Episode 381 - Halfway Crooks Beer, Shawn Bainbridge & Joran Van Ginderachter

Happy Monday, Thieves! We’re talking to Shawn & Joran of ATL’s Halfway Crooks today. These guys came on our radar last year for their lagers, but turns out they make some other killer beer too. We talk about their Belgian-inspired roots and making IPA’s with lager yeast. As well as some tomato and cycling talk, to boot. It was a fun time and we think you’ll dig it, too, so tune in here and let us know what you think!

Happy Monday, Thieves! Our friend Lew Bryson is in the B-Rizzle Mobile Zoom Studios this week chatting with us about a host of random topics. Lew and Holl were together down in DC recently and shared some fun anecdotes about cheap motel lobby drinking, "pocket whiskey," and the best cargo shorts for carrying booze around the nation's capital. It was a rollicking good time despite a miss in black glass 1. Tune in and let us know what you think!

Episode 379 - Eric Ruta, Magnify Brewing, is Back

Happy Monday, Thieves! We’re talking to Eric Ruta of NJ’s Magnify Brewing today. Eric was on the show the a few years ago and a few of you thought we were unfair to him. So we’re checking in again to see how things have changed in the intervening years. We talk about the pleasures of doing fun things and ignoring the haters. For the blind glasses, Kennedy used some cheap foil which spoiled beer 1. Beer 2 was a total confusion… Tune in and let us know what you think!

Happy 4th of July, Thieves! We sat down with Scott Wells of Bolero Snort yesterday (Sun, July 3) to talk about the surprise drop of some new NJ beer laws that went into effect late last week.

Episode 372 - The Gang Catches Up

Happy Memorial Day, Thieves! We’re doing some catching up this week but decided to keep Andy Crouch around for the episode as well. So it’s not a traditional “just the four of us” show but more of an extension of last week’s show with some bonus content. It’s our second show of the afternoon, and maybe you can tell? I dunno, it was fun and we think you’ll enjoy it too. Tune in and let us know what you think!
