Episode 25 - Greg Doroski, Threes Brewing

This week we welcome Greg Doroski, headbrewer at Threes Brewing in Brooklyn. Greg was a brewer at Greenport Harbor, out on Long Island, before relocating to Brooklyn last year to help open Threes, where his passion for saisons and farmhouse ales is currently on display. Greg tells us about how he got into the business and why his best selling beers are not necessary his favorite ones (HINT: they include lots of hops and cheeky names like I Hate Myself and You People).

Episode 24 - Industry News Show

With news of craft beer buyouts and mergers coming in almost weekly now, we decided to weigh in on the issue. (Before you tune in, maybe check out this article from our friend Jeff Alworth as well as this one over on Mitch Steele's blog if you'd like to contextualize our frames of reference in the days leading up to recording this show.) We brought our old friends Aaron Goldfarb (Episode 2) and John Kleinchester (Episode 18) along to weigh in with their takes. It was a lively discussion. We didn't all agree on the meanings of these mergers and buyouts but that's to be expected. We hope you enjoy.    

***Want to let us know your thoughts on these issues? We love having a back-and-forth with you guys. So please feel free to email us with any questions, complaints, whimpers, or whines. We read everything we get and we'll try to respond as quickly as we can. If not online, then on air! We'll keep doing more of these mail and news shows if you guys keep writing in. Thanks!!!***
