THE BRAJCAST

Since Jorge Castro started Boxlab Brewing Co. in Puerto Rico in 2014 on a 3 barrel system, he's had to cope with hurricanes, earthquakes, and now covid.  We talk about how the strong rum culture in the Caribbean makes it difficult for craft beer to stand out, the realities of sales tax when living on an island, why you can only really sell sixtel kegs (1/6 of a full keg of beer) in PR, how George Lucas's Star Wars films inspire his work ethic, and more much

Brandon Hernandez is San Diego's premier beer writer.  We talk about writing without using clickbait, how choosing beer at a liquor store is extremely difficult these days, Brandon's lupus disease during covid and not leaving his house for months, why podcasts are the best when it's just between two people, how attitude is everything,  the fate of industrial park breweries, how Societe's Pupil IPA is the "in-n-out double double cheeseburger" of the craft beer world, and much more!

CH and Trent talk about the Chicago beer scene, Trent's television quality video production skills that the YouTube algorithm doesn't pay attention to, how Trent got into making wine before he started making beer, using Steven Spielberg's movies as inspiration for his beer themed YouTube channel, and much more!

CH and Sarah (Flora Brewing) talk about worst hangovers, hangover cures, why we should all be entering beer competitions, juggling YouTube with a full time job, the success of LaCroix, the Los Angeles beer scene, and much more! 

CH and Adam talk about how death should be better embraced in American culture, theres way too much "fake mad" in the world, how covid is a weird death, will 'click bait' ever die?, people still telling us to "STAY HOME", will costco ever sell cannabis, but most importantly.. how having good work ethic outweighs everything.  

CH and Ryan talk about quitting a good salaried job to get into beer, ballast point fails, covid-19 longevity, integrity vs hard seltzers, and why beers should never be more than $6

CH and Maurey talk about ABV tax, yelp ratings, water profiles in homebrewing, milk beers, how beer unites us all, and much more!  Thank you for stopping
