Episode 175 : Ben of Arboretum Trail

Nick and Sara went on site to visit Arboretum Trail Brewing Company. Ben joined us with news about what they’re coming up with for the One Sweet Afternoon fest Fueled by Hops is putting on. We talk about fests and Untappd and the upcoming beers for Arboretum. As we wrap, Ben answers our silly questions and gives us his favorite styles and we leave you with a tease on the Triple IPA coming on 8/11/22.

Episode 171 : Dads, Douches, and Lagers BONUS

Back in the basement with the Douche and the Dad, we go completely off the rails with dogs who play poker to start. The Douche keeps us beer related as we go through a bunch of stories of the beer community. Dad likes the creepy basement bathroom.

Episode 168 : Food and Festivals

Nick and Sara are back! Exciting news and beer talk abounds! We start the conversation this week with cooking with beer! After a failed attempt at cooking with alcohol (Let us know your recipes! We wanna try them!) we hit on Trails To Ales Brewery in Franklin, PA after coming home from Warren, PA. After Trails to Ales, we hit on Trace Brewing’s 1st anniversary party. We rage about Coven’s opening and then move on to Arboretum Trail completing their Honeycomb investment campaign. We touch on Fermata Brewing opening on March 26th and talk about their logo. Pivoting to festival season, we discuss at length the Prototype Brewery Invitational and our VIP tickets have been purchased! We shout out Best Brunch Ever and Barrel and Flow. Nick wants to challenge Fueled Nick to a Nick Adams off at 412 Brewery’s Beers and Brawls fest. We wrap up with our normal plugs and look forward to cooking with your beer recommendations!

Episode 167 : Books and Beers

Nick and Sara make their triumphant return to the mics in the basement. We kick off this week with book talk and The Martian by Andy Weir is up first. After book talk, we move right into beer news! We kick off the episode with a huge shout out to Prototype Brewery and Meadery’s Invitational beer fest in April. After that we cover our picks in the Breweries In PA March Madness bracket! (*We’re behind on this and the conversation is dated… SORRY. ) We cover our Stamp of the Week, one of our favorites Spoonwood Brewery! After the Pittsburgh Brewery Guide Brewery of the Week, we jump into our trip to Richmond, VA with a beer from Vasen Brewery. Next we rage about Crafthouse’s beer list even though we love the concert venue. Nick promises to make it to Barrel And Flow fest this year. To close out the episode we talk about Fueled By Hops and their partnership with Point Park University to provide a scholarship to their beer education inclusion program.
