Under The Lid

After a brief hiatus we're back with more beer and bullshit.  Today we have AJ & Clay, the general managers of WBC's brewpubs.  With topics ranging from wedge salads and ghost pepper roulette to baby-arm-turds and jalapeño urethras, this episode will leave you giggling.  Crack a cold one and enjoy.  Cheers!

What is there to like about Great Bend, Kansas?  Dry Lake Brewing Co!  For our first episode of 2022 Cody drove to Great Bend to chat with the founders, Kevin and Ryan.  They talk about acclimating small town drinkers to craft beer norms, dry lake beds turned bike trails, yacht club beer memberships and more.  Cheers!

For our last episode of 2021 we welcome Fert the Foodie to the pod!  Fert has been reviewing restaurants on social media for a number of years and in the process helps hidden gems thrive.  We talk about Wichita restaurants, Century II, Gordon Ramsay on Hot Ones, Cody getting "violently" high on weed brownies, Detroit-style pizza and more!  Cheers!

Wrapping up the pods from Cody and Jeremy's recent trip to Kansas City, today we have Mike from Transport Brewery!  Mike is a member of the 1%er's who weren't homebrewers prior to wanting to start a brewery.  In this episode we discuss his unique path to brewery fame and fortune, the transportation history of Kansas City, consequences of opening a brewery on a snowy day in January, the Illuminati, and whether or not the term "global warming" is politically incorrect versus climate change.  Cheers!

Today we have Sebastian and Molly from Dempsey's Burger Pub, et al!  Dempsey's is, of course, loved for their gourmet burgers and craft beer centric tap list.  We take you behind the scenes with a brief history of Dempsey's origins in Lawrence, restaurant war stories, firing psycho staff and threats of decapitation, and a little salamander shit talk:)  Cheers!

Next up from Cody and Jeremy's trip to KC are Emily and Dave from Limitless Brewing out of Lenexa, Kansas!  Emily and Dave represent a first for Under The Lid; they are the first brewery owners who decided to open a brewery, not because of homebrewing (they weren't homebrewers), but because of a newfound love of craft beer following a vacation to Charleston, SC.  We talk about JoCo Juice and, Cody's favorite, Out of Touch IPA, a continuation of brewers' opinions of Untappd ratings, the aromatic love breweries impart on their surrounding neighbors on brew days, and much more.  Cheers!

Hailing from Lees Summit, MO, we welcome Mac and Courtney from Diametric Brewing to the pod!  We have a great discussion about a cease and desist from Patrick Mahomes, brewery name changes, Affliction t-shirts and AARP while sampling Mac's tasty beer.

Be sure to check out Diametric's upcoming event called 25 Beers of Christmas.  Enjoy!

Cody and Jeremy recently made a trip to KC for a podcast marathon.  First up in our remote studio, aka Pathlight's brewhouse, is Tanner; co-founder and head brewer at Pathlight Brewing Co!  We talk about Tanner's mild obsession with Saison and Lambic as a home brewer (mild obsession=he had a fucking barrel program and a coolship), Pathlight's Formula 1 niche, surviving opening during the heart of the COVID pandemic, we offer a definitive judgement on the difference between double, triple and quad IPA's and a whole lot more.

Tanner wears a lot of hats and one of them is gracious host.  Thanks Tanner for the hospitality and we can't wait to visit again soon!

Today, Cody is joined by a couple of his day job  (head brewer at Wichita Brewing Co-Production) colleagues: Mike and Weston!  They're both military veterans and have been a great addition to team WBC.  They talk about the benefits of enjoying your job, a "marry, fuck, kill" of sorts for liquor, beer, and cannabis, Mike lies about cannabis use, and much much more.
Cheers!

After a changing of the guard at River City Brewing, we invited the new co-head brewers to the pod; Brandon & Denver who replaced Logan after his exodus to another brewery!  Light on beer talk but heavy on randomness and comedy, we talk about things like "cuffing season", Brandon's stand-up comedy career, the in's and out's of child birth, and dreads.
