Our "Shelter-in-Place (SIP) Happy Hour" Episode 1 is here and it went about as well as you'd expect. Grab a beverage and give 'er a listen. 

Guests: Chris and Deana Hill from Odyssey Beerwerks, Chad Moore and Jordan Fink from Woods Boss Brewing, Owen Locke from Locke + Co Distilling, and Master Cicerone Dan Imdieke

Betsy Lay, co-founder of Lady Justice Brewing, joined us this week. Over a beer and some Zoom-supported virtual social distancing, we discussed the brewery's commitment to supporting non-profits that assist women and girls in Colorado, COVID-19's effects on higher education, and how the membership model might help smaller craft breweries maintain cash flow.

We brought some friends together -those who make beer, those who drink beer, and those who write about beer- to talk candidly about what is going on amid COVID-19. Give 'er a listen. 

We commence our remote interviewing journey this week by practicing social distancing with Chad Bratt, General Manager and Marketing Director for Denver's Jagged Mountain Brewery. We discuss the stuff we usually do on the show, but spend a lot of the show talking about how breweries prepared for the pandemic, what they're doing to weather the storm, and the lasting effects COVID-19 will have on the craft beer industry across the globe.

Many thanks to Jay's brother Brian Schrader for joining us on this one. Because we are going to be recording remotely, we plan on having "special guests" on often. It's our attempt to keep things light and to help all of us retain a little sanity. 

We consumed a lot of calories -beer, donuts, and pizza- while chatting up Drew Watson, owner and head chef at Hops and Pie, the Denver pizza (and now donut) shop known for its unmatched craft beer offerings and tasty pie.

I am running out of funny titles... Sorry. 

We made our way to Park Hill for this week's show to meet with Chris Cunningham, Ryan Chrisman, and Nate Smith, the crew behind the magic being brewed at Long Table Brewhouse. 

Many thanks to Brock Harper for stepping in to cohost on this one. He did more research for one show than we have done for the previous 60 combined.

We met up with Sean Peters and Justen Coufal, the two fantastic humans behind Peak View Brewing Company in Greenwood Village. Our old buddy Kevin Paquette showed up midway through the interview, too. 

Sam sat down with Nick Stafford and Tyler Burgei, co-founders of Landlocked Ales, one of Lakewood's hidden gems. 

Judd Belstock, founder and owner of Dos Luces Brewery, dropped some knowledge on us in this episode, teaching us about brewing with corn, the influence of imperial conquest on Latin and South American beer, and the politics of beer categories and styles.
