Back in 2010 we had a chance to do a beer making PROCESS SHOW with our friends out West at Aspen Brewing Company, in their old space. Things have changed mightily for them since (they've grown a ton, have moved their taproom and brewery to new, larger spaces, they package their beer now, etc etc etc...) but the process of brewing beer is still the same. And Rory Douthit is a masterful teacher. Now LETS MAKE SOME BEER. Cheers!
PART ONE:
PART TWO:
Mark, Jimmy and Squigs land in a place that is REDOLENT with Craft Beer. Are they in Colorado? California? Vermont? Perhaps a megapolis of millions of people? Play through to find one of the newest (and most enjoyable) Craft Beer stops in this Land of Suds and Honey: BEER CULTURE. Cheers!
The entire New York City area craft beer community has been eagerly awaiting the arrival of Michigan's Bell's Brewing...and it's here. Jimmy caught this picture of kegs of Kalamazoo Stout and Two Hearted Ale rolling into Beer Culture in midtown Manhattan just minutes ago. The Bell's launch event is ON!
One of the things we love about having as much content as we do (over 250 video episodes - that's DAYS worth of video content) is that sometimes we have no idea the cool places it might end up. Yesterday we found out that our friends at the Brewers Association, which runs the site CraftBeer.com, picked up the episode we did featuring Union Craft Brewing down in Baltimore last year. Our video just keeps on keepin' on!
A burning question we know you've all been struggling with; what did brewers do, 'back in the day', before they had access to refrigeration? How did they deal with all that hot wort? What did they use to flash off heat and then continue with open fermentation?? Set your worries to rest: We've got you. Join Jimmy, Mark, Squigs and special guest Jeff 'Chief' O'Neil up the Hudson River in picturesque Peekskill. Cheers!
Last summer's BEERmuda Triangle Tour continues, as the Guys continue onward from Beer City USA for 2012/2013, Grand Rapids, MI, and head to one of the places where Craft Beer got started in Michigan - Bell's Brewing. Larry Bell got Craft going in the Great Beer State way back in 1984, fermenting with a 5 gallon soup tureen covered with Saran Wrap! My how things have change. And how happy are the folks at Bagger Dave's Cascade location, when they discover what their prize is! Eat well, drink local! Cheers -
Jimmy, Mark and AJ land once again in Indianapolis, IN, home to the tremendously cool folk of Sun King Brewing. Craft Beer has made it to Indiana, and in a big, big way. You may have heard of them and love their beers, but why can't you get them in your state? And what's with those resealable aluminum cans? Have a watch and find out. Cheers!
