Description

Beer gurus Augie Carton (Carton Brewing) and John Holl (author of Drink Beer, Think Beer: Getting to the Bottom of Every Pint) get to the bottom of the day’s most pressing craft beer issues with help from opinionated brewer friends, know-it-all barkeeps, and smarmy industry insiders. For each episode, Augie and John will blind-taste and dissect two beers on air (provided by that episode’s guest) while discussing current beer topics, news, and styles.

your uploads are very interesting and there is a lot of interesting information here about beer, but there is nothing I would do other than supplement your podcast with a very good article where they talk about very good equipment that you can buy from them: https://www.micetcraft.com/brewery-equipment-how-to-maintain-the-boiler-system/ I am sure that people who brews beer, that will be interesting

First time listener....loved this podcast, will certainly be coming back for more. But one question....why do I detect so much hate for those that brew IPA's these days? I love my IPA's as well as porters and stouts, but I do not like pilsners and lagers....but hey, no hate here. Just asking. Other than that, this is a great podcast on the 2nd greatest subject in the world-after baseball of course!
