Episode 62 - Cellaring

Do you have a the urge to hoard hard to find stouts and sours in your pantry or basement? Do you have a case each of the last five years of KBS or maybe a seven year vertical of Black Note? Lets talk about it! We will be chatting about when/what you should and shouldn't cellar and debating if cellaring really makes a difference.

 

Dust off a couple of them old bottles and come hang out with us!

The show you've all been waiting for!  This is a long one folks.

Episode 59 - Michigan Mead Cup with Gail Milburn (redo)

The 2021 Michigan Mead Cup has officially wrapped! Join us as we talk about the competition with Gail Milburn as well as discuss mead, brewing, judging, competition organization and so much more!

Episode 58 - Bad Reception and Beer Talk

This weeks episode was originally scheduled to be with Gail Milburn where we were going to discuss the Michigan Mead Cup, brewing mead, competitions, and all mead related things.

Unfortunately we caught Gail in the "wild north" of Michigan with some limited internet.  Because of that we pushed the episode with her out until November 1st.

This episode may cut abruptly to Jordan, Jason, and I talking so I just wanted to give everyone a heads up.  Instead of Gail we decided to continue on with a more laid back episode with some general beer (and home ownership?) talk.

Thanks in advance for understanding and we'll catch you next week!

Episode 57 - Motor City Mashers

We are getting back to our Homebrew roots this week, and will be hanging out with Daniel Kukuk and Mike Neville from the Motor City Mashers Homebrew Club out of Taylor Michigan.

Episode 56 - Cider Talk with Brian Walker

Join us as we talk to our friend Brian Walker about the ins, outs, dos, and don'ts of cider making, his plans for an upcoming cidery, apples, and whatever else comes up!

Episode 55 - Michigan State Fair Homebrew Competition

We are going to be chatting with Blair Bowman Jr, organizer of the Michigan State Fair Homebrew Competition.

 

We will dive into the history, the comeback, and what's in store for this great Michigan focused competition.

Episode 54 - (Theoretically) Distilling Old Beer

In 2020 many homebrew competitions were canceled due to the pandemic. In some cases where the homebrew had already been shipped to the comp, that homebrew was donated and distilled into hand sanitizer, in a way making all of us homebrewers Heroes!

 

This got us thinking about distilling beer in general, be it for hand sanitizer or spirits. So grab a beer or some other adult beverage an join us as we share what we have learned about this topic, and maybe commiserate about all of our gold medal beer that was dumped or distilled over the last year!

Episode 53 - Michigan Homebrew Festival / Michigan Beer Cup Recap

Its been a week, but we are still coming down from 2021 MHF!  Grab a beer and hang out with us while we chat about the amazing time we had at MHF (and the hardware we brought back from MBC!)
