Port Brewing | Four Brewers Podcast

Season 4, Episode 5 – This week, we’re going full blown IPA.

This week on the show, we are drinking a massive amount of IPA. Not only are we drinking IPA from Pizza Port Brewing Company, Port Brewing Company, and Noble Ale Works, we’re drinking some IPA whales from the legendary New England IPA whale farm, Trillium Brewing Company. That’s right folks! We’ve got some juice on the show this week and a mini IPA showdown.

So, here’s what happened. We were thinking of ideas for a show and it dawned on us that Port Brewing Company recently released some of their well-known IPA in cans. Since Pizza Port Brewing Company has been releasing their beers in cans for quite a while now, we thought, “hey! why not try them side-by-side to see which beers are best?” And now, here we are!

A lot of folks tend to get confused with the Port Brewing/Pizza Port/Lost Abbey brand of beers. Just to keep things simple, all of the breweries are owned by the same people. But just because they’re owned by the same people, doesn’t mean that they’re the same brewery. Port Brewing Company and The Lost Abbey brew out of the same brewhouse, while Pizza Port Brewing Company is actually a brewery that makes beers that were originally formulated by many of the small Pizza Port brewpubs in the San Diego area. Still confused? It’s ok. We get into it a little deeper during the show.

After the showdown (and a refreshing dive into the 4B Mailbag), we wrap up with two juice bombs from Trillium Brewing Company, and Noble Ale Works’ latest New England-inspired IPA, 24K Juice.

4B Theme Song: The Sleeping Sea King

Season 3, Episode 30 – This week, we’re discussing hoppy brew, Saison, and brewery collaborations with Tomme Arthur of The Lost Abbey / Port Brewing.

The Lost Abbey is probably one of the best Belgian-style breweries in the world, creating some of the best saison, wild ale, and barrel-aged beer that money can buy. Today on the show, we’re joined by The Lost Abbey’s (also, Port Brewing Company and The Hop Concept) Head of Brewery Operations, Tomme Arthur. The beers on the show this week represent some of the best qualities of the craft beer movement, from the two collaboration beers that The Lost Abbey brewed with Wicked Weed Brewing and Brasserie Dupont, to the experimental fresh and hoppy Mosaic & Eureka IPA from The Hop Concept.

The Lost Abbey, Port Brewing Company, and The Hop Concept beers all come from the brewhouse within The Lost Abbey. It can be a bit confusing when referring to three different breweries that are technically located under the same roof, but there’s a reason why it’s done this way, which Tomme gets into during the show. The beers that come from these three brands allow the brewery to experiment in different ways without confusing or overloading the consumer. Wouldn’t it be weird if The Lost Abbey made a dank-bomb IPA? Yes, it would be. You can’t really find a bad beer from any of these three brands. Their diversity exemplifies the knowledge and creativity of everyone involved with producing their beer.

Recording an episode at Port / Lost Abbey / THC was one of the raddest things we’ve ever been able to do as a show. Much thanks to Tomme and the team for putting this show together!
