TRVE Brewing is finally available to purchase in Southern California! Therefore, we’re celebrating by drinking some tasty brews provided to us right from the source in Denver, Colorado. Greg was recently in the Mile High City (for reasons of which are still unclear to us) and stopped by TRVE to pick up some beers and talk to the very people who brewed them.

But the fun from Colorado doesn’t end there! Funkwerks also recently became available in Southern California as well, so we’re trying a couple of their staple beers and a few special bottles provided to Greg earlier last month.

Thanks to both TRVE and Funkwerks for the brews and welcome to SoCal!

BREW THE SHIT OUT OF IT.

Season 4, Episode 49 – This week, we fall for a gimmick and we’re actually pretty OK with it.

Marketing is everything, amirite? If you’re reading this blog post right now, it’s pretty safe to say that you’re a fan of tasty craft brew. But, are you a fan of creative marketing? Well, yes, you are (to a certain extent, we all are), but you might not even know it. While the most important thing about craft beer is that actual liquid in the bottle you’re purchasing, the second most important thing is marketing. A brewery’s job is to sell you their product, just like every other retail company.

This week, we fall for a marketing gimmick, and we’re OK with it, because it’s a pretty tasty gimmick.

This week on the show, we’re drinking the New Belgium Brewing Company Blend Like a Brewer variety pack. Essentially, what we have here is a box of New Belgium’s standard line of beers (with a special sour beer thrown in for good measure) and a pamphlet that takes you on a magical beer blending journey. New Belgium got some of their brewers together to concoct six different blends of beer from the beers in the variety pack. Pretty cool, right?

Turns out, the blends are pretty damn good! Seriously—we thought they were quite impressive, overall. So, pick up a box at your local supermarket and get to blending!
