Welcome to 2018! We hope you all had a safe and fun New Year’s and are looking forward to what 2018 will bring.

We’re kicking off the new year with some beers from Southern California. We tend to say this a lot, but it’s pretty awesome for us in SoCal to have access to so many good beers. The variety of options is pretty staggering and we’re living in a great time in craft beer. This week, we’re featuring four beers from a brewery that’s fairly new to the scene, but not new to the podcast, Chapman Crafted Beer. Also on deck is a crowler from Highland Park Brewery and a heavy-hitting 13% ABV coffee stout from Noble Ale Works and 2nd Craft.

During the show we discuss the recent Extreme Beer Fest that went down in Los Angeles a few weeks ago. Without getting too far into it here, the Fest was pretty awesome. This fest has been exclusive to the east coast in past years, and this was the first year that the boys at Beer Advocate brought it to the west coast. In short, it was a fantastic beer festival and we can’t wait to attend next year.

We wish everyone a safe and happy 2018. Be good to yourself.

BREW THE SHIT OUT OF IT.

Season 4, Episode 39 – This week, we’re exploring some new beers, as well as some classics from Orange County, California!

We tend to say this a lot, but what a time to be a beer geek. Craft and Independent brewery numbers are at an all-time high, and the variety of beer available to beer drinkers is simply amazing. This week, we’re hanging out in our proverbial backyard and drinking some brew from sunny Orange County, California.

In addition to the newer beers that we’re drinking this week, we’re also revisiting a beer that was the talk of the interwebs when John and Matt first got into Craft Beer. Which beer might this be? The legendary Knuckle Sandwich from Bootlegger’s Brewery. It’s a beer that is polarizing to many beer geeks now, but it’s true to its roots and really packs a punch (puns!).
