Zack’s Brewing Company in studio with Linefest Beer! [Perfect Pour EP280]

Zack's Brewing in studio

Zack’s Brewing opens their doors for the first time on December 15th in Fresno. The same day at the same time, across the street, Tioga Sequoia Brewing has its Rush Day bottle release event!

It will be a rush of a day for us and Fresno and we have Gail & Steven Zack in the studio to talk about it.

Opening a new brewery comes with many joys and frustrations and we’ll hear about some in this episode – even about working with Untappd and kids & dogs in taprooms.

We don’t forget to do our normal brand of beer geek talk. Like:

  • Are we, in the Craft Beer Community, okay with paying $20 plus for 16oz 4-packs? It’s life now.
  • How do you like your taprooms? Size wise I mean.
  • Why does Budweiser’s BCBS still a Linefest Beer?
  • Lister podcasts, aka Voicemails.

All this and more on this 32oz sized megasode. Enjoy!

Craft Beer Donations: The Perfect Pour EP279

We still are talking about Sierra Nevada’s “Resilience IPA” and what it means to the Craft Beer Community. It’s too damn cool to not keep talking about it! Think of it: we will be able to do side-by-sides of our favorite breweries take on the same beer!

Plus, somehow there is a beer awards show buried in the episode, romantic beers and a lot more beer talk!!

Hop Bullets & Hazy Days! The Perfect Pour #276

Grinder episode. This is a grinder episode: Show up. Drink beer. Podcast. Wait for next week.

The thing to takeaway from this episode is that nobody wants to change the term “Bottle Share” to “Can Share”.  Nobody.

Also, Mikey’s performance was terrible this episode. Just warning you. I blame the cider.

A Place To Wait Out Craft Beer Trends – The Perfect Pour Beer Geek Show #271

We are entering another Dark Time for craft beer. Brewery closures and cutbacks are the trend, so it’s time to hunker down and wait it out until the next surge.

At least there is a lot of equipment out there to be had for the new breweries that are brave enough to open. And we have a lot more local taprooms than we did before the latest craft beer expansion, so there are places to wait things out.

This episode also has…

Nick went to Seattle and Portland and checked out their beer scenes. It seems nobody has told Seattle that we are in the middle of a Haze Craze and Nick wants everyone to leave them alone.

Taproom hoping with people that are not beer geeks can be fun… until about the third room.

Our 4th and final crowler in our Fieldwork Brewing series is cracked.

There was a Podcast Rep GETIT at Monkish Brewing.

Don’t forget, the Mr. Beer Kit is a system!

Post GABF 2018 Report | The Perfect Pour Episode 270

As much as we love gold, we did not win any at GABF. But we had “people” there. People like “Jake From State Farm”. He (along with some other listeners) was actually there and gives us a post GABF report as he fills in for the vacationing, Nick.
