Episode 39: Road Trip - Biere de Femme Beer Festival

Episode 39: Road Trip - Biere de Femme Beer Festival

In this episode Ryan makes his not so triumphant return (he was doing the recording and he is also why this is a day late) as the guys head to Asheville and Highland Brewing for the third annual Biere de Femme Festival.    Bierre de Femme benefits the Pink Boots Society and features beers brewed and spearheaded by women.  

In this episode you will hear from Carol Waggeer from Bold Missy Brewery, Melissa Bruno from Mother Earth Brewing, our podcasting brethern Cheers Charlotte, and Richard Cox of Well Crafted. What you will not hear is the awesome intro the guys did that passionately made the case for more inclusion in craft beer and referenced King Arthur and Justice League.  You may also get a little bit of baby Declan.

Besides our guests Between the Pints would like to thank the program director of one of the best public radio stations in the country, Joe Kendrick of WNCW, for the assist with the equipment.  

Until next week, Slainte.

Short Pours: Folklore Brewing and Meadery

Short Pours: Folklore Brewing and Meadery

Aaron was in Alabama last week, and had the privilege of talking to Jeremy Pate of Folklore Brewery and Meadery in Dothan, Alabama. They talk family, small town life, old school homebrewing, and connecting the beers of today with the stories of yesteryear. Thanks for listening, and stay tuned for a SUPERSHOW coming soon as Ryan and Aaron record at the Biere de Femme festival in Asheville on March 2nd.

Between the Pints would like to thank Jeremy Pate for taking the time to hang out and chat, as well as the whole team at Folklore for making Dothan a place where craft beer is alive and spreading the good word of great beer!

Episode 37 - No Ryan, New Baby, Pink Boots and Biere de Femme

Episode 37 - No Ryan, New Baby, Pink Boots and Biere de Femme

Ryan catches a bunch of strays as he welcomes a new craft beer drinker (in 21 years) to the world.  

Aaron welcomes Mother Earth Brewing reprsentative, Melissa Bruno to the podcast to talk about the Pink Boots Society and Biere de Femme.  

Pink Boots is a group of women in craft beer that seeks to promote diversity within the industry (brewing, sales, marketing, etc.) and Biere de Femme is the beer festival they have created that isn't like any beer festival in country.  Biere de Femme is a rare beer festival with beers created and brewed by women and uses all the proceeds to pay for scholarships for women to gain access to different jobs within the industry. 

Ryan will be back soon (the next espisode).  He will talk about he and his wife's new small roommate (he eats a lot, but doesn't pay for anything).  Now that the two babies are here, the podcast will return to its normal goofiness and hopefully a little more.

Short Pours - Colorado Springs

Aaron was somehow allowed to not only board a plane, but to even leave the state! Over the holiday season, he decided that the best gift that he could possibly give was to record from a few local Colorado breweries and to make some recommendations to you, our loyal (and likely drunk) listeners. Cheers!

A special thanks goes out to Bristol Brewing Company, Iron Bird Brewing, Colorado Mountain Brewing, BierWerks Brewery, and Ursula Brewery for being such good hosts.

Today Ryan and Aaron welcome Friend of The Pod, Bold Missy’s Carli Smith to give you their Golden Girls of craft brewing. The trio names their favorite breweries in the AARP category of the craft beer age. It is silly, we hope it is entertaining and we think it is informative. So, sit back relax, enjoy, and remember,
“And if you threw a party
Invited everyone you knew
Well, you would see the biggest gift would be from me
And the card attached would say
Thank you for being a friend”

Episode 25: Uncapped - Part 1 of Rating Sites - Safe Novelty

Aaron and Ryan were gone for a couple of weeks because Aaron and his wife welcomed a new tiny roommate and Ryan moved into a new house. They make their return with the first of a two-part series on online beer rating systems and what they mean for the craft beer industry.
In the episode, besides the many tangents the Between the Pints has quickly become known for, they do manage to talk about Untappd, Beer Advocate and Rate Beer and how those sites are a part of a larger crowdsource movement that has changed not only craft beer reviews, but the way many of the things we enjoy for entertainment are critiqued. Basically, the guys try to figure out if these sites are Tools of Knowledge or Tools of Ignorance.
Also, Aaron declares that furries are OK and Ryan takes shots at right answers.
As always, the guys want to thank Hygge Coworking for the use of the podcast space. This week’s music is “Guitar Strut” by Lorenzo’s Music and can be found on Free Music Archive.

Episode 23 - Brew News

Episode 23 - Brew News

This week, Ryan and Aaron cover the latest news and happenings in the craft beer industry, despite both running on virtually zero sleep and with zero energy. Oddly enough, this actually makes for some of the most interesting and eclectic commentary yet!

On this episode they cover beer and cider rationing in the UK, the impact of beverages containing THC on the craft beer industry, a South Carolina brewery looking to expand west even while trying to sell their business, and so much more!

Episode 20: Session Beers with Joe Vogelbacher

Episode 20: Session Beers with Joe Vogelbacher

In this week’s episode, Aaron and Ryan start a new interview feature called Session Beers. The first Session Beer guest is Joe Vogelbacher from Sugar Creek Brewing. He is the co-founder and President of Sugar Creek and an Advanced Cicerone. He is also going to be featured in a documentary about craft beer and the Cicerone program. In the interview you will find out about the Sugar Creek, the Cicerone program, the documentary and much more. Joe may be the most interesting man in Charlotte craft beer.

The guys would again like to thank Joe and the rest of the crew at Sugar Creek for coming on and bringing beer samples. For future guests, we like swag, but beer samples are more then adequate. The guys would also like to thank Hygge Co-Working for the use of the podcast space and Blank Kytt for the use of the opening and closing music this week. Check them and a lot of other great artists out on the Free Music Archive.

Episode 18: Uncapped, Vol. 1

Aaron and Ryan debut their new show, Uncapped. They will deep dive into a single beer or beery subject or interview with a beer person. This week, they go into the Shaun Hill interview from a few weeks ago in which he discussed his own battles with mental health issues and fears of alcohol addiction. He talked about a lot more, but that is what everyone is mentioning. The two also give recommendations and generally digress at the drop of a pop culture reference.

Episode 17: Brew News

In this week’s episode Ryan and Aaron start playing with the format. You spoke. We listened. In an attempt to get the episodes down to a more listenable time frame we’ve broken the recording into to 2 episodes. No worries, there is the same silliness and pop culture digressions. This is the Brew News episode where the guys cover a lot of the big beer news of the week. The next episode, Uncapped will be a deeper dive into one particular topic.

Episode 14: Teaching Beer Without Being Pretentious

On this week’s episode Ryan and Aaron vamp because no one likes us enough to come on at the last minute. Actually, the guest just postponed to next week. So, the guys talk about trying to educate the growing craft beer public without sounding like the Comic Book Store Guy in the Simpsons. In other words, talking beer with newbies without being a pretentious prick.

Episode 11: Love Your Craft

Aaron and Ryan welcome in Travis Tolson from Amor Artis Brewing out of Fort Mill, SC. The show gets off to a rough start. Aaron and Ryan both had long weeks at their day jobs, but despite not being professionals make a great recovery for a really good conversation with Travis. This turns out to be one of our favorite interviews so far. Travis has such a deep love of brewing and the community he lives in that it comes through everything he says and does, especially the beer.
