| #172: Kyle Poissonnier | CFC Wear | 24 Oct 2022 | 01:31:02 | |
We’re joined in the studio this week by founder of @CFCWear and friend of the brewery — Kyle Poissonnier! Kyle was selling t-shirts out of a car trunk when Noah was making his first “beer” on the stove. Needless to say, a lot of growing has happened since then, and Kyle opens up on the undeniably long and mistake-laden path that led him - and virtually any “successful dreamer” - to where he is today. We also get into the genesis of Catalyst For Change; it’s “Just a Kid From Maine” and other biggest lines; Surviving Black Friday as a Small E-Comm 101; public speaking, and so much else. 👚👕💭🏈🎤😥🌲🎬📺🍻🌾 Grab life by the handlebar moustache and listen to our entire conversation NOW, available wherever podcasts are sold for free! .

We’re joined in the OG studio this week by @BBBThreeRivers’ very own — Chef Joe Robbins! With five months of operating Milo’s kitchen under his belt, Joe reflects on the nuances of serving top-notch food in a small town, rolling with an incredibly lean crew (he represents 50% of kitchen staff), and finding profit in sourcing locally. We also get into how Joe’s Penobscot heritage influences his approach to food, the many virtues of @RezDogsFX, and the truly touching story that got him into the kitchen in the first place. Our entire conversation is available NOW, wherever locally grown podcasts are harvested. 🍔🏀🥩🍁🌮🍻🧀🥕📈❤️🌾 .

Oxbow CFO (and actor, photographer, and former semi-pro football player) Matt Delamater is with us this week!

We get a into his highly unique performance journey, beginning with a Barry-esque entry into Maine community theater as an adult banker. Wild and genuinely inspiring stuff. 🎭 Take in all three acts of this convo with a golden-hearted polymath of life, available NOW wherever tickets are sold. 💰📈🚜🎿🌲🍻🏈🎭🎬💛🌾 .

| #168: Baking Convection & Hop Selection | 26 Sep 2022 | 01:02:42 | |
Noah’s back from hop selection; Matty has become a pretzel baker; So much has changed. We get into sensory overload, being selective at selecting, drive-thru coffee (but SEXAY), BBB’s ability to flex in Yakima, Shawn Kemp’s merch void, vibe-killing drink orders, and finally wind down with some deeply analytical ranking of various pretzie hauses. *The seatbelt sign is now on* Available OVEN FRESH right friggin now, wherever your podcasts are baked. 🥨👨🏼🌾🌾🚜🍇🌳✈️🇩🇪👙☕️🍻🏀 .

With Fall here, the timing couldn’t be better to talk apples with Zack Kaiser of @AbsolemCider! Absolem is located in the heart of central Maine on one of the most beautiful properties you’ll ever see, making some of the best cider we have ever tasted. Naturally, 90 minutes wasn’t close to enough time, but we had an absolute beast of a convo that should serve as a great primer to those also ignorant but interested in the magic apple fermentation. 🍎🐓🍏🌾🍁🌻🔨🥂🍇🍻 It’s freshly pressed and available in full NOW..and just might be the perfect length to listen to on a drive to Winthrop 🤷♂️ .

| #163: Josh Schlesinger | Bissell Brothers | 22 Aug 2022 | 01:31:54 | |
e’re joined this week by one of our very own — @BissellBrothers Head of Distribution Josh Schlesinger! Josh (or Sniff as he’s known by nearly anyone with a pulse) was the brewery’s second hire back in early 2014, and his tenure has afforded him a very unique perspective on how BBB’s beer is best served (full pun intention) outside the brewery walls. 🚛📦⏳ In our conversation, we reflect on how Sniff and his team’s approach to distribution has become more fluid and flexible over time, while simultaneously doubling down on the ideals that brought the company success in the first place. We touch on Christmas evictions, BBB’s big plans for Grocery, country music sensations, and so much more. 🎸🧘🎄 The episode is available in full NOW, wherever you get your ice cold podcasts delivered! ✈️🌏🚛🛢🍁🛒🍻🌾 .

| #159: Seth Morton | Jackie O’s Brewery | 25 Jul 2022 | 01:11:04 | |
We’re joined this week by fast friend and Director of Brewing Ops at @JackieOsBrewery, Seth Morton! Seth gets into how his eleven year tenure at Jackie O’s began with a very special sledgehammer; shares some of his vast wisdom about barrel sourcing, recipe design, and turning “ladybug” into “Twizzler”; and discusses how the brewery’s commitment to community is far more than a tagline or attractive drop-down page.

This week, we’re joined remotely by fulfillment extraordinaire, landlord, and co-owner of @PermanentHangover — CAMERON BOSCH! There’s nothing but love here for the Steel City as Cam discusses PH’s keenly measured growth as both a brand and company; the ways it continues to differentiate itself in an unthinkably crowded space of digital B2C; and how he fundamentally changed his lifestyle and sh(r)d 75+lbs by learning to love the goddamn process.

| #156: Guess Who’s Going to Jail Tonight | 04 Jul 2022 | 01:19:43 | |
This week, we’re solo once more before a long guest run, and Noah has a lot to ask Matty about what life is like behind two very different sets of BARS. First, Matt gives the grain-to-glass process (subjective and abridged) on how a rap verse finds its words, discovers the beat it was meant to marry, and the two main lines of creative process in the world of hip-hop. 🎧😷🎤😬📝 Next — as the title implies, Matty provides an inspiring blend of insight and perspective gleaned from his experience being incarcerated. Few places are portrayed more in culture, but how much do you actually KNOW about life inside the wildly unique microcosm of jail/prison? Also, an impromptu recitation of Jarvis Masters’ “A Recipe for Prison Pruno”. 🍷🚽🧃🍜🎓🚔🚨✍🏾 Enjoy your freedom by choosing to listen to this episode, available NOW just about everywhere (maybe even jail). .

| #154: Jamaal Lemon | Good Beer Hunting | 23 Jun 2022 | 01:18:08 | |
Thanks for the patience, but we’ve got an episode well worth the wait — writer Jamaal Lemon returns to the pod! A lot has happened since we first got to know each other over a year ago, not the least of which is a @BeardFoundation nomination for his three-part @GoodBeerHunting piece, “Tek Cyear uh de Root”. He goes deep on how the idea developed into the artful synthesis of Charleston history, beer, guns, and systemic racism it grew to be. Our conversation was tremendously eye-opening, often difficult, but ultimately lined with hope (always does with Jamaal), and we can thank @SweetGrass3 enough for the honesty, openness, and perspective.

RRRRRANDYYYY CARRR-VVVVEERRR of @LIMITLESSWRESTLING!!! *Normal voice returns* Ever since our conversation with @ReelCatchAV at the start of the year, our interest in the new era of pro wrestling has been fully piqued.

| #142: The King of Pop Loved Gueuze | 20 Mar 2022 | 00:52:13 | |
Fully yoked on Vitamin D, Matty asks Noah about his Florida trip, which leads to an exchange of highway cookin’ yarns and the creation of some VERY LEGITIMATE review incentives…⁉️🥕❔ | |||
| #141: Blake Tyers | Creature Comforts | 16 Mar 2022 | 01:32:55 | |
Noah is joined by the Smoothest of the South -- Blake Tyers of Creature Comforts! The chisel comes out early, and Noah picks Blake's brain from everything to barrel program philosophy, the measured and wildly impressive growth trajectory of the brewery, D-I marching band life, and of course, the ever-lurking off-flavor THP -- a subject Blake has led the awareness charge on. Blake also discusses Creature's upcoming LA location and the wild story that sparked it all, his current role leading the brewery's innovation arm (the Catalyst Division), and delivers one of the most delightful and informative Three Bay's you'll ever be graced with. | |||
| #140: Down With the Sickness | 07 Mar 2022 | 00:59:04 | |
Reunited once more, Matty talks about losing a few bad rounds to COVID (but getting the decision in the end) and asks about @BissellBrothers upcoming beer dinner; Noah discusses the blending process at @BBBThreeRivers through the lens of the soon-to-be bottled second batch of Spellwork (sinful and gin-ful as ever) and gives some tips for cloning Lux; Politicians are deftly compared to COVID variants. | |||
| #139: Paul Arney | The Ale Apothecary | 28 Feb 2022 | 01:22:17 | |
Noah is left alone and afraid this week, but all’s made well with the presence of a true 1-of-1 soul — Paul Arney of Ale Apothecary! Paul’s perspective on the industry (and his brewery’s reflection of it) is as refreshingly unique as you’re going to find. More words won’t do the conversation justice, but rest assured there’s spruce logs, a tiny and mostly-wooden brewery in a forest, and one hell of an admirably free spirit. Get your wonder on NOW, available where podcasts get got. 🏔🌲🌳🌿🌱🍄🌾🍻🤠 .

| #138: Margaret Dever | Bissell Brothers | 21 Feb 2022 | 01:09:58 | |
This week, we welcome Margaret Dever to both the podcast and to the BBB team! Margaret was (coincidentally) finishing up the brewing program at Sacred Heart when she applied for and got selected for @BissellBrothers Equity Internship. We deep-dive into her experiences with both, Noah talks about why she was shined too bright to not offer a full-time job, and through the conversation, inadvertently lay out a fantastic blueprint to follow for anyone looking to break into the brewing industry. Inspiring and informative on a variety of levels, you don’t want to miss this one — available NOW wherever you get ‘em! .

| #137: Braap Pro Shops | 14 Feb 2022 | 00:54:43 | |
A good ol’ solo on the docket this week! Matty discusses his recent but brief integration into local snowmobiling culture (and subsequent choice of headwear), Noah talks about his upcoming Philly trip to brew at @ForestandMain, and the mailbag is opened up to discuss brewery financing, Swish Lite®️, and a slew of other juicy topics. | |||
| #136: Jamal Robinson | New England Brewing Company | 06 Feb 2022 | 01:13:40 | |
This week, we’re honored to be joined by Jamal Robinson — director of sales/marketing at @NewEnglandBrewing, 2021 @GoodBeerHunting Signifier, a major catalyst behind both NEBCo’s @BrewAtSHU African American Brewers Scholarship and @ChangeInTheAirFestival, and, ..well you get the point. We get into Jamal’s absurdly storied industry history, NEBCo’s shocking (to Noah, anyways) size, and the array of inspirational ways he’s leading change in the beer industry through action, not words. Let it all hit ya, available NOW wherever you get podcast. 🍻🥯👨🏾💻🚛👔📊💎🍺🎓🌬 .

| #135: Dustin Small | Forager | 30 Jan 2022 | 01:17:56 | |
Wooooh, get your learnin' pants on for this one! We're joined but BB3R's very own Dustin Small, an integral member of our small Milo staff and as we've come to find out, a pretty damn knowledgable forager. We get into the inspiring story of how Dustin found foraging and turned it into a very viable revenue stream for his family; run through Maine's foraging season from Ramps to Hen of the Woods; the not-as-difficult-as-it-seems-but-still-dangerous act of identifying mushrooms in the wild; and merely scrap the iceberg tip on the simply astounding (under)world of the wonder-fungus (and lifeblood of mushrooms in addition to seemingly everything) that is mycelium. Simply put, this is a must listen, regardless of your curiosity towards mushrooms, because they matter to this planet a lot more than most of us realize. | |||
| #134: Porous Places | 24 Jan 2022 | 00:57:12 | |
On our first solo of the new year, Noah discusses some recent blending woes and the soon-ish return of 🍑Just the Pits🍑 and debut of a 🍯 beer; the #GrainGang comes up BIG with combo of “..Holy Shit!” stories (🤯) and thought-provoking questions (📐🧠); and Matt hardens Noah’s just a bit more by linking his precious beers with the most un-saisonlike NFTs on the market. | |||
| #133: Mike Semenec & Vince Tursi | DSSOLVR | 17 Jan 2022 | 01:28:43 | |
2022 keeps the positive momentum rolling (at least with this podcast), as we're joined by the co-founders of DSSOLVR -- Vince Tursi (again) and Mike Semenec (a first). | |||
| #132: Ashley Medrano | Trillium Brewing | 10 Jan 2022 | 01:02:25 | |
After a holiday recharge, we are back with a 🔥 for a conversation with Ashley Medrano. Ashley cans beer at @TrilliumBrewing by day, but cracks open cans of whoop ass by night as Ashley Vox, a professional wrestler that’s had matches everywhere from local fairgrounds to @AllEliteWrestling, @LimitlessWrestling, and @RingofHonor. | |||
| #131: Banish Your Demons | 23 Dec 2021 | 01:06:17 | |
Late, but not too late for Christmas! The guys discuss barrel aging and 2021 Angels With Filthy Souls; discuss a 180* on nuts; answer a sack of questions about Santa, wrestling, and gift giving; and of course, get appropriately sappy cause it's just that time of the year, baby. ............ ...................... ..........

| #130: Alex Kidd II | Don't Drink Beer | 12 Dec 2021 | 01:20:33 | |
The Soothsayer of Stout, the Lukr of Litigation -- Alex Kidd of Don't Drink Beer and Malt Couture -- is back in the grain sack. We discuss a largely improv-free pandemic, new fatherhood, list making, and plate stacking. Erudite as ever, Alex also offers his take on how to stay excited about beer, avoiding Flex Culture at all costs, and pairs up some pop-improv shows and movies with some beers of the year. Less is more in the description, get the real thing NOW. | |||
