Four Brewers: Craft Beer and Homebrew – Details, episodes & analysis

We're back! After year of personal issues, familial issues, and issues with life in general, we're bringing the show back! We're kicking it off with a random spattering of beers while discussing the 2026 World Beer Cup winners, the 12 most important IPAs of the 21st century (so far, according to Vinepair), and the acquisition of the Stone Brewing Co. brand by Duvel USA and Firestone Walker Brewing Company.

Episode 371: GUINNESS!

This week on the show, we revisit a beer that is likely the most recognizable and well-known stouts in the world, Guinness. We're sampling four styles of Guinness this week, one of which is a special one-off from Guinness made in collaboration with Brooklyn Brewery called, Fonio Stout.
