This week I visited with Cory Smith from Twin Oast Brewing in Port Clinton, Ohio. It has been a couple years since I last visited with Cory and since then there have been several changes. They have added a 60BBL lagering tank to combine with their 30BBL tank. They have also put in a new biergarten which features pour your own beer faucets.The biggest news came in June of 2023 when Twin Oast aquired Catawba Island Brewing Company. This will eventually become a sour beer production facility, and fans of Hot Blonde don't need to worry as they will continue to brew that year round. This Friday and Saturday 9/29 and 9/30 Twin Oast will be hosting their annual Oastoberfest. You can buy tickets online through 9/26. After that you will need to purchase them at the door. They are $5 for Friday and $10 for Saturday. There will be plenty of entertainment as well as 19 breweries serving up their beer. If you have time you should definitely check it out.

Beer Selection:

·       Proast – Marzen  6%

·       Oastweizen – Bavarian Wheat Ale 4.7%

·       Vivod w/Peaches – Berliner Weisse 4.5%

·       Hot Blonde – Mango and Habenero Blonde Ale 4.8%

·       Malt Whitman – Belgian Style Wit 5.2%

This week show has me at the Ashland Alefest. It was a fantastic day on so many levels. The weather was amazing, the beer was delicious, the food was delectable, the music was terrific, and the crowd was outstanding. In part one of the Ashland  Alefest you will hear my visit with Sandra Tunnell who is the Executive Director of Ashland Main Street which is the organization responsible for bringing the beer fest to Ashland. My next guests were Carmone and Duncan McCfarlane from Phoenix Brewing Company. We caught up on what is happening at their brewery and they teased something big that will be happening at their location soon. My final guest of this episode was Dave Kornmiller from Brewery 33 in Hocking Hills. Dave provided a ton of insight into what's happening at their brewery located in southern Ohio.

In the opening of the show we talk about Maui Brewing buying Modern Times Brewing as well a new brewery that is coming to Shaker Heights Ohio called Midnight Owl.

During the interview segment of the show, it's just more of your favorite two pod-casters Bob and myself talking about valuable lessons learned while operating a brewery. This show is mostly filled with laughs and blunders.

In the Just one more segment we try a beer from Tired Hands Brewing that is touted as a no boil hazy IPA. Get ready for the reactions to this beer.

This week Bob and I revisited the Smart Brew concept and dug a little bit deeper into it. We also discussed big news from Avon Brewing regarding an impending move to a new location that would expand their spot and allow them to produce more beer. Their parking lot will expand five times its current capacity, and they will be adding an event room. In the "Just one more" segment I cracked open a wet hop Head Hunter IPA from Fat Heads Brewing Company.

During the interview segment of the show, I sit down with Jon Hovan who is the co-owner of HiHo Brewing Co. We discussed how Jon and his wife fell in love with craft beer and homebrewing during their time in Denver Colorado. We also talked about how they went from both being teachers to developing their brewery into a staple of Cuyahoga Falls. During the segment we sampled their pilsner, IPA, their amazing white stout, and of course their World Beer Cup gold medal winning beer called Touchdown Brown.

This week Bob and I talk about a strange concept called smart brew that allows a restaurant, pub, or bar to brew their own beer in a space of only 150sq feet. Essentially the smart brew company creates the wort based on the style of beer you are looking to serve. The concept removes the brew house and lets the establishment focus on fermentation, dry hopping, fining, and serving. We discuss what if any impact this could have on the brewing industry as a whole. We also discuss Ohio issuing its 400th brewery permit.

During the interview segment of the show, we sat down with Mike Piazza who is the head brewer and co-owner of Blue Heron Brewery. We discussed his love of English style beers as well as getting started in home brewing and making the journey from an award-winning homebrewer making 10 to 15 gallons to becoming a professional brewer on a 10BBL system. We enjoyed some great beer with Mike as well as some great stories and tons of laughs.

At the end of the show we introduced a new segment called "Just one more". The first beer featured in Just one more is a NEIPA brewed by our good friend and co-host Bob from Wrecking Crew Brew Works. Listen as we discuss this uniquely complex beer.

This week Bob and I talk about the upcoming Ashland Alefest which takes place on 6/18. We also discuss the Ohio breweries that brought home wins at this year World Beer Cup. Thirteen Ohio Breweries brought home 15 medals. We also discuss BrewDog owner James Watt giving up 5% of his stake in the company to employees.

In the second half of the show I traveled to Willoughby, Ohio to talk to Paola Valbuena and Jon Hill from Pulpo Beer Company. Pulpo is the first Latin owned brewery in the state of Ohio. They bring a taste of Latin America to all of their beers on tap. During the interview we talked about their expansion to Crocker Park where they will open a tap room that features 24 different beers ready to serve.

This week Bob and I talk about the upcoming Ashland Alefest which takes place on 6/18. We also discuss a report stating that the craft beer industry's growth has slowed and that in an industry that sees over 100 Billion in sales annually that Craft beer sales only makes up 27% of that number. The article from the Star Tribune late points out that breweries should begin to focus on growing their brand rather than their facilities or geographical footprint. Our final opening topic covers the apparent popularity of lagers within local breweries. In a report from the Wall Street journal the claim is made that smaller breweries are no longer afraid to add lagers to their portfolio due to recognition that this style of beer is popular amongst consumers.

In the second half of the show Bob and I travel down to Paradigm Shift Brewery in Massilon, Ohio. We sat down with Mike Malinowski who is the owner, brewer, and pretty much anything you can imagine at Paradigm Shift. We sampled a Kolsch, a sour, an IPA and his GABF medal winning Belgian Tripel. Mike talked about a big expansion project he is working on currently, and we discussed pandemic brewing as well as inflation and supply chain effects being felt at his brewery.

This week Bob and I celebrate the 50th episode. Actually, we just mention it and then we drink a really huge barrel aged Imperial Stout in commemoration. Bob and I talk about the beer fest that took place in Medina this past weekend, and in the news and views segment we tackle the topic of satellite tap rooms versus distribution expansion as a means of growing a brewery. Remember, you can email the show at feedback@thebrewerofseville.com and submit questions for our upcoming interviews, and now we have a new after-hours drunk hotline for the podcast. The number is 330-271-0874. Give us a call and leave your drunk messages and if they are good enough, we just might play them on air.

In the second half of the show, I travel up to 8th Day Brewing in Auburn, Ohio, and talk with one of the owners/brewer Matt Boddy. We discussed how he went from working a full-time construction job to becoming a full-time brewery owner and brewer. During the interview we sampled some amazing beers from Matt including a killer Kolsch, a fantastic Irish Ale, a solid West Coast IPA, and an amazing NEIPA. Stop in to see Matt at 8th Day Brewing Thursday thru Sunday. They are located at 11782 Washington St, Chagrin Falls, OH.

This week I am joined once again by Bob Vokac from Wrecking Crew Brew Works for the opening of the show. In a new segment of the show called News and Views we discuss the topic of supply chain shortage issues and the impact it is having on brewing industry. We talked about alternative options to avoid supply chain issues as well as how to prepare for the impending shortages that we are sure to face in 2023. The Medina beer fest will take place on April 23rd from 5:30 to 10:30pm at MAD Brewing.

In the second half of the show, I travel down to Maize Valley Brewing in Hartville, Ohio. I spoke with Jake Turner who is the head brewer. Jake has been a part of Maize Valley since they started in 2014. As a former medic in the military and a former fireman Jake has faced a number of high stress situations, and because of his past careers he finds brewing to be the least stressful career he has ever had. Jake and I tasted his California Common, German Pils, West Coast IPA, and BA Imperial Stout. Jake sheds a light on how diverse Maize Valley is and how that has translated into success even throughout the pandemic.

They started growing hops in a small section of their property for their home brews early on, and after 8 years they have grown it to 1 acre featuring hop varieties such as Triple Pearle, Vista, Chinook, and Triumph. During our sit down we talked about everything that is involved in running a hop farm including the prep work in the spring to post harvest. We also focused on their newly opened event space which is two barns joined together that date all the way back to the late 1800's. During the show we also got to sample some of the beer from local breweries that are using their hops.

Beer Selection:

·       Auburn Beaver Tail Ale ( Bummin Beaver Brewing) – Pale Ale 6.1%

Big Bird joins me and we discuss our recent goings on in the world of craft beer. In news segment we take a deep dive into the chaos that took place at the Platform Brewing Company's tap room in Columbus, Ohio this past weekend.

In the news I discuss a female brewery owner being named as an associate administrator of field operations for the U.S. SBA. I also mention a beer spa and who drinks more beer, The Czech Republic or The Brewer of Seville. Spoiler alert, the difference between the Czechs as an average and myself is staggering.

We return for season 2 of Pint Talking. In the first episode of the new season Bird and I discuss trends that are expected to continue in 2021 as well as talking about how Facebook is full of angry people looking to argue all the time. I declare that I may very will give up on Facebook entirely in the coming weeks, and Bird declares that NEIPA's are his most favorite style of beer ever. In this weeks interview I sit down with Fred Karm who is the founder and brew master at Hoppin' Frog Brewery in Akron Ohio. Fred discusses the brewing scene in Akron in 2006 when Hoppin Frog was formed. In another unique story Fred tells me about how Peanut Butter Hazelnut Caramel Chocolate Cake Stout won a gold medal at a beer contest in Belgium which is of course strange since they are so heavily steeped in tradition.

3.     Magic City Brewing Company – But I thought everything was okay.

ABV: 6.3-7.4%

IBUs: 23-35

Color: 6-9

Serving Temp: 38-45

Serving Pressure: 10-14 PSI

Beer Representation: Maibark

6.5% ABV

19 IBUs

Beer Description: Golden, easy drinking, traditional example of Maibock. All German grains, yeast and hops.

In this episode I sit down with the hilarious guys from Wrecking Crew Brew Works, Ryan Primiano and Bob Vokac. We discussed how they began in a detached garage in the city of Medina and eventually opened a tap room just a few streets over. We poured several samples including, Better than Doug a white stout on Nitro brewed with coffee from a local coffee roaster, as well as Pants off Dance off, which is a delicious west coast IPA. These guys were a real blast. Make sure to check them out next time you're in Medina.

In this episode I sit down with a fellow craft beer podcaster to discuss our favorite beverage. We learn about the first craft beer Dean ever experienced and how it changed the way he would forever look at craft beer. We discuss how he got his start in podcasting, ironically enough it spawned from his early days of doing stand up comedy in California. We also talk about the effect Covid-19 has had on the industry and what is selling and what is not.
