Happy Monday, Thieves! Our final Rochester show drops today. We’re welcoming Sean O’Keefe of Pontoon Brewing.

He talks about it all in a very candid way. (Sorry, no Will Cleveland on this one.) Tune in and let us know what you think!

Episode 451 - Holidays 2023 w/Joel Shelton

Happy Monday, Thieves! We’re kicking off the 2023 holiday season with our perennial guest and dear friend Joel Shelton. Joel fills us in on his year and what’s been happening with his Inner Circle Beer Tours, which ones were successful and which ones were canceled. (No love for saison? Really, folks?) We have some fun in the black glasses with two spiced beers, one slightly more successful than the other. We also read a Joel-specific question. Tune in and let us know what you think!

Episode 447 - Planning Jersey 2023 (Part 1)

Happy Monday, Thieves! In what’s become a bit of a tradition around here, we’re once again recording with our friends from Plan Bee, The Seed, and Rabbit Hill Malt during the first week of November. 3/4 of us couldn’t make it down this year (kids, work), so Augie fired up the pocket recorder and did an impromptu DIY session. (Actually two sessions; Part 2 to follow next week). So you’ll notice a bit of a difference in audio quality this week and next. Tune in and let us know what you think!

Episode 444 - Jason Goldstein, Icarus Brewing

Happy Monday, Thieves! 3/4 of us that make this podcast may live in the Garden State but we don’t have NJ breweries on the show too, too often. (Blame Kennedy, My Man, the lone New Yorker, who does 99% of the booking and barely sets foot in the state.) Today, though, we’re happy to welcome Jason Goldstein of Icarus Brewing. Jason was around for an Icarus-Carton collab so we asked him to join us and it was a good time. Tune in and let us know what you think!
