CBR 506: Throwback

For over a decade, Craft Beer Radio Podcast was the trusted companion for anyone curious about what was bubbling up in the world of independent beer. Hosts Jeff and Greg built a genuine community, filling each episode with lively conversations directly from brewers, honest reviews of the latest releases, and unpretentious advice for getting the most from your glass. It was a weekly ritual that disappeared without explanation in 2019, leaving a quiet spot on the feed. Now, the story behind that silence is finally being poured out. It turns out that playing a part in sparking the massive Hazy IPA Craze came with a surprising and personal cost for the duo, a reality they had to step back and fully digest. This return is more than just a revival; it's a continuation of the journey, blending the same deep appreciation for the arts of brewing and food pairing with the improvised, comedic rapport that always made the show feel like a conversation at your local taproom. Tune in to hear how a passion project evolved, what happens when a hobby becomes an influence, and why some stories need time to ferment before they're ready to be shared. This podcast picks up right where it left off, exploring the craft with both reverence and a well-timed joke, always keeping the focus on the people and the flavors that make this community so unique.
