CBR 510: Take Two

Author: Craft Beer Radio August 4, 2023 Duration: 1:55:56
Jeff, Greg, and Shannon return from New England trips loaded with legendary beers—juicy hazy IPAs, barrel-aged dessert stouts, and complex sours. They share travel stories from Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Coastal Cape Cod, and Portland, then dig deep into reviews of standouts like Twin Barns Lake Cruiser, Hill Farmstead First and Last Things, Fiddlehead IPA, Allagash Days End, The Alchemist Crusher, Foam Built to Spill, Lone Pine Holy Donut, and Foul Mouth Grand Cru. The crew pit each beer head-to-head in detailed rankings and a final FMK, nerd out about breweries (Von Trapp, Jay Wakefield), ponder flavor realities, and encourage listeners to join their Discord. The verdict: Lake Cruiser was an unexpected winner—FMK segments abound.

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.
