518 - Einstok

Author: The Beerists February 21, 2022 Duration: 45:48

Einstok is an Icelandic brewery located just a skip away from the Arctic circle, and we're trying 4 of their beers on this episode! We become completely baffled by shelf life, question the brewer's intent, and almost give up and buy a whole country.

  • Arctic Lager
  • White Ale
  • Arctic Pale Ale
  • Toasted Porter

Gather around the table with John Rubio, Grant Davis, Pam Catoe, and Mark Raup for a weekly session that feels more like a great night at your favorite bar than a formal review. The Beerists Craft Beer Podcast is a lively, unfiltered conversation where five different beers from across the globe are opened, tasted, and honestly debated. You’ll hear the genuine reactions-the pleasant surprises, the occasional disappointments, and the hilarious detours that come when friends share a few drinks. It’s this unique blend of informed tasting notes and spontaneous, often comedic, camaraderie that earned the show a nod from the A.V. Club as “consistently illuminating and amusing.” Each episode is a journey through flavor profiles and brewing backgrounds, but it’s equally about the stories and laughs that bubble up along the way. Whether you're a seasoned cicerone or just curious about that strange bottle on the shelf, this podcast offers an accessible and thoroughly entertaining deep dive into the world of craft beer, making you feel like you’re right there in the room with the crew.
