We were joined by returning podcast guest, Paul Lahm, whose become a bit of a resident mad-scientist brewer at Broken Goblet. Co-owner Jay Grosee and Bar Manager Righteous Jolly also took turns on the mic as we chatted about the the brewery, its history and array of goings-on. Dan gave us the scoop in news, we played Band or Beer (with a gothic theme) in Happy Fun Time and Steph talked about brewing with tea in Know Your Beers. And, as usual, we sampled an array of delicious libations, some of which are not listed here because, frankly, we went off script and this episode was recorded about a month before I am writing this. So, give me a break, huh? You’ll just have to listen.

Show notes

100th Episode Extravaganza at Canal Street Pub

We made it to 100 Episodes! To celebrate this Beer Busters milestone we held a live podcast celebration at Canal Street Pub and invited a slew of past podcast guests to come out and share in the festivities. We have been overwhelmed by the support of the craft beer community in the years since we first launched Beer Busters, and this event only served to solidify how awesome so many of the friends we’ve made along the way truly are. Words cannot express our gratitude for the generosity our fans and friends showed on this momentous occasion, and throughout the life of Beer Busters. We want to truly and deeply thank all of you, everyone who has been on the show, everyone who has supported us and, especially, to all of our fans who have taken this journey with us. There would never have been 100 episodes without all of you. And here’s to 100 more!

Episode 99: 10th Annual Wine and Dinosaurs Fest Oct 07, 2016

Show notes

At the 10th Annual Wine & Dinosaurs Fest at The Delaware Museum of Natural History

For our first podcast in the First State we set up at the 10th Annual Wine and Dinosaurs Festival at the Delaware Museum of Natural History. The annual festival boasts beer, wine, food, live music and a silent auction with all proceeds benefitting the museum and the incredible work they do in their community. This was definitely one of our favorite venues we’ve had the privilege of podcasting in. Surrounded by dino skeletons sporting fedoras and leis, we chatted with several people from local breweries, many of which have never been represented on Beer Busters before. We’d like to extend our thanks to the museum staff, festival volunteers and all of our guests and we would definitely come back next year!

On this episode we had the rare privilege of visiting a brewery in our hometown of Reading, PA. We set up shop at Oakbrook Brewing, Reading’s first brewery in over six years, and sat down with owner and brewer Kyle Neuheimer. Located in a renovated historic firehouse, decorated with a 1930s era motif and a collection of items from the building’s history, Oakbrook is truly a gem. Dan reported on some news stories, including a breakfast cereal beer and an internet financed beer fund. We played Libation or Fabrication in Happy Fun Time and Steph taught us about British Brown Ales in Know Your Beers. All the while sipping on flights of Oakbrook’s outstanding selection.
