Episode 194: Hemauer Brewing (or Thick Ass Wax) Jun 12, 2020

Show notes

At the top of the show, we interview Nate Kresge from GK Visual, the Harrisburg production company behind Brewed in the Burg, Poured in PA, and now a new ongoing docu-series, Poured in PA: The Series. With a more in-depth focus on the stories of craft beer throughout Pennsylvania, the series is available on YouTube, and coming soon to Amazon Prime. It’s worth a watch, particularly episode 5, which features a few of your favorite podcasters. Then we dive into the main episode…While many small businesses are struggling during the ongoing shutdown, Hemauer Brewing is a bright spot – they’ve pushed ahead and opened their doors! Founder Brooks Hemauer joins us again after his last appearance, a mere six months ago, that now feels like a decade. In the news we talk about the new Sheetz/Neshaminy Creek collab Hot Dog Beer (seriously), GABF going virtual, and the closing of the 3Floyds Brewpub. In Happy Fun Time, Wayne hosted a brand new game all about Strange Shots and Curious Cocktails. All the while maintaining social distance and keeping ourselves properly hydrated.

In solidarity with the recent protests following the death of George Floyd at the hands of law enforcement, we are suspending our Patreon pledges for the month of June, and encourage our patrons to instead donate to charities and organizations that work to promote equality and support communities of color.

Special: Dennis Guy and The Daily Sip with Ralph Marion Jun 05, 2020

Show notes

Given the recent protests that have arisen in the wake of the death of George Floyd at the hands of law enforcement, we have decided to make an effort to use our platform to support the black community by stepping away from the microphones and sharing our space with the voices of that community. This episode, we present audio from a livestream by Dennis Guy, Co-Founder and CEO of First Sip Brew Box. As a black business owner and veteran, Dennis shares his thoughts on the current movement with a message of positivity and unity, while recognizing the pain and injustice that has persisted in our society for far too long. This is followed by the audio from a recent episode of The Daily Sip, a video series hosted by Dennis, in which he has a conversation with Ralph Marion, aka The Beered Black Man, a craft beer enthusiast and blogger from Birmingham, Alabama, who promotes diversity and inclusivity in the world of beer.

We are suspending our Patreon pledges for the month of June, and encourage our patrons to instead donate to charities and organizations that work to promote equality and support communities of color.

Episode 193: Stickman Brews (or She Did Do It and She Should've Done It) May 22, 2020

Show notes

Quarantine continues, we’re all stuck at home, but the podcast must go on! Since we’ve started this series of socially distant episodes, we’ve made a point to have guests on that we know well, really get along with, and that we can count on to keep us laughing. Few people fit those requirements quite as well as Ethan Buckman, co-founder of Stickman Brews. Unfortunately, our field-promoted, honorary fourth Beer Busters, Kevin Keller, couldn’t join us for this one. But, we soldier on and engage in riveting conversations about dick pics, creamy cocktails, Oreo beer, and the worst Wawa in America. We also talked about Stickman’s work with Laurel House and their Walk a Mile in Her Shoes, a Men’s March Against Rape, Sexual Assault, and Gender Violence. Steph reported on the Sly Fox Bock Fest and Goat Race going digital. And Dan took over the job of Happy Fun Time Games host and lead us in a round of Stay the Fuck Inside, a drinking game made for social distancing, and supporting COVID-19 relief, including proceeds donation to Meals on Wheels. We drank, we laughed, we forgot about how crazy the world is for a little while. Hopefully this episode can help you do the same. Cheers.
