    Craft Beer Radio Podcast

    Craft Beer Radio was once the go-to show for beer lovers eager to explore the world of craft beer. From 2005 to 2019, hosts Jeff and Greg delivered weekly interviews with brewers, reviews of new releases, and tips for enjoying your favorite brews. A staple on iPods and Zunes, the show mysteriously went silent in 2019. Years later, the truth emerged: the emotional toll of influencing the Hazy IPA Craze forced Jeff and Greg to confront the unintended consequences of their impact on the craft beer world.

    After a long hiatus, Craft Beer Radio returned in 2023 with a new co-host, Shannon Bearer. But this time, the mission has changed. No longer focused on educating the masses about craft beer, the show now embraces a more relaxed, fun-first approach. Think of it as all post-show, all the time. The New Craft Beer Radio is here for the laughs, the stories, and the good times — with a beer in hand, of course.
