Stay ConnectedWelcome to Unfiltered, a podcast featuring leaders in the craft beverage industry sharing their stories and providing a behind-the-scenes look at what they do.
Hosted by Dr. Samuel Jay and Jay Schrader, Unfiltered is your go-to podcast for everything craft.
We bellied up with Ryan Kilpatrick (founder) and Brittany Portman (head brewer) of Fiction Beer Company to discuss family-friendly breweries and letting dogs drink alcohol.
We sat down with Deana and Chris Hill, owners of Odyssey Beerwerks.
We covered a lot of the stuff we usually cover (ex. beer) but we realized we really liked these two and as a result, potty humor and tasteless jokes crept into the show.
Enjoy!
Sam and Jay sat down with Katie Schroepfer, Derek Goodman, and Matt Sauerwein, part of the executive crew from River North Brewery. They discussed River North's return to RiNo, meeting production demands, and trends in the industry.
First off, sorry about Jay's mic. We were outside on a very, very windy day. Second, enjoy the show. Dave Bergen, owner and brewer at Joyride Brewing Company was an awesome guest. We highly recommend heading over his way for some drink and Monday night euchre.
Sam and Jay handle a 100-degree day in Denver by sitting down with the crew from The Intrepid Sojourner Beer Project to talk about their roots, their beer, and their future.
There is no Jeff. Tamir Danon, co-owner and brewer at Novel Strand Brewing Company, did call Jay "Jeff" though. Great interview here with a great dude.
On a 100 degree day in Denver, we found a cold corner at Comrade Brewing and talked shop with founder David Lin.
We trekked to Talnua Distillery to talk whiskey and Irish American history with co-owners and co-founders Meagan and Patrick Miller. In addition to tasting the offerings, Patrick gave us one hell of a lesson on spirit-making in Ireland, Scotland, and the United States plus some history of how things all came together to make Talnua a possibility.
Thanks so much to Meagan and Patrick for having us. This was a fun interview to record. Great people up in Arvada, Colorado. We highly recommend finding them there, at bars around town, or on liquor store shelves.
We've returned to the hard stuff for this episode and sit down with Rick Talley and Owen Locke, co-founders of Locke + Co. Distilling. We cover a lot of ground and went into depth on the unique qualities of their aspen-aged rye whiskey, which is amazing.
For our friends down south, be sure to catch Rick at Interquest Liquor in Colorado Springs on Saturday. He's be slinging some samples.
This little side project of ours finally got us to WeldWerks Brewing a.k.a. the craft beer drinker's Valhalla. We sat down with co-owner Colin Jones, Director of Operations Kristin Popcheff, and lead brewer Dereck Gold, three of the masterminds behind the magic that is Weldwerks. We drank some beer and talked about the organic brand growth and awareness they've experienced since opening.
