(NSFW) In this episode, Ed regales Nate and Chris with tales from his visit to the iconic Rowley Farmhouse Ales in Santa Fe, New Mexico. The studio comes alive with the popping of corks as the trio embarks on a beer-tasting adventure. The first sip is the uniquely crafted "Teosinte," a farmhouse ale where Oaxacan green dent corn, and Teosinte a Mexican grass take center stage creating a delightful symphony of corn sweetness and funk. As they savor the ale, and try to use words to descibe the grassy notes they are tasting. But somehow fall short. Despite John's absence in Tucson, he ensures Ed has a splendid time at Rowley, known not only for its exceptional brews but also for its outstanding food. The culinary highlights, including pineapple upside-down cake, gyro tacos, and red chili fries, become part of the storytelling, creating a sensory-rich experience. The tasting journey continues with "Supernatant," a robust creation featuring Norwegian Farmhouse yeast and Grüner Veltliner lees from Vivac Winery. The beer, bottled with Alfalfa honey, unfolds as a crisp and funky sour ale—a perfect companion for shared moments with friends. The third and final tasting, "If You Must - Tablas Creek," offers a glimpse into the world of lactobacillus Berlin-style weissbier, aged in Tablas Creek Esprit de Tablas Blanc barriques on fresh Mourvèdre must. The result is a nuanced beer with notes of grape skin tannins, oak-derived vanillin, and a refreshing tartness. This one makes Nate reach for the Tums!

(NSFW) Welcome to the first episode of 2024 with Ed, Chris, and Nate—a lively journey through the ever-evolving craft beer landscape. Ed brings back some hoppy treasures of Weld Works Extra Extra Juicy Bits IPA from his Colorado holiday, setting the stage for a year of exciting new brews. For the old news front, the gang talks about some drama that happened with the closing of Flying Basset, intertwining with its in-house culinary scene. Chandler bases Buqui Bichi Brewing is ready to open its second location in Phoenix this year, and The Starving Artist, powered by OHSO Spirits, prepares to breathe new life into the old Helton Brewing Company space. Phoenix Magazine's intriguing article, "The 12-Pack of Arizona Beers We Sent to Texas For Losing a Bet," becomes a point of discussion—do they agree with the list, and how many of these beers would they personally savor? Also on the list is a style not really talked about the Southwest IPA. What is that? On the non-alcoholic front, White Claw makes a surprising move, introducing just a plain old seltzer water. Nate, ever the cider enthusiast, expresses a longing for more hop-infused ciders at Cider Corp. But that's just one mans opinion. Wrapping up the episode, the trio reflects on the industry's landscape, sharing insights on the notable downturn in craft beer sales for 2023.   Our Information: Music Credit: Takotsubo Men Stories we talked about: https://www.phoenixmag.com/2024/01/05/the-12-pack-of-arizona-beers-we-sent-to-texas-for-losing-a-bet/ https://en.buquibichi.com/home https://untappd.com/b/weldwerks-brewing-co-extra-extra-juicy-bits/2167198 https://www.phoenixnewtimes.com/restaurants/former-helton-taproom-in-phoenix-to-be-replaced-with-the-starving-artist-17909418 The assorted sounds of three ageing humans hitting things in a studio for five days.

(NSFW) In the second episode of this season, Ed, Nate, and Chris kick things off with a splash of significant beer news. They shine a spotlight on some substantial acquisitions orchestrated by a relatively lesser-known player in the industry, Tilray, a Canadian-based cannabis product company. Tilray's acquisition spree extends to a slice of AB/InBev's craft portfolio, including renowned brands such as Greenflash and Alpine. The hosts delve into the nuances of this acquisition, dissecting both its promising aspects and potential drawbacks. As the discussion unfolds, they ponder whether this move might herald a broader trend of brands expanding their portfolios within the ever-evolving beer landscape. A notable shift takes center stage as Nate, formerly a fervent Wren House Brewing enthusiast, inches towards a burgeoning affection for Dark Sky Brewing. Although he might be hesitant to admit it, the transition is palpable. Speaking of Wren House, the trio seizes the opportunity to sample this year's iterations of the Podcast Dudes Beer, affectionately known as Peaches and Cream IPA. Additionally, they celebrate the blossoming partnership between the Beer Research Institute and Quail Distribution, spreading the love for some of their favorite brews across the entire valley.

If you know that a friend likes or loves craft beer tell them to give us a listen. Or if you know someone who is new to craft beer and you are tired of telling them about the scene, let us be your soap box! Or have an amazing whale that you want to share with the world. Go on your social media platform of choice and give us a shout out. Use the hashtag #hoppycraftsmen and we’ll respond in kind. Probably in some form of emoji and maybe a super rad type of comment. You get the picture.
