In this lively episode, the crew dives into a mix of nostalgia, creativity, and celebration. The legendary Randal the Enamel Remover makes a comeback in conversation, and Ed proposes an intriguing blend of stout and sour beers. They review the Hockey Czech! Pilsner from Goldwater Brewing Co. and reflect on the bittersweet end of the Arizona Coyotes and Grand Canyon Brewing's Kachina beer, with Nate and Ed expressing their stages of grief over these losses.
They discuss the layoff of Cigar City Brewing workers in Tampa by the newly created Monster Brewing. They ponder whether Ballast Point, now brewed by Kings and Convicts, is making a comeback in the craft beer world. The episode also highlights the 2024 World Beer Cup winners, including local favorites like Goldwater Brewing, Pedal Haus, OHSO Brewing, and 12 West Brewing. Ed reads off other category winners. Finally, Ed poses the question of which event holds more prestige: GABF or the World Beer Cup, and floats the idea of hosting their own HCPC Beer Awards.

(NSFW) Join Ed, Chris, and Nate in this episode as Ed returns from Spain and shares his discoveries about the local craft beer scene—or the lack thereof. Ed recounts his visit to a single craft beer bar and a memorable drinking session with some Irish lads. The conversation shifts to Wisconsin, revealed as having the drunkest counties in the US, leading to a discussion about binge drinking and whether the hosts themselves are binge drinkers.
Nate surprises the guys with his newfound love for barrel-aged stouts from Wren House, despite the hefty price tags. And his history of hating on them. They also discuss an article from Hop Culture titled "2024 is the Year of the Dark Lager," reflecting on the popularity of Czech lagers last year and debating whether dark lagers will dominate the scene this year. The team lists some of the best dark lagers to try, making this episode a must-listen for beer enthusiasts!

(NSFW) Ed is still out of the country, backpacking around Europe.... we think. Though we're not sure what he's doing over there. I'm sure we'll get filled in on his beer escapades when he gets back. Until then Nate and I decided to sit down at his place and have some of the newer Wren House releases. We talk about some current news from the latest DDH Spellbinder and other varriation release party. The troubles that our friends at Ground Control are having, and a new brewery opening up in North Scottsdale called Pinnacle Brewing. Which is in a semi-industal looking area near the airport. So the beer is probably going to be good.

(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.

(NSFW) In this year's Craft Beer Awards season, Ed and Chris delve deep into the 2023 GABF results, celebrating the victories of Arizona's breweries. They shine a spotlight on the major categories and the skilled brewers who have risen to the top. However, as they navigate through the list, they can't help but notice the absence of certain beer styles. Chris laments the missing Sour Stout, while they share a light-hearted moment over the niche market of gluten-free beer. Despite the quirks, the focus remains on the local scene, with an exciting recap of the 2023 AZ Craft Beer Awards. Pedal Haus takes center stage as Brewery of the Year, and Ayla Kapahi from Broderlands Brewing receives the esteemed Directors Award for her outstanding contributions to the Las Hermanas Project.
Amid all the accolades and laughter, Ed and Chris also take a moment to reflect on the private awards event's evolution, showcasing how it has grown and transformed since the previous year. It's a testament to the ever-changing landscape of craft beer, made all the more enjoyable by your continuous support. We're grateful for your presence on this journey with Ed and Chris as they unravel these captivating stories. Thank you for being part of our craft beer community!

(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.

(NSFW) On this exhilarating installment of Road Sodas, your hosts Ed and Chris share the airwaves with the esteemed Patron Supporter, Zach D. With the recent unveiling of Phoenix Magazine's illustrious 2023 Best of Edition, our trio takes the plunge into the crème de la crème offerings nestled within the vibrant heart of Phoenix and its sprawling Valley. Ed kicks off the customary "predict the victors" game, met with Chris's valiant attempts to champion the wrong choices. Meanwhile, as the rumor mill swirls about the demise of Triple IPAs, they explore this curious narrative – a tale often propagated by those who find their hoppiness too potent. A puzzle presents itself as they endeavor to decipher the enigma of how Phoenix Magazine's crowned Best Beer may not align with the champion of the AZ Craft Beer Awards, even considering the magazine's sponsorship of the AZCBA.
