What we talked about: Superfan Greg McQueary joined us for our annual Pumpkin beer episode. Since he is the only person we know that loves pumpkin unconditionally, we brought him back to sample this year's good. As we downed seven Pumpkin beers, we discussed the opening of BrewDog Indy, the beer's we've been drinking, and plenty of other meaningful things!

We sample beers that Dustin picked up on clearance (I'm sure you can guess how they taste). We also drink the greatest beverage known to mankind. Then there is a discussion on aluminum cups and we Randall a white stout (not white, though) with Oreos.

WE ARE BACK! The 2.5-month hiatus has come to an end and we come in HOT. Two full hours of us talking about our summer, hating on the sale of New Day Craft, testing out the Dogfish Head Randall Jr., and drinking lots of NEIPAs from Indiana City Brewing, Bearded Iris, and Southern Grist. No guests, just the two of us talking beer and life.

Guest: Sean Manahan, Kopacetic Beer Factory

Our loyal sponsor Sean Manahan, owner and head brewer of Kopacetic Beer Factory, finally came back on the show, this time to educate us on what he does at Kopacetic. We drank beers from all over, found out how many bars Kopacetic beat out for Best Bar in Monticello, and learned more about Sean’s eclectic brewing ways.

We managed to talk brewer Corey Patterson to join us for the third time (first time on Barrel Chat). If you don't know, Corey is the head brewer at Brokerage Brewing (NOT BACKSTEP, MATT!) in West Lafayette, IN. During the conversation we learn why he didn't get the same job at Evil Czech Brewing, what's different at Brokerage vs Evil Czech, his brewing style, and sample two of his best lagers.

Guests: Kevin Boyd (West Fork Whiskey) & Damon Banks (Dustin's Friend)

We posted the invitation to join us and we had two people RSVP. As usual, Kevin Boyd brought the best of the best beers and West Fork Whiskey’s newest product Old Hamer. Damon picked a hell of a show to jump in on. We assume his mind and palate were blown by the beers and spirits we sampled. It’s two-hours of fun nonsense, exactly as we planned it.
