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.

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.

With a recent change in ownership, Fountain Square Brewery is hitting the refresh button on their branding. We sit down with their President Brad Smith and head brewer Mike Grap to discuss the rebranding, what fears accompany a rebranding, and what's on the horizon for the brewery. And don't worry, none of the beloved beers will be rebranded, but be on the lookout for a few surprises (barrel aged beer anyone?) in the near future!

On this episode we learn all about hop farming from Ross Sorensen and Nick Reutter, owners of Land Locked Hops in Loda, IL. It was an interesting conversation because they didn't hold back on the difficulties of starting a very small hop farm, 1/8th acre. They've since purchased an 80-plus acre plot of land to expand their hop yard up to 5 acres. We also learned how hard being 100 percent organic in hop farming is, whether a brewery makes good beer or not matters to them when selling their hops, and why they both love Comet hops so much.
During the show we sample several beers that Ross and Nick brought from Illinois. One included their hops and the other were beers from one of their favorite breweries.
Beers on the Show:
Monarch Brewing Company - Allerton Amber (Cascade hops from Land Locked Hops)
Marz Community Brewing - Cloudy Boyz NEIPA

Here it is, our first House of Beers episode! We started off with the king of Indiana house beers, Sun King Brewing Sunlight Cream Ale. With the rise of barrel aged, hazy, and fruited beers, we decided to take our listeners back to the roots of craft beer with a dive into the history of Sunlight.
Dustin then regales us with his tales from Boston, including trips to Trillium Brewing, Tree House Brewing, Aeronaut Brewing, Harpoon Brewing, Idle Hands Brewing, and Night Shift Brewing.
To wrap up the show, we discuss our trip to Monticello, IN which included a stop at Whyte Horse Winery and Kopacetic Beer Factory for their May the 4th Be With You event where we got to sample their new bottle release, Russian for Maple. Flat12 Bierwerks, Fountain Square Brewing, and Burn 'Em Brewing also made an appearance at the event.
Chance Hoover the Beermonger for Goose the Market was nice enough to imbibe with us this episode. We learned more about his journey from a server to a butcher to the beermonger, how a butcher shop created a go-to beer cellar, and sampled some of their best available libations.

We traveled to Whitestown, IN for the soft opening of Moontown Brewing Company, hosted by Indiana on Tap. In part one we chat with friends of the show Kevin and Kelsey Groover (OHHAP Podcast Hosts) and get their thoughts on the event and the beers. For part two we chat with Moontown's Bobby Mattingly (owner) and Cody Peczkowski (owner and head brewer) about going from homebrewing to owning and operating a brewery, Cody's previous commercial brewing experience, and what we can expect from them in the near future. We chat with Indiana on Tap Founder/CEO Justin Knepp in the final segment where we learn more about how the event came together.

It's our first official episode and Shawn Kessel, shift brewer for Taxman Brewing Company, was nice enough to be our first guest. His journey into the craft beer world started with homebrewing. That passion led him to working with the top homebrewing store in Indiana, Great Fermentations. Thanks to a chance encounter while working at the homebrew shop, Kessel became the head brewer for Grand Junction Brewing, a startup brewing in Westfield, IN at the time. His time at Grand Junction ended not as he would have liked, but it ultimately led to his employment with Taxman Brewing and he says he couldn't be happier.
