Between The Pints

This week, Ryan and Aaron cover the latest news and happenings in the craft beer industry, despite both running on virtually zero sleep and with zero energy. Oddly enough, this actually makes for some of the most interesting and eclectic commentary yet! On this episode they cover beer and cider rationing in the UK, the impact of beverages containing THC on the craft beer industry, a South Carolina brewery looking to expand west even while trying to sell their business, and so much more! --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/between-the-pints/support

In this week’s episode, Aaron and Ryan start a new interview feature called Session Beers. The first Session Beer guest is Joe Vogelbacher from Sugar Creek Brewing. He is the co-founder and President of Sugar Creek and an Advanced Cicerone. He is also going to be featured in a documentary about craft beer and the Cicerone program. In the interview you will find out about the Sugar Creek, the Cicerone program, the documentary and much more. Joe may be the most interesting man in Charlotte craft beer. The guys would again like to thank Joe and the rest of the crew at Sugar Creek for coming on and bringing beer samples. For future guests, we like swag, but beer samples are more then adequate. The guys would also like to thank Hygge Co-Working for the use of the podcast space and Blank Kytt for the use of the opening and closing music this week. Check them and a lot of other great artists out on the Free Music Archive. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/between-the-pints/support

Aaron and Ryan debut their new show, Uncapped. They will deep dive into a single beer or beery subject or interview with a beer person. This week, they go into the Shaun Hill interview from a few weeks ago in which he discussed his own battles with mental health issues and fears of alcohol addiction. He talked about a lot more, but that is what everyone is mentioning. The two also give recommendations and generally digress at the drop of a pop culture reference. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/between-the-pints/support

In this week’s episode Ryan and Aaron start playing with the format. You spoke. We listened. In an attempt to get the episodes down to a more listenable time frame we’ve broken the recording into to 2 episodes. No worries, there is the same silliness and pop culture digressions. This is the Brew News episode where the guys cover a lot of the big beer news of the week. The next episode, Uncapped will be a deeper dive into one particular topic. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/between-the-pints/support

On this week’s episode Ryan and Aaron vamp because no one likes us enough to come on at the last minute.  Actually, the guest just postponed to next week.

We had to postpone the interview with L.A. from Black Star Line Brewing due to car issues, but look forward to having her on at another time.

Aaron and Ryan welcome in Travis Tolson from Amor Artis Brewing out of Fort Mill, SC. The show gets off to a rough start. Aaron and Ryan both had long weeks at their day jobs, but despite not being professionals make a great recovery for a really good conversation with Travis. This turns out to be one of our favorite interviews so far. Travis has such a deep love of brewing and the community he lives in that it comes through everything he says and does, especially the beer. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/between-the-pints/support

This week, Andy Maben discusses brewing the Lemon Balm and Beet Hoppy Wheat Ale that won gold for New Sarum Brewing at this past year’s Great American Beer Festival as well as his and his brewing team’s reaction to winning.  He also touches on the challenges of being a brewery that sits between 2 major population centers (Charlotte and the Triad).  Ryan and Aaron also sample some of Andy’s handy work and forget they are on the microphones. Between The Pints would again like to thank Andy for joining us this week.  We would also like to thank Hygge Coworking West for the use of the podcast studio.  Finally, thank you to Ryan Little for the use of his song kick.push as our opening and closing music.
