NA's and Altstadt

This is the episode I've been wanting to do for several years and it was well worth the wait! We were joined by Amy Oxenham of Brick Vault Brewery and Barbecue and desert renaissance man Tony Drewry. Stories of west Texas magic were shared, the beans in chili topic was fiercely debated(ok maybe not fiercely) and Tony shared his secret thumb technique for shotgunning beers.

We are joined with Jacob Baker of Saint Arnold Brewing Co and we discuss their new lager, Grand Prize. Also, have you ever paired a super hero or villain with a style of beer? Jacob, Ronnie and Leo battle it out to give each character the right pairing. Cheers!

We're joined once again by legendary H-Town beer dude, Hugh Hait and we share several delicious NA beers. Also, we have a fantastic interview with Craig Rowan, head/master brewer of Altstadt brewery in Fredericksburg. Enjoy our longest episode ever!!!!!!

In this episode, Leo talks about not having a new episode in a full year. He forgot about the great episode he put up during the summer with Huggy Bear from Holler Brewing. Leo and his good buddy Ronnie also discuss the upcoming chili cookoff at the Cove in Kingwood, the Schwarzenegger pregnancy and craft beer challenges.

This week we got to hang out with our good friends Louie and Oscar from Turkey Forrest Brewing! We discuss their first year challenges and victories while sipping on some great beers. We also discuss our collaboration beer, Check Yourself Oatmeal Stout, to help raise awareness for mental health. During the holidays, we often put a lot of pressure on ourselves to buy gifts and spend more money than we should. This can lead to depression, anxiety and other mental health issues.  If you are struggling with any kind of mental health issues, it is ok to reach out to someone and just tell them what's going on. Sharing your struggles with a trusted friend can be a huge help. Thanks for listening to the show! Cheers!

In this week's episode we visit with good friends and occasional "adversaries", Skyler and Rudy from Galveston Bay Brewing. Opened in 2014 with Skyler as the only employee, they have grown to be one of the premier breweries on the Texas gulf coast with a brand new production and taproom facility opening soon in Clear Lake Shores. Award winning beers like Captains Coffee Stout and Bull Shark Scotch Ale are great year round beers and their taproom exclusive beers like Cactus King Mexican Lager demand a visit to try them. They also have Firkin Friday once a month with even more exclusive and very limited beer to try.
