The Great British Brew Off

In this special competition edition, seven homebrewers square off to see who can brew the best British-style beer, as judged by professional brewers Angelo Signorino of Barley's and Ryan Torres of Brew Brothers. 

Theakston's Old Peculier

Old Peculier is possibly one of Britain’s most well-known and loved ales. The name pays tribute to the unique ecclesiastical status of Masham as a ‘Court of the Peculier’ and is also a reference to the strong characteristic of the beer! For many years it was affectionately referred to as Yorkshire’s ‘Lunatic’s Broth’.

Abbey Ales in America

Quinn Bartlett, formerly of Belgian focused Buzzsaw Brewing and now at Hoster's Brewing, joins us to talk about brewing Belgian-style beers. Along the way we try some new offerings from Ommegang and revisit an old classic from North Coast Brewing, while discussing the challenges of selling these beers in the American market. 

CBC's Bodhi

Bodhi sets the bar for Double IPAs as one of the most sought-after brands in Ohio. It’s a combination of a big, bold ABV that drinks smoother than most classic IPAs. The bold fruit character adds dimension and makes this a staple in the Ohio craft community and truly a beer worth drinking.

Breakfast Stouts with Nick

If Columbus's own food writer Nick Dekker (Breakfast with Nick) asks why haven't you done a breakfast stout show with him yet, all you can reply is what are you doing Saturday morning? From there good times ensue as we explore breakfast stouts and donut pairings al a Founders, Jolly Pumpkin, Maumee Bay, and Buckeye Donuts.

Żywiec Porter

Rich in color, flavor and tradition, this strong Polish beer has been brewed according to the traditional recipe from 1881, with the Munich malt and special malts for caramel and color plus the highest quality aromatic hops. Everything together creates a unique combination of taste. Head up to Weiland's to grab one and join us for a beer worth drinking.

50th Episode Collaboration AMP English IPA

To celebrate our 50th podcast we hosted a party at Brewcadia loacated upstairs from Barley's Brewing Company downtown. We invited everyone who has been a guest on the show in the past 8 year run of the show for the tapping of a cask of our collaborative brew, called AMP IPA. This collaborative beer was created along with brewmaster Angelo Signorino at Barley's Brewing Co. 

Utopias

We are joined by beer writer Bill Babbitt who popped by the studio to share a Sam Addams Utopias, a boundary bending, barrel-aged beer that blurs the line between beer and fine spirit. At 28% ABV, it’s definitely a beer worth sharing. Its reputation puts it on every beer drinker’s bucket-list and we are indebted to Bill for sharing it!

La Fin du Monde

In tribute to Quebec, Unibroue named this fantastic Tripel after the land encountered by 16th-century French explorers who thought they’d reached the end of the world. To date, it has won 55 medals and honors from top international competitions, including 13 platinum distinctions and 29 golds at prestigious events such as the Chicago Beverage Testing Institute's World Beer Championships and the World Beer Awards. La Fin du Monde is definitely a beer worth drinking!

All Things Pizza

Do you believe in Columbus style pizza? Jim Ellison, author of Columbus Pizza: A Slice of History and founder of the city's first pizza tour sure does! Jim joins as our guest this episode and chronicles one of the city's favorite foods. Also along for the ride is Columbus craft brewing pioneer Lenny Kolada who takes no back seat when it comes to pairing pizza with beer.
