    BBP 314 - Brewing Beer & Writing Punchlines with Maalik Stark of Zero Day Brewing

    This week, the Legendary Brew Crew taps in with Maalik Stark, head brewer at Zero Day Brewing and certified stout lover, for a wide-ranging conversation that starts with what’s in the glass and spirals exactly where you expect. From black lagers that drink like stouts and hazy IPAs brewed with fancy mangoes we couldn’t identify, to the reality of learning on the brew deck the hard way, Malik breaks down his path from homebrewing experiments to running a ten-barrel system in central PA. We get into favorite styles, gateway beers, brewing mistakes you only make once, why cleaning is the real job, and what nobody tells you about being a head brewer until you’re already in it. Add in tequila-barrel goses, rye whiskey dreams, Harrisburg beer culture, and the eternal question of drinking stouts in the summer, and you’ve got a classic Brewsing Banter episode that’s equal parts beer education and barstool chaos. Did we mention that Maalik is also a stand up comedian? What Were Drinking: When Did We Get A Dog? - Hefeweizen (ABV4.5%) - Zero Day Brewing Rhythm & Beauty - Black Lager (ABV 6%) - Soul Mega Citrus Cult - IPA - New England / Hazy (ABV 8%) - Dewey Beer Company collab with DSSLVR.

    BBP 313 - Seven Year High

    Seven years in, and we’re still here, still loud, and still arguing about nonsense like it’s a sport. The Legendary Brew Crew celebrates Year 7 snowed in, with drinks in hand, questionable takes on dry January, non alcoholic Guinness, real beer opinions, and the eternal debate nobody can solve: can men drink martinis out of martini glasses? From polar vortex madness and liquor store sales spikes, to brunch culture conspiracies, masculinity myths, and why Brewsing Brunch might be the next movement, this episode is pure, unfiltered Banter. We show love to Black owned breweries, roast the weather, spiral into TV talk, and remind you exactly why Brewsing Banter has survived seven years without changing who we are. Pull up, pour something, and run it back with us, because Year 7 isn’t a victory lap, it’s a statement. What We Drinking: Guinness - Non-Alcoholic Draught

    BBP 312 - A Handshake Between Cultures

    This week the Legendary Brew Crew pull up a chair with Shahin Khojastehzad, founder of Handshake Persian Digestif, for a wide-ranging conversation that goes far beyond what’s in the glass. From growing up Iranian in Maine to cutting his teeth in the beer world, Shahin breaks down how flavor, culture, and identity collide in his work, and why bitters and digestifs exist in nearly every culture on the planet, even if we don’t always call them that. We talk Persian blue salt lagers, ethical sourcing, high ABV beers, non alcoholic options, and why some flavors are meant to support the whole experience rather than steal the spotlight. Shahin shares how Handshake came to life as a literal and figurative meeting point between Iran, Maine, and the many communities that shaped him along the way. It’s a conversation about beer, yes, but also immigration, representation, foodways, travel, and building something meaningful without cutting corners. Grab a drink, settle in, and tap in for an episode that reminds you why culture matters just as much as what’s in your glass. What We Drinking: Persian Lager (ABV 4.9%) - Back Home Beer Broken Heels Hazy IPA (NA) - New Trail Brewing

  4. BBP 311 - Non-Alcoholic Beer, Fully Alcoholic Opinions

    13 JANV.

    BBP 311 - Non-Alcoholic Beer, Fully Alcoholic Opinions

    This week the Legendary Brew Crew kicks it the only way we know how, cracking drinks (or not 👀), talking culture, and letting the conversation go wherever it wants to go. We start with what’s in (and not in) our glasses, including a spotlight on Black-owned breweries like Liquid Intrusion and Soul Mega, plus a real conversation around non-alcoholic beer, Dry January, and the sober-curious movement. Is NA beer the future—or just a phase? We debate it. From there, things take a sharp left into TV and pop culture. We unpack the return of Malcolm in the Middle, discuss whether reboots actually work, and revisit classics like A Different World—including who aged gracefully and who might need to log off Google Images. The conversation heats up with a candid (and hilarious) breakdown of Tyler Perry’s empire—from Madea’s eternal presence to the hustle behind the brand. Love it or hate it, we give credit where it’s due. We wrap things up with what we’re watching right now, including early reactions to His & Hers, binge-watching Stranger Things, and why some shows just hit harder when you don’t wait eight years between seasons. As always, it’s unfiltered, opinionated, and full of laughs—beer talk, culture talk, and everything in between. Pull up a chair and tap in. What We’re Drinking: Bero - Noon Wheat – Tom Holland’s non-alcoholic wheat beer (Dry January–friendly)

    6 JANV.

    BBP 310 - The Rocket & the Brew: Dry January, Vegas Vows & Wild Tangents

    The Legendary Brew Crew is BACK for the New Year, and things go exactly how you’d expect—off the rails in the best way possible. Rob kicks off 2026 embracing Dry January with a non-alcoholic hazy IPA, sparking a hilarious and surprisingly thoughtful debate about sober-curious culture, social drinking, and whether you really need alcohol to enjoy beer culture. From NA brews to brewery survival tips, the crew breaks down how to still support local breweries during the toughest months of the year—merch, gift cards, stouts you can cellar, and just showing up. The conversation takes a sharp (and funny) left turn into language, censorship, and modern euphemisms, touching on how social media filters shape the way we talk—and joke—online. Then Rob drops the big update: a Vegas vow renewal to celebrate 15 years of marriage, complete with rain on New Year’s Eve (the first time in decades), Bellagio fireworks, and reflections on time, family, and watching your kids grow up faster than expected. As always, the crew spirals into classic Brewsing Banter chaos—LCR tournament ideas, Vegas beer trips, movie talk (from Wicked to Marty Supreme), Stranger Things nostalgia, and the kind of unfiltered laughs you can only get when friends catch up after a long break. It’s the perfect New Year reset: real talk, wild jokes, beer culture insight, and pure Brew Crew energy. Grab a drink (or a tea), pull up a chair, and kick off 2026 with us. What We Drinking? Sam Adams (NA) - Just the Haze

    BBP 309 - Building More Than a Brewery: The Story of Hennessy Creek

    This episode to close out the year took place back in September as we went live on Instagram and YouTube and cracked open something special with the team behind Hennessy Creek, the first Black-owned farm brewery in Maryland. We chat with Drs. Tracy & Vaughn Wallace and head brewer Leon Harris to talk legacy, land, and the leap of faith it takes to turn a dream into a brewery rooted in community. From the grind of building a farm brewery, to honoring family history, to creating a space where culture, craft beer, and connection can coexist. We get real about the wins, the setbacks, and the purpose behind the pour. If you love stories about passion, ownership, and changing the landscape of craft beer, this episode is one you don’t want to miss. Grab a glass and tap in.

    BBP 308 - Dewey & Friends with Harrison Albert

    On this episode the Legendary Brew Crew links up with the homie Harrison Albert, Creative Director of Dewey Beer Co. (USA Today’s #1 Brewpub in America), for a full-pour conversation that’s equal parts beer geekery, art school chaos, and straight-up hilarity. Harrison takes us inside the world of Dewey and gives insight on how he went from art school to becoming apart of the creative brain trust behind Dewey’s iconic labels, merch, and events. We also talk beer programs, the beer that first hooked him into craft, and even get a sneak peek at the upcoming Dewey & Friends Beer Festival, taking place in Dewey Beach, DE on January 31, 2026. And of course, in true Brewsing Banter fashion, things go off the rails: birthday antics, dogs crashing the interview, debates about sweet potatoes vs. grapes (??), and whether Rob is legally allowed to get tattooed during a beer fest. It’s craft beer, culture, comedy, and community, all in one pour. Crack a can, pull up a chair, and enjoy the banter.
