The livestream is now also a podcast!
Join Jason, Jordan, and Brian as they talk homebrewing with professionals across the Michigan craft beer industry (and sometimes a little out of state!)
The show has a heavy emphasis on homebrewing and brewing beer/mead/cider/seltzer in general. We're passionate about the hobby of homebrewing and want everyone to be as successful as they can be.
We started this show during quarantine in attempt to satiate our desire to talk about brewing with people while club meetings all went to virtual or were cancelled all together.
Sometimes we stray off topic, sometimes the audio isn't great, sometimes we drink a little too much... But it's what we like to do in real life and so we decided to just do it live instead and see if anyone wanted to join in, which people have!
Podcasts will appear within 48 hours of our live show ending.
Catch our live shows most Mondays at 7:30pm EST. We stream to Youtube, Facebook, and Twitch!

Episode 105 - Recipe Design, Lemon Mead Edition
Jason wants to make a mead, maybe one with lemons. He really has no clue what he's doing, so we are going to discuss and design a mead recipe with some folks that can help. Hang out and have a brew with us as we talk through the mead making process. Whatever we come up with, Jason is going to take away and brew!

Episode 104 - Tasting King MF Kölsch!
Way back in the dark days of episode 101 we individually ran the Keepers of Craft beer generator to come up with 3 unique(ish) recipes. Deciding to go for what amounted to be an Imperial Kölsch-style beer, we then drafted a recipe for it, brewed it, and now we're drinking it tonight!
Join us to hear how the beer turned out, future plans for it, and general show talk.
