    Corey & Danielle Wood (Elixir Kombucha)

    After drinking all the Louisville Beer during Louisville Beer Week, the guys were incredibly excited to take a “booch’ break” this episode with the incredible duo that is Corey and Danielle Wood, owners and founders of Elixir Kombucha. We got the rundown on their recent growth into their new production home, the story of how Corey’s kombucha-loving aunt launched them on their journey, and got very up close and personal with a big chunk of actual SCOBY skin (stay tuned to the end for tasting notes…yeah), and even helped Elixir up its brand game with the selection of the new OFFICIAL Elixir mascot.  Featured Beverages: Mad Elf, Grand Cru – TRÖEGS Independent Brewing NKD LDY Non-Alcoholic Whiskey Curious about Underberg?

    We hope you’re hungry, folks, because this week’s guest, Russ Meredith, owner of The Beer Syrup Company, came packing a spread! Russ is famous around town for his delicious concoctions, all inspired and derived from his favorite beers. In this episode, he guides us through a multi-course meal - each dish incorporating his products in unique and delicious ways. In addition to getting stuffed, we also get the back story of Russ’ beginnings in the Farmer’s Market scene, how he developed his various products and brand, and his perspective on the Louisville beer scene from his long career in and around the craft beer industry.  If you’ve met Russ at community events, you might also know that he is famous for his choice of attire, so we also put him to the Pooh Pathology test to see what character from The Hundred Acre Wood best exemplifies his particular personality.

Pablo Gomez, Technical Account Manager, and Devin Tani, Technical Education Coordinator, join the show to tell us what got them into the wild world of yeast & share how White Labs has built and continues to grow a “culture” of quality and innovation. They also guide us through a very illuminating yeast-off side-by-side tasting and share the details on a few of their new products that continue to push the boundaries of brewing, at home and on an industrial scale.  We hope you enjoy this conversation as much as we did, and we can’t wait to pay them another visit.  PRO TIP: Eat their pizza & don’t sleep on the Kimchi fries.
