    The Replay Series: Human Robot, Philly Lagers & the Legendary Milk Tube

    What up, Brewsers! The Legendary Brew Crew is reaching back into the vault for another Brewsing Banter Replay Series! This time, we’re heading to Philly to hang out with Jake Atkinson, Co-Founder and Co-Owner of Human Robot Brewery, and getting the story behind one of the city’s most recognizable beer brands. Jake chops it up with the crew about how Human Robot got started, the story behind the brewery’s name, and how lagers became such a major part of the Human Robot identity. We also get into Jake’s own journey into the craft beer industry and what helped shape the brewery along the way. But you already know we couldn’t talk Human Robot without getting into one of the most legendary parts of the experience… Milk Tubes. And yes, the Legendary Brew Crew gets in on the action with a Milk Tube chug. 🍺 This episode features beers from Human Robot and plenty of Philly beer culture, stories, laughs, and banter along the way. Whether you remember this conversation or you’re discovering it for the first time, pull up a seat and revisit the taproom with us. Grab a Brew and Join the Banter!

    Craft Connections: Beer Education, Hospitality & the Future of Craft Beer

    What up, Brewsers! The Legendary Brew Crew is back, and this time we’re tapping into the world of beer education, hospitality, and the culture behind the pour with Rachel Benkowski and Allo Gilinsky, co-founders of Craft Connections: Beverage Education Summit. We crack open some brews and get into their journeys through the beer world, from gateway beers and Belgian yeast to advanced Cicerone education, archaeology, history, and the simple idea that beer brings people together. But the conversation goes way beyond what’s in the glass. We chop it up about why hospitality matters, what happens when your bartender doesn’t know the beer they’re serving, how better staff education can transform the taproom experience, and why beer deserves the same level of thought and appreciation we often give wine. Rachel and Allo also break down their vision for Craft Connections, an interactive beer education summit built around networking, sensory education, and staff training. Instead of another sit-and-listen conference, they’re creating a hands-on experience designed to give brewers, taproom teams, hospitality professionals, marketers, owners, and beer lovers knowledge they can actually take back with them. And of course, we get into the fun stuff: underrated beer styles, beer and food pairings, the history of beer, why “hoppy” doesn’t automatically mean “bitter,” and some seriously unexpected beer pairings. Grab a brew, pull up a chair, and join the banter as we explore why good beer is only part of the experience — the people, knowledge, and hospitality behind it matter too. Craft Connections: Beer Beverage Education Summit takes place February 16–18, 2027, in Tempe, Arizona. 🍻 What We’re Drinking: New Glarus Lotta Peach 2026 Fieldwork Brewing Grapefruit Blonde NA Abjuration Brewing Sour Era Blueberry Banana Peanut Butter Vanilla

We also get into the story behind the “Beery Godmother” name and the inspiration for her beer education series, Beer Fact Friday. Of course, we’re not just talking about beer. We’re drinking it too! This episode features brews from Dock Street Brewery, a Creature Comforts Brewing x Good Word Brewing collaboration, and a Human Robot x North Park Beer Co. collaboration. It’s beer education, good conversation, plenty of banter, and a reminder that there’s always something new to learn when you grab a brew. Grab a Brew and Join the Banter!

    Social Media Addiction, AI & the Changing Craft Beer Festival Scene

    The Legendary Brew Crew is back, and this episode goes exactly where you’d expect it to go: craft beer, social media addiction, AI, parenting, beer festivals, celebrity chaos, and a whole lot of unexpected rabbit holes. The crew kicks off the conversation with social media addiction and kids, including whether platforms are intentionally designed to keep users hooked, how much responsibility falls on parents, and how algorithms can turn one click into an endless doom-scrolling session. The crew also gets into AI and content moderation, the mental toll of moderating disturbing online content, and how technology continues to change the way we interact with social media. Then it’s back to the beer world as the guys talk about the changing craft beer festival scene, the growing presence of cocktails and spirits at traditionally beer-focused events, and what that shift could mean for breweries and drinking culture. And because this is Brewsing Banter, somehow the conversation still finds its way to movies, celebrities, Toy Story, Christmas music, ridiculous hypotheticals, and a hilariously difficult celebrity-guessing game. It’s beer as the catalyst and culture as the conversation. Tap in with the Legendary Brew Crew for another round of craft beer, culture, comedy, social commentary, and completely unnecessary debates, What We’re Drinking: Leinenkugel - Orange Shandy w/ Chica Chida Peanut Butter Tequila Human Robot - EIRINA - Japanese-Style Rice Lager Join the Crew on Patreon Brewsing Banter is proud to be an Async Ambassador!

    Hot Mic Sessions - Live at Attic Brewing's Beer Fest in the Beer Garden

    What up, Brewsers! The Legendary Brew Crew is taking Brewsing Banter Podcast out of the studio and into the beer garden for our new series Hot Mic Sessions! We’re posted up at Attic Brewing Company’s beer festival, surrounded by 14 breweries, craft beer, live music, and a whole lot of good vibes. We’re tasting our way through the festival, talking about our favorite beers, catching up with friends, and letting the conversation get as unpredictable as the night itself. From craft beer and brewery culture to karaoke debates, Luther Vandross, Jodeci, wedding season, tip jars, live music, and plenty of nonsense in between, this is the Brew Crew completely off the leash. We also catch up with Elliott Johnson of Soul Mega Brewing for some festival banter and brewery talk and, naturally, give him a hard time for constantly getting mistaken for an official member of the crew. This is Brewsing Banter at a beer festival: real conversations, great beer, live music, Black voices in craft beer, brewery culture, and the unfiltered personalities that make the Legendary Brew Crew who they are.

    Dogfish Head, Hip-Hop & the Art of Brewing Differently w/ Sam Calagione

    What up, Brewsers! The Legendary Brew Crew is back with a special one. We’re sitting down with Sam Calagione, co-founder of Dogfish Head Brewery, fresh off his induction into the Craft Beer Hall of Fame. Sam takes us back to the beginning—from discovering craft beer while working at a bar in New York to putting his English degree aside and writing the business plan that would become Dogfish Head. We talk about Dogfish Head, Delaware craft beer, brewing innovation, entrepreneurship, and the evolution of the craft beer industry. Sam also shares how his love of hip-hop and punk rock influenced his creative approach to brewing and why Dogfish Head has always embraced unconventional ingredients and ideas. But this conversation goes way beyond beer. We get into music, culture, collaboration, craft spirits, the challenges facing independent breweries, and what it takes to keep creativity alive while growing a major craft beer brand. And Sam has plenty of stories—including Dogfish Head’s legendary music collaborations and a potential Outkast connection that definitely caught our attention. So grab your favorite beer, pull up a chair, and tap in for a conversation about craft beer, creativity, music, entrepreneurship, and the Delaware brewery that refused to color inside the lines. This is Brewsing Banter Podcast.
