Beers with Nigel Fredcasts

Summer is here, folks. Do you have your vacation tuxedo purchased yet? If not, our guest has you covered. Meet, Lyndsey Fliehs, Nigel's new neighbor and all-around purveyor of party attire and general awesomeness. Lyndsey is the owner of Team Cocktail, a drinking company with a clothing problem. Nick rolled the recording gear down to "Nigel's Alley" for some outdoor patio time to hear the story of how a simple cruise changed their lives forever and sparked her journey into the world of party gear. Also, pickles continue to be evil.

Listen, don't sit there act like you're above taking a selfie with your friend or SO while grabbing some tasty craft beers. There's no selfie-shame in this game. Keith Adams, from @beerselfie on Instagram and beerselfie.com, joins Nigel and Nick from Chico, California to tell his brilliant idea to build community by collecting and posting selfies with beer. It's brilliant, we say! Two things you really need to take from this conversation: 1, if anyone met their SO through Beer Selfie and are getting hitched, Nick and Nigel are here to officiate your dream beer wedding; and 2, if you ain't submitting your beer selfies, you just ain't doing it right!

Holy beer and barbecue, Batman! Nigel and Nick are still a little shook up from the amazing week of beer, barbecue and beer family in Kansas City. Partnering with Annie and the gang at Vine Street Brewing, the show brought in the filmmakers and much of the cast from the One Pint at a Time documentary for a Kansas City screening and craft beer party like our midwest metro hasn't seen in a while. Act 113 is from the live show on the Vine Street patio. Big thank you to all our KC friends for helping show off this incredible city. And we can't thank our friends One Pint and Barrel & Flow friends for taking the time to visit KC and help us party.

Act 112 and Nigel and Nick are back on the road. This week the dynamic duo of beer head to North Kansas City and the spacious home of Callsign Brewing. Air Force veteran Steve Sirois shares the touching origin story of his brewery and how each beer honors service members who made the ultimate sacrifice. The brewery and a soon-to-be launched podcast also focus on raising funds to support efforts to help service-members returning home and suffering from PTSD. Vine Street Brewing co-owner and general badass Annie McGinnis joins the show to promote this weekend's One Pint at Time event collab with Beers with Nigel. Get your tickets at bit.ly/OnePint.

Kemet Coleman's passion is music. First, and always, he says he's a rapper and a musician. But on this episode of the podcast we learn the long-time Kansas City entertainer is so much more than that. Kemet joins Nigel and Nick (and Katie, too!) in The Vault for a conversation about his role as co-owner of Vine Street Brewing and how everything always comes back to music. Oh, and he also plays Prague Rock?

Barley and Vine isn't really right there by that Platte City water tower. But the self-proclaimed bougie brewery and wine store is nestled in the heart of historic downtown Platte City and neither beers nor the conversation disappointed in this early-March road trip. Head brewer Billy Campbell joined an elite group of guests providing his own Mystery Beers while sharing his story of going from home brewer to pro and helping to open this new space on the north end of the Kansas City metro area. What did we get out of this episode? The start of a new competition between Barley and Vine and Nigel's brewery/taproom, Transparent Brewing over who makes the best beermosas. Stay tuned for what we're sure will be a Thunderdome-worthy battle of the bougie beer beverages.
