ABV Chicago Craft Beer Podcast

I have been a long time listener to this podcast. It has turned me on the countless beers and breweries. Ryan and Craig work well together and provide great reviews of both local and national beers. I enjoy the games and have also recently backed them on Patreon. Search out the torture test episodes too.

I’ve been listening to Ryan and Craig for a few years now, and they are my go-to source for beer recommendations in Chicagoland and beyond. I can always count on them to not hold anything back and to give great advice. They were way ahead of the curve on awesome breweries like Hop Butcher, Afterthought, and Dovetail. And they are a blast to listen to, making my commute much more tolerable. I still can’t believe they’ve been recording remotely during the whole pandemic, the audio quality is always amazing. Congrats on 400 episodes, and here’s to 400 more!

Always entertaining and covers a wide range of beer styles, themes and blind tastings. Also appreciate the monthly cultured butter reviews. Craig and Ryan are great guys to virtually drink some beer with during these Covid times.

Entertaining weekly podcast going over a variety of different styles and subjects in the world of beer with more emphasis on the vibrant Chicago beer scene. I’ve listened for about a year now and doing so has introduced me to local breweries in Chicago and parts of the Midwest that I didn’t know even existed. Craig and Ryan continue to make it interesting with their wit and banter as well as the games and end of show beer ratings. A fun listen every week.
