    Talkin bout the weather, Bad Weather w/ Andy Ruhland

    On this episode we are joined by Andy Ruhland (@ruhbrewer) of Bad Weather Brewing (@badweatherbrew) in St. Paul, MN.

    We learn some new vocabulary, Aaron plays the role of JT with a dysfunctional nose, and JT shows up late without the beer. We really crushed this one.

    Hanging a new shingle? w/ Joe Ploof of Hanging Hills

    Hanging a new shingle? w/ Joe Ploof of Hanging Hills

    Joe Ploof of Hanging Hills is back for the 3rd time. I don't know why he subjects himself to this punishment but we sure appreciate it!



    We talk about all about what's new with Hanging Hills, some random beer stuff, and find out which cities have the most breweries per capita in the US.



    Also, if you don't like Tim this is your episode. Our West Coast Correspondent Anyaa sat in for him.

    Juice Force w/ New Belgium R&D

    Juice Force w/ New Belgium R&D

    Hey were back with Matt Gilliland (@mattysmooth) as he makes a poor decision to become a two-timer on the podcast and he drug his co-worker Cody Reif (@reifstyle).



    We talk about the formula change on Fat Tire and show off how good we are at our beer tasting segment of the podcast while trying Juice Force. It helps that JT wasn't on this episode and Anyaa Carter subbed in giving real credibility to us.

    Mostly Random Stuff w/ Ryan Nanni

    Mostly Random Stuff w/ Ryan Nanni

    Hey everyone! This is the first one in a long time that we've done that does not involved an industry guest.

    Ryan Nanny (@celebrityhottub) and co-host of the Shutdown Fullcast, the worlds only college football podcast, joins us to talk about almost everything but beer. So if you're only here for beer this isn't your episode. If you're here for shenanigans then you're in the right place.

    We are also joined by our favorite West Coast Correspondent Anyaa for this episode.  

    Thanks again to our sponsors Revelton Distilling Co and Kyle Lehman of Wintrust Mortgage.

    We are joined on the pod by John Carruthers of Revolution Brewing in Chicago.

Great episodes

Love the episodes and the interactions of the hosts. JT seems to be the most knowledgeable of the guys and really uplifts the other two!

They Good

Aaron is the most bearable unbearable person in podcasting. Tim's more than ok. They have better guests than most. They don't deserve your listen but you should still listen to them. Is this good?

Great Podcast for Beer Fans of All Types

Whether you’re new to beer, a casual fan, or an expert, Bitter Units is a fun podcast that delves into both beer and the surrounding industry. The guys don’t take themselves too seriously, and it’s not pretentious at all.
