    Pagers, Blockbuster & Beer: A 90s Throwback You Didn’t Know You Needed

    What do pagers, Blockbuster nights, yacht rock, and craft beer have in common? Absolutely nothing… and somehow EVERYTHING on this episode of Brewsing Banter Podcast. The Legendary Brew Crew is back with another hilarious, unfiltered conversation—kicking things off with bold craft beer picks, including a barrel-aged 14% brew, a crisp rice lager, and a spotlight on Black-owned brewing excellence. But as always, the drinks are just the beginning. This episode quickly turns into a nostalgic deep dive into 90s culture, where the crew debates music history, breaks down the origins of “yacht rock,” and hilariously realizes how much they don’t know about certain legends like the Grateful Dead. From there, it’s pure throwback energy: Recording songs off the radio and dodging commercialsPager codes like “143” and early messaging cultureNextel chirps and walkie-talkie etiquetteThe rise and fall of Blockbuster VideoMapQuest directions and getting lost before GPSIt’s funny, relatable, and packed with moments that’ll have you saying, “Yo… I remember that.” If you love craft beer, real conversations, and nostalgia with zero filter—this episode is for you. Grab a drink, pull up a chair, and join the conversation. What We’re Drinking The Brew Crew pulled up with a lineup that definitely set the tone for the night: A barrel-aged barleywine-style lager from Elder Pine Brewing and Blending → Clocking in at a heavy 14% ABV, aged in oak and bourbon/porter barrels—this one hit more like straight liquor than beer. Smooth, bold, and not for the faint of heart.The Viking Queen Hard Seltzer from Black Viking Brewing → A refreshing 5% seltzer infused with rosewater and strawberries. Light, crisp, and a perfect contrast to the heavier pours—plus, always showing love to Black-owned breweries.The Grateful Dead Citrus Daydream Lager from Dogfish Head Craft Brewery → A 5.3% rice lager brewed with fonio, lemongrass, and lemon peel. Easy-drinking, flavorful, and definitely in that “pass me another” category.Want exclusive content, behind-the-scenes drops, and bonus episodes?

    50 Cent vs T.I.? | NAACP Awards Recap & Black History Reflections

    This week the Legendary Brew Crew are back in the virtual taproom breaking down culture, hip-hop, and headlines, all while sampling standout craft beers. We kick things off reflecting on the 100th year of Black History Month and highlights from the NAACP Image Awards, then get into the Hollywood convo around the Screen Actors Guild Awards and who shows up for which rooms. Hip-hop takes center stage as we debate a potential 50 Cent vs T.I. Verzuz battle — catalog vs impact, South vs New York, and whether anybody really “loses” a Verzuz. We also touch on the Harris family lyrical responses, producer battles, and what makes a great music showdown in today’s streaming era. As always, expect unfiltered commentary, sharp humor, and real conversations at the intersection of craft beer, hip-hop culture, entertainment news, and current events. Grab a drink. Pull up a chair. The brew is the fuel. What We Drinking: Philly’s First Anniversary Ale (4.8%) – Victory Brewing Company. Reifen Hopf Sechs (3.9%) - Human Robot

    BBP 315 - Gypsum Love Brewing

    This week in the virtual taproom, the Legendary Brew Crew link up with Darius and Travis of Gypsum Love Brewing — two friends shaking up the Delaware beer scene with science, soul, and straight-up grit. In this episode we tap into what really matters, the two entrepreneurs went from dollar beer nights and Heinekens in hand to building a brewery from scratch. Darius breaks down how a STEM brain, failed first batches, and a ChatGPT-assisted brew system turned into a serious operation. Travis keeps it real about banking by day, beer dreams by night, and being the “let’s go” energy when things could’ve stalled. We get the origin story behind the name Gypsum Love, the personal book that inspired it, and how gypsum (yes, the mineral) became part of the brand DNA. And listen, when they talk about their Black IPA “Say It Loud” selling out in 30 minutes? That’s not hype. That’s movement. We talk flagship beers, hazy vs. West Coast debates, hip-hop influence in branding, opening in Newport, Delaware, and what it really takes to build something meaningful in craft beer as Black founders. This episode is about ownership. About perseverance. About turning experiments into excellence. Grab a drink. Pull up a chair. What We Drinking On? Resurrection - Dubbel (7% ABV) - The Brewer’s Art Double IPA (8%) - Threat Beer Company Bake Club - Coconut Custard Pie Pastry Stout (12% ABV) - Dewey Beer Company Old Friends - Dubai-Style Chocolate Stout - (12.9% ABV) First State Brewing

    BBP 314 - Brewing Beer & Writing Punchlines with Maalik Stark of Zero Day Brewing

    This week, the Legendary Brew Crew taps in with Maalik Stark, head brewer at Zero Day Brewing and certified stout lover, for a wide-ranging conversation that starts with what’s in the glass and spirals exactly where you expect. From black lagers that drink like stouts and hazy IPAs brewed with fancy mangoes we couldn’t identify, to the reality of learning on the brew deck the hard way, Malik breaks down his path from homebrewing experiments to running a ten-barrel system in central PA. We get into favorite styles, gateway beers, brewing mistakes you only make once, why cleaning is the real job, and what nobody tells you about being a head brewer until you’re already in it. Add in tequila-barrel goses, rye whiskey dreams, Harrisburg beer culture, and the eternal question of drinking stouts in the summer, and you’ve got a classic Brewsing Banter episode that’s equal parts beer education and barstool chaos. Did we mention that Maalik is also a stand up comedian? What Were Drinking: When Did We Get A Dog? - Hefeweizen (ABV4.5%) - Zero Day Brewing Rhythm & Beauty - Black Lager (ABV 6%) - Soul Mega Citrus Cult - IPA - New England / Hazy (ABV 8%) - Dewey Beer Company collab with DSSLVR.

    JAN 27

    BBP 313 - Seven Year High

    Seven years in, and we’re still here, still loud, and still arguing about nonsense like it’s a sport. The Legendary Brew Crew celebrates Year 7 snowed in, with drinks in hand, questionable takes on dry January, non alcoholic Guinness, real beer opinions, and the eternal debate nobody can solve: can men drink martinis out of martini glasses? From polar vortex madness and liquor store sales spikes, to brunch culture conspiracies, masculinity myths, and why Brewsing Brunch might be the next movement, this episode is pure, unfiltered Banter. We show love to Black owned breweries, roast the weather, spiral into TV talk, and remind you exactly why Brewsing Banter has survived seven years without changing who we are. Pull up, pour something, and run it back with us, because Year 7 isn’t a victory lap, it’s a statement. What We Drinking: Guinness - Non-Alcoholic Draught
