    AI, Hip-Hop & Cold Beers: The Legendary Brew Crew Is Back

    The Brew Crew is back, and the break clearly didn't make them any less opinionated. In this episode, Rob G, 302Yoda, and Lew Belgium reunite over a few great pours to catch up on everything they've missed, from new beers and hard teas to AI, creativity, and whether technology is helping or hurting creators. The conversation takes its usual unexpected turns as the crew debates Drake's latest releases, the evolution of mixtapes, what separates rap from hip-hop, and why living through a moment matters when telling the culture's story. They also recap highlights from Essence Festival, celebrate Black voices making an impact in craft beer, revisit Jay-Z's Reasonable Doubt 30th anniversary celebration, and, of course, spend plenty of time clowning Yoda for suddenly becoming "well-read." It's the perfect mix of craft beer, Black culture, music, and unfiltered conversation. The kind you'd have with friends over a cold drink. Grab your favorite brew, pull up a chair, and join the banter. What We Drinking? This week, the Brew Crew is pouring up a little bit of everything. Corona - Sunbrew Citrus Cerveza A limited-release citrus cerveza that's bright, refreshing, and packed with orange flavor. Think summer vibes in a bottle. It earns a Pass Me Another from Lew. Mack Brewing – Mango Madness Hard Tea (8% ABV) Mack Brewing switches things up with a smooth mango hard tea brewed with green and black tea. Sweet, flavorful, and surprisingly easy to sip for an 8% pour. Earns a Pass Me Another from Rob.

    Good Beer Isn’t Enough Anymore

    This week the Legendary Brew Crew are fresh off the chaos, camaraderie, and craft excellence of the Craft Beer Conference in Philly, and yeah… we’re still recovering We kick things off the only way we know how: What We Drinking Today, featuring everything from an easy-sipping American pale ale with real cultural roots to a wild, lavender-colored sour that had us questioning reality (and lactose tolerance). From there, we get into the real meat of the trip: The biggest takeaway from CBC? Beer alone ain’t enough anymore.We break down the concept of “unreasonable hospitality” and why the breweries that win long-term are the ones creating experiences, not just pouring pints.And of course, we debate it the only way we can: what matters more, the product or the experience? (yeah… it gets spicy)We also tap into: The culture shifts happening in craft beer (who’s in the room… and who still isn’t )Standout breweries and award winners putting the region on the mapBehind-the-scenes moments, side quests, and why spots like Reading Terminal hit just as hard as the expo floorPlus the randomness you expect from us—sports talk, food debates, and somehow ending up on milk discourseAt its core, this episode is about where craft beer is right now—and where it needs to go next. So whether you were at CBC, watching from afar, or just here for the vibes… Grab a drink. Pull up a chair. You already know what it is. Join the Crew

    Beer Math, Dolphin Lies & NFL Draft Logic

    First things first—This episode is coming in delayed because Craft Beer Conference in Philly had us OUTSIDE… responsibly irresponsible. Too many pulls, too many conversations, not enough water. You know the vibes. This week, the Legendary Brew Crew kicks things off debating whether “prompt engineering” is a real thing or just another job somebody made up on the internet and somehow that spirals into dolphin conspiracies, Atlantis construction projects, and one of the wildest PTO discussions you’ve ever heard. We also pregame the madness of the Craft Beer Conference in Philadelphia (Yup! this was recorded before the madness) Black Brewers Night, city-wide takeovers, industry links, and how to survive a week where every stop is “just one more.” (Spoiler: you don’t. You just pace it better next time.) From there, we bounce into everything else: 🏈 NFL Draft talk and the business of being “just good enough” to get PAID 🏀 WNBA growth and why the future is finally looking different (and lucrative) 🍻 Industry moves like Iron Hill’s comeback …and the kind of conversations that start one place and end somewhere completely different, but always hit. At its core, this episode is what happens when beer, culture, sports, and pure chaos link up. Grab a drink, pull up a chair… and if you’re recovering too, you’re in the right place. What We Drinking 🍻 Dewey Beer Company “Phermatic” — Light (around 4% ABV), hop-forward, and Philly-coded. Featuring Strata, Galaxy, and those “cryo/cry-yo/cry-bro” hops we still arguing about how to pronounce.

    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?
