    GBM 144 - Mindfulness and Alcohol Free with Meagen Anderson

    GBM 144 - Mindfulness and Alcohol Free with Meagen Anderson

    Craft beer was meant to be better, to create an artisanal experience out of flavor, history, and culture. But sometimes, we overindulge and lose sight of what brought us here. My next guest reminds us that, for a great experience, mindful drinking is mandatory, but alcohol is optional.

    We find great experiences at the intersection of craft and culture. These are the stories of us, of great food and the beer that brings it all together. For the Craft and Culture of Beer, this is episode 144 of Good Beer Matters with Certified Cicerone and AFicioNAdo founder, Meagen Anderson.

    In this final episode, I want to thank all the guests who came on the show to share their stories and their experiences. And, I want to thank all of you who’ve listened. At this point, I’m pressing pause on the Good Beer Matters podcast because I’ve said what I was compelled to say. Now, I want to take Good Beer Matters in other directions. It’s not good by forever, just goodbye for now.



    So, consider this the end of the beginning, not the beginning of the end. There are more stories to tell and great beers to be experienced. But for now, the rest of this journey is yours. I would love to hear what stories resonated with you the most, and what you’re doing to make beer culture even better. 



    Don’t forget to grab a beer, hang out with your friends, and let your world open up.  



    Thank you for listening all these years.  

    Cheers

    GBM 142 - On Beer, Pubs, and Mental Health, with Emma Inch

    GBM 142 - On Beer, Pubs, and Mental Health, with Emma Inch

    We can travel nearly anywhere to have a pint with locals. But there’s one place we often find ourselves, a place where no-one else can go. This episode is about the experience we have in our mind, and the state of our mental health within the context of beer. 



    If we’re sick we go to a doctor. If we’re injured, a physical therapist. When we want to perform better, we see a coach. Addressing our mental health and our mental fitness ought to be the same. Good beer may have little to do with this, but it’s a great way to get the conversation started. 

    We find great experiences at the intersection of craft and culture. These are the stories of us, of great food and the beer that brings it all together. For the Craft and Culture of Beer, this is episode 142 of Good Beer Matters with beer writer and mental health advocate, Emma Inch.

    GBM 141 - The Story and the Beer of Belgium, with Breandán Kearney

    GBM 141 - The Story and the Beer of Belgium, with Breandán Kearney

    Belgium holds one of the richest beer cultures in the world. But, with a history and culture as diverse as theirs, beer is only the beginning. My next guest is a master storyteller who guides us even deeper into the world beyond the beer we already know and love. 

     

    Because I haven’t yet traveled to Belgium myself, It’s easy for me to make assumptions about the culture based on my experience with the beer. But, we must remember that beer can serve as a tool and a doorway. It’s not designed to answer questions. It’s meant to elicit them.  



    We find great experiences at the intersection of craft and culture. These are the stories of us, of great food and the beer that brings it all together. For the Craft and Culture of Beer, this is episode 141 of Good Beer Matters with Breandán Kearney of Belgian Smaak.

    GBM 140 - Where to Find Good Beer in Italy, with Luca Giaccone

    GBM 140 - Where to Find Good Beer in Italy, with Luca Giaccone

    Italy is best known for their culinary and wine traditions that extend thousands of years, not beer. But that’s the point. Imagine what they can do when they include great beer. My next guest guides us to that inflection point when good beer meets a culture known for its flavor.



    I’m fortunate to have enjoyed the Italian dining experience. The preparation, the slow cooking, the attention to flavor, and long conversations that last for hours. These are special occasions… the memorable experiences that somehow change the trajectory of our lives for the better. I invite you to gather your loved ones and experience the same. 



    We find great experiences at the intersection of craft and culture. These are the stories of us, of great food and the beer that brings it all together. For the Craft and Culture of Beer, this is episode 140 of Good Beer Matters with Editor of the Italian Beer Guide, Luca Giaccone.

    GBM 139 - The Thing About Beer Travel, with Dr. Ruth Berman

    GBM 139 - The Thing About Beer Travel, with Dr. Ruth Berman

    Long ago a side trip to a pub while traveling was enough. Now, squeezing in a side trip to a museum while Beer Traveling is commonplace. My next guest is one of these people who put Beer Travel on the map, and she wants to share with us just how wonderful it is. 



    Not everyone can easily travel abroad. For some, it’s a bit of a luxury. But, unlike other luxuries, travel is an investment in your experience and your lifelong perspective. No matter how far you can go, my wish for you is just to go and seek out your Beer Travel destination. 

    We find great experiences at the intersection of craft and culture. These are the stories of us, of great food and the beer that brings it all together. For the Craft and Culture of Beer, this is episode 139 of Good Beer Matters with Beer Traveler, Dr. Ruth Berman.

Good Beer Matters is Great!

Excellent show, great host, very knowledgeable and relevant topics. Jeremy brings sides of the industry that are appealing, interesting and relevant. Season 3 was a particular highlight for me, can’t wait to see what’s in store for season 4! 🙌🏿

Such a wealth of beer knowledge and wisdom

Jeremy does a great job of finding some of the top people in the craft beer world and dives into their area of expertise with ease and grace. This is not the podcast of a dude drinking beer for 5 mins and then talks sports/current events/rants/etc. This is focused and well thought out. If you care about beer and want to take your knowledge to the next level, this is a great place to start.

Most Positive Show About Beer

Host Jeremy Storton takes a positive look at the world of beer, always asking the question of why good beer matters to our world. Episodes focus on a single interview with a person, but it's not relegated to any one aspect of beer. He's chatted with brewers, writers, enthusiasts; anyone who has a great outlook on our favorite beverage.
