    S4E189: The Gang Goes to CBC-PHL

    What happens when two craft beer veterans escape their daily routines and descend upon Philadelphia for the Craft Brewers Conference? You get a whirlwind chronicle of aggressive itineraries, midnight food quests, and inside-baseball industry truths. Fresh off a massive international trip, Rob recounts flying into the city incognito, embracing a chaotic sleep cycle, and hunting down the absolute best dive bars Philly has to offer. Meanwhile, Andrew breaks down the travel logistical nightmares that left him locked out of critical meetings before arriving at a downsized conference that proved to be a masterclass in modern hospitality and event design. From navigating the fine-absorbing smoky neighborhood tabs to comparing the roar of a Phillies crowd to the thunderous stands of South Korean stadiums, the duo leaves no stone unturned. They unpack a dramatic, sudden brewery reopening that shocked the local industry, trade legendary road-trip stories about legendary sandwich structures, and dive deep into data trends revealing which breweries are truly feeling the post-pandemic economic squeeze. Plus, they celebrate an emotional major medal win for Arizona's own craft community, trace the historic birthplace of America's first lager, and track the elusive greenery holding taproom culture together.  Want to ask a question on the show?

    S4E185: On the Lash for UK Casks

    In this episode, Rob returns from an extensive journey across the UK, sharing a "stream of consciousness" travelogue that spans from the bustling pubs of London to the snow-dusted streets of Edinburgh . He dives into the nuances of British pub culture—from the etiquette of "pay as you go" to the specific charm of low-ABV cask ales . Along the way, he navigates the "nerve-racking" experience of driving on one-lane blind curves in the Dales, hunts down filming locations for Slow Horses and Ted Lasso, and shares the saga of getting a traditional kilt sized in Scotland . Whether you're interested in the history of the Burton fermentation system or just want to hear about the "second best" historical figure in London, this episode is a deep dive into the soul of British beer and hospitality.  *To be on the lash is slang for tying one on or drinking substatially and having a good time.
