Pour Another Round

Jonathan Eckelberg, Derrick Zimmerman

A podcast by beer lovers, for beer lovers, with beer creators. Beer has long been the cause of a good story, a laughable faux pas, liquid encouragement, humorous memories, forgotten nights, and the centerpiece of camaraderie. Often overlooked is the story of the beer itself. Each hoppy pour has been on a long journey to become the brews you love. There’s been people and places, whos, whats, whys, and hows. We usually tell stories over a proverbial pint, but pour another round with hosts Jonathan and Derrick as they dive into the suds and take a look at the stories literally inside the pint.

    Heartland Craft Grains and Titletown Brewing Company Collaboration - Lodi and Green Bay, WI

    In this episode of Pour Another Round, we welcome Head Brewer Jeff from Titletown Brewing Company and Rochelle from Heartland Craft Grains. They discuss the unique collaboration between the two, focusing on the creation of the Gridiron Glory lager, which utilizes blue corn from Heartland Craft Grains.  The conversation delves into the farming practices Rochelle and her husband, Evan, use that prioritizes flavor, as well as the brewing techniques involved in creating the beer, and the future plans for both businesses. Listeners are encouraged to explore local breweries and the innovative products they offer. Rochelle is a former Alice in Dairyland here in Wisconsin, so she is not new to traveling the state, this time to develop partnerships and sell their grain offerings. Fun fact...Rochelle actually competed against Jonathan's wife, Amy, for Alice in Dairyland!    More about Heartland Craft Grains: We're the Schnadts - welcome to our family farm and grain mill in Lodi, WI! We're 4th and 5th generation farmers raising the next crop of farm kids and unique grains on our land. This adventure started when we pondered the question, "can you grow corn for flavor?" The answer is YES! Not only do we select grains with a reputation for flavor, but our farm practices also focus on creating healthier soil, in turn growing nutrient-dense and flavorful grains to be enjoyed in the kitchen with family and friends. Terroir isn't just for grapes - you can taste the difference and depth of flavor from the silty soil of the Lodi Valley. Our grains range from heirloom blue and polenta corns to ancient grains including spelt and einkorn, and modern oats and wheat for pantry staples that perform. We take great pride in transforming our grains into a delicious and nutritious ingredient from our family to yours!   More about Titletown Brewing Company: We're Green Bay's original craft brewery, founded in 1996 by a group of beer loving locals. We  honor our connection to the Green-and-Gold and our link to a storied cultural past every day. Vist the brewery for a tour, or check out the sky lounge, and journey through to explore our history, the multiple historic buildings we've saved and restored, and what drives us each and every day.     Follow Pour Another Round:   Facebook: /PourAnotherRoundPodInstagram: @PourAnotherRoundPodWebsite: pouranotherround.com
