The South Jersey Beer Scene Podcast John Couchoud

We took the show on the road and hung out with Jon Henderson at the Good Time Tricycle Productions HQ to talk about the the history, evolution, and the upcoming Atlantic City Beer & Music Festival coming up on April 12th and 13th at the Atlantic City Convention Center.

Vic and James talk with Denny and Patty from NJ Beer Partners who have visited 533 breweries in 37 states and 11 countries! They didn't talk about all of the beers and the breweries, but they really tried! Fun conversation, enjoy!

Happy New Year and welcome to our first show of 2024.  We have something a little different on tap for the new year.  Manafirkin hosted a Singer/Songwriter showcase last month and Vic had the opportunity to interview several of the musicians before the show as well Todd Hunt, co owner of the brewery.  So instead of hearing about yeast and mash tuns, you’ll hear about Fenders and Martins and sound systems.  Thanks for listening hope you enjoy it!

Pinelands Brewing Co is one of the OG craft breweries in Ocean County, brewing great beer for almost 10 years.
Vic, Richard/James and Tom are joined by PBC partners Mike Broderson and Robert Shay. As always the podcast road features a lot of detours as we discuss the Jersey Devil, Black Garlic Beer and the illustrious history of the brewery.
Thanks for listening!

Vic and Richard venture out of the basement  and are joined by Tom as they visit Jason Campbell at Slack Tide Brewing Company’s new location.  The crew is also joined by legendary beer writer, Mark Haynie and Slack Tide Social Media Coordinator Rachel Sill.
 
The conversation runs the gamut, as they discuss GABF in Denver (Vic met his brew hero, Sam Calgione), restraining orders and  Jason shares his experience of winning a GABF medal for Avalon Amber in 2018.      
 
We also discuss the new expanded brewery, while Rachel shares some upcoming events happening at Slack Tide.     
 
Curiously we finish on the subject of UFOs once again and the gang commits to a future podcast at Mark’s place, ETs welcome!

Vic and Richard are back in the basement, joined by Alexis as they host Donn, Lisa and Brandon from Manafirkin Brewing Company. 
It's always a wild 'firkin ride when this crew comes on the show, as we talk about the brewery expansion, canning, distribution and, of course, try some delicious Manfirkin beers.
Manafirkin is a featured brewery at the Made in Jersey festival on September 30,  so this show features a new edition of the world famous (well at least in our world)  "So You Think You Can Jersey?" quiz show.  
 We also get a little out of orbit and talk about UFO congressional hearings and for possibly the first time ever on a beer-centric podcast you will hear the words, "quantum entanglement"! 
The truth is out there.!   
Cheers and enjoy!
