Things we learned
28 Brewers in 3 hours is simply not enough time but we did it! There were 29 scheduled but Dogfish Head didn’t make it. They feared the DFH120 Chug legend! Our new quote… “Shut up and drink it!”
Comments are open! Leave some love!
Great job on this show, guys. The Hard Cock jokes just never get old, you know? It’s always great listening to brewers talk about their beer. I could listen to these interviews for days.
Man, you guys hit a lot of different brewers there. It’s great to hear that there was such a diverse collection of beers and styles that were available there.
Brad from Flying Dog Brewery was hilarious. He let the F-Bombs fly, huh? I’ve never heard a representative of a brewery with a potty mouth like that. Sign me up!
That dude really liked you guys, you can tell. That was so cool. Good Beer, no shit. I love it. That’s the kind of energy every brewery should have at these things.
I hope there’s more of this. Looking forward to Part II.
Thanks Clarke but I think if there’s ever a part 2 of this one it’ll be a special outtakes. We had some decent ones going but then some drunk would look over and say “hey, is that a taser in your hand? Are you checking peoples breaths with that?”. The one downfall of these things are the people who can’t hold their beer and go JUST to get shitfaced.
I have to say that the best beer I had that day was the Rocky River Hop Goblin IPA. Perfect amount of hops, perfect body and well I can’t mention the head since it was in a sampler glass. I think we may be making a road trip to see these guys!
Flying Dog was hands down the most fun all day with doing an interview. Brad was a great guy and full of energy. There were a few brewers there that were a complete turnoff because they were either boring or you could tell didn’t want to be there. Honestly I’ll probably drink more Flying Dog after talking to him.
I think we caught the Erie Brewing guys off guard
