Interbrews With Josh Stewart

Episode 3 of InterBrews Required Drinking has us celebrating a beer first brewed in 1980, Sierra Nevada Pale Ale. This Cascade Hop fueled icon of the craft beer movement in America is still a delicious, versatile, easy drinking must have in a beer drinker’s rotation. Though many great local beers and flashy new styles may make it a less often enjoyed brew, as you’ll hear from Keenan and Josh, Sierra Nevada Pale Ale is most assuredly Required Drinking. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/interbrews/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/interbrews/support

Episode 2 of Required Drinking is a discussion of Live Oak Hefeweizen. The Austin, Texas brewed delight was part of both Keenan's & Josh's craft beer enlightenment. This episode is best enjoyed in the sun with friends with a Live Oak Hefeweizen. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/interbrews/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/interbrews/support

Beer is awesome! That should be obvious, but we really believe all of us could use a reminder from time to time. Keenan Zarling is stepping up to the mic with InterBrews host Josh Stewart to pontificate the greatest beers the planet has ever seen. In this inaugural episode of Required Drinking, Keenan and Josh gush over Saison DuPont. Saison DuPont is a beer that brings to mind thoughts of all the ideals a beer should strive to meet. Enjoy a bottle of this style defining classic while Keenan and Josh go deep, so deep it'll put the cork and caged bottle of Saison DuPont to sleep. This day was a good day for Required Drinking. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/interbrews/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/interbrews/support

Some day soon, we’ll all get to meet at the brewery again and remember the time we were all locked in our homes dreaming about the very moment we are in. Until then, we’ll make the best of isolation with great beer and internet conversation. Blake Niederhofer is not only making the best of the isolation, he and the crew at Lone Pint Brewery are making the best beer in this situation and you can get some too. They are offering beer to go 7 days a week, everyday noon to 7pm. And they are also giving away Yellow Rose growler fills to front line workers as a way to say thank you, and Lord knows THEY could use a beer! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/interbrews/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/interbrews/support

Of course it wouldn't be an episode of InterBrews or a conversation with Rassul if we stayed on topic the entire time and so we didn't. Business, Society's Greatest challenges, The Houston Brewery District, Pizza, Whitmeyer's Whiskey and so much more are touched on in this episode. I can't wait to get to go have beers with my friends again, but I'm so glad that we are blessed with time and technology to do these shows. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/interbrews/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/interbrews/support
