Chasing 1000 Craft Beers: Perfect Pour 136

This week: We now have to keep our IPAs under 30 days? Crap. The term "indie" in beer doesn't sit well with everybody. And by the way, just so you know: Indie Beer + Indie Beer = Indie Beer. IT HAS BEEN DECIDED!
Mikey is four 'distinct check-ins' away from 1000. Yes, he may finally be hitting puberty. Does he make it to 1000 before the show is over?
Voicemails? Oh we got listener voicemails, people. Sadly some dumbass (Mikey) forgot to play Cody's for two weeks straight, but there are still plenty to listen to. Something for you the listener to take with you: We need a name for Scotty B's IPA he's brewing without hops. Name it!

People Are Getting Very Un-Craft Beer About Things: Perfect Pour #135

 Well, #IndieBeer is still causing a ruckus. People don't seem to understand why a person would want to choose a good independent brewer over a macro or buyout brewer. We don't understand why people think that's dumb. The struggle is real.The show is still getting a strong amount of listener voicemails, it's damn near taking over things. We are pretty ok with that.Plus, beers to look out for and beers we were caught drinking in the past week. AND Mikey is tempted buy a Ballast Point can.CLICK TO LISTEN!: PerfectPourPodcast135.mp3 52.3 MB | 01:54:00 | Some Explicit LanguageKEY LINKING YO!

This week on the show, we finally tell our side of the Big #IndieBeer Battle of 2016. Sorry, you don't get to be cool, Big Beer, and we're going to give you some shizz about it.It's always fun when we get to sink out teeth into a topic we are passionate about and we can get pretty passionate about beer.There's some other stuff too. Did we get tickets to Firestone Walker Invitational? Maybe... but we give some tips for those that want to show up in town but don't have tickets. What happens when your taproom doesn't have a permit for guest taps? Beers to look out for and we long for the days of crank calling.Stay to the end for your Barly cheers... Wait, WHAT!? This episode is over two hours?!

Where is your 'sweet spot' of alcohol in a IPA? Is it 6.7%? 7.2%? We may try to figure this out.Also this week: Untappd becomes a 'buyout app', some sad local beer news, what it sounds like when a tangent happens within' a tangent, 'look out' for some new indie beer hitting the market, listen to a lot of voicemails and express a desire for indie canned water.But most importantly: we have fun drinking good beer.CLICK TO LISTEN: UntappdBuyoutAppPour132.mp342.9 MB | 01:33:52 | Some Explicit Language(You can also use the player at the bottom of the post)KEY LINKINGYO!

Ballast Point Sells Out and Burst Our Craft Beer Bubble: Perfect Pour #123

   Yes. We already know Ballast Point sold their soul to Big Beer. It's beer geek freakout time, bro! Really, it's just sad. 
Not sad for the owners of Ballast Point. Not sad for the employees of Ballast Point. But maybe sad for craft beer. Or what we and Three B Zine are now calling craft beer: Indie Beer. 
So yeah, we're going to tackle the whole Ballast Point thing. And maybe explore the notion that the Craft Beer Bubble everyone talks about? Yeah it's not craft beer's popularity ending but Big Beer buying up so much craft that we don't know where the lines are anymore and everyone just says "Fuck it!" "Beer is beer!"Give us a listen: PerfectBallastPour123.mp3 KEY LINKING YO! Sign up for the Perfect Pour newsletter Donate to us on Patreon. HOSTED BY: Nick. Matt. Mikey.
