Perfect Pour Craft Beer Podcast

All Our Glassware Is Broken: Perfect Pour #142

Beer glassware tends to break easy. Such is life as an indie craft beer podcasters.
Let's see what kind of craft beer geekness gets poured this week. More beer closings happen. Nick is worthy of getting all the 'top pours'. Mikey finds out he doesn't like blondes and tells the tale of going out to the boonies for an IPA and it wasn't there and Tioga makes a beer for the Mayor.
Looking out for some Fayetteville, Arkansas brewers, plenty of beer drinking and much more beer podcasting.

Highly ABNORMAL Craft Beer Drinking: Perfect Pour #137

Indie beer people are a small group. Not big. Small. They need your support. If you don't feel like supporting independent stuff, just at least leave the people that do, alone.
We talk about this and some other craft beer culture news. Plus: What is the best beer bar in your state?
We are then joined by Derek Gallanosa, Head Brewer at Abnormal Beer Company. He's a pretty awesome guy. We talked about a lot of beer stuff. Some of them this:The amazing craft beer life that a brewer in San Diego can have.Converting people to craft beer.Do brewers look at your Untappd reviews of their beer.Getting hops from Big Beer.Tells some pretty awesome stories. Along with one that involves a prominent Perfect Pour listener.
Lots of IPA related drinking happens as we give you some beers to look out for and talk about beers we drank.
Oh, and there are a lot of voicemails. LOTS of voicemails.

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!
