The newest episode of the BeerWise Podcast is up – another episode from our recent trip to Flagstaff, Arizona.
This episode, I am joined by Michael Marquess, the founder and president of Mother Road Brewing Company in Flagstaff, Arizona. Mother Road Brewing was the first stop on a tour of Flagstaff breweries that I recently took courtesy of Visit Flagstaff. Michael was nice enough to sit down with me in the brewery’s taproom and talk about Mother Road and the brewery’s history over pints of Sunday Drive, Mother Road’s crisp lager.
Kickbacks Gastropub and Goozlepipe & Guttyworks are more than meets the eye.
King Street in Jacksonville looks like an unassuming row of restaurants, shops, and nightlife. With a few bars and breweries in the area, the street looks like any other line of places that might have a good beer or two on draft, but it certainly doesn’t look like the home of one of the most unique beer experiences in the Southeastern United States.
This episode, I am joined by Corey Adams of Southern Swells Brewing. Southern Swells just celebrated 6 years in the Jacksonville, Florida beer scene. Through it all, their beer lineup has been anchored by New England IPAs, especially their Karate In The Garage made with cryo Mosaic hops. Aside from that one particular beer, Southern Swells lineup changes continually. During this visit, Southern Swells still had Where the Citra Things Are, a session IPA made with every form of Citra hops available to purchase.
Our first repeat guest on the podcast, this episode Chris Fairchild joins us to talk about Tampa Bay Beer Week. Chris is the executive director of Tampa Bay Beer Week and he shares his insight on what makes Tampa Bay Beer Week 2023 different and how the organization tries to keep things fresh for this, the 11th year of Tampa Bay Beer Week.
Cigar City Brewing founder Joey Redner joins us in this episode of the BeerWise Podcast.
Growing up in the city of Tampa, Joey Redner built one of the most iconic breweries in Tampa’s history, but that is not what he intended when writing Cigar City Brewing’s initial business plan. Joey insists that he never intended for the brewery to grow as big as it did, and Joey shares what he has learned and some business thoughts on craft beer.
It was a fortunate coincidence that I had my recorder handy during August’s Florida Brewers Guild Conference, as both men were in attendance and had some time to sit down and talk about their journeys as brewers and record some of the names of brewers who have come and gone from Florida breweries. Ron and Madison talk about what it was like sharing information between breweries before email and the internet and other differences between their start in brewing and their current state of affairs.
