Reve Brewing Company’s Eric Luman joins the BeerWise Podcast in the latest episode

In this episode, I am joined by Reve Brewing Company owner and brewer Eric Luman. Eric is a veteran brewer of the Jacksonville craft beer scene. He began his career in the 1990s and has been brewing at various breweries around Jacksonville ever since. After a stint at Jacksonville Beach’s Green Room Brewing Company, Eric decided to open his ‘dream brewery’ where he could focus specifically on brewing the styles of beer that make him happy. The exploration of those styles includes an expansive barrel-aging program that leads to almost weekly releases and adjunct ingredient combinations that are a bit unorthodox. Eric is candid about his goals with Reve Brewing and he talks with excitement about the future of the brewery.

This episode, I am joined by Michael Marquess, the founder and president of Mother Road Brewing Company in Flagstaff, Arizona.

We discuss Mother Road’s name, Tower Station IPA, the Flagstaff beer scene and more.

About Mother Road Brewing
Mother Road Brewing Company is Arizona’s third-largest independent craft brewer. Founded in 2011 in Flagstaff, Arizona, our mission is to brew distinguished beers and build community, one pint at a time.

We support local Arizona charities and organizations that help conserve and protect our state’s 800 unique species of wildlife. When you’re not at home or work, Mother Road Brewing Company is your “third space” – a place where everyone is welcome, where we connect and build relationships over our incredible craft beers.

 

On the heritage of Route 66 (where the name “Mother Road” comes from):

Route 66 is a highway steeped in history, culture, and the endless possibilities of the open road. When it was completed, it gave motorists unparalleled freedom to roam and connected small towns and big cities in never-before-seen ways.

Author John Steinbeck gave Route 66 the moniker “the mother road” in his classic novel The Grapes of Wrath. The highway was a road to opportunity for people seeking a better life.

Running through our hometown of Flagstaff, Arizona, Route 66 still holds a powerful place in our culture, and we’ve imbued its adventurousness and innovative spirit into the foundations of everything we build, do, and brew.

Preben Olsen and Michael Payne from Aardwolf Brewing on BeerWise podcast

Aardwolf Brewing Company’s Preben Olsen & Michael Payne join the BeerWise Podcast

This episode, I am joined by Aardwolf Brewing Company owner Preben Olsen and head brewer Michael Payne. Aardwolf Brewing has been a mainstay in the Jacksonville, Florida beer scene since 2013 when they opened as a beer bar and progressed to brewing their own beer. Preben and Michael discuss Aardwolf’s origins and how they came to start brewing in an historic ice factory in the San Marco area of the city.

Preben is also on the executive board of the Florida Brewers Guild, so I could not resist asking him about some of the initiatives that the guild has going on during the current legislative session.

As a side note, the brewery is built very close to the train tracks, so there is periodic train noise. The brewery was also opening the tap room, so there is ambient brewery tap room noise throughout the interview.

Southern Swells on BeerWise podcast

Corey Adams of Southern Swells Brewing joins the BeerWise Podcast

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.
