Fear Of A Craft Beer Planet

This episode was recorded on Record Store Day at Jupiter Records in Woodbury Heights NJ. We drink a ton of great beer and discuss the parallels between the craft beer world and the record collecting world. Steve Zimmerman from Jupiter Records sits in, we learn about "The Summer Of Richard", and George from the Woodbury FAF Coalition drops some knowledge about the Lot 323 event and how it benefits the arts in Woodbury. Also, Matt and Abe from Big Noise Music Fest stop in to tell us to go down to Delaware on May 20th to check out some killer music! Strap in, this is a long one!

#58 finds us back at our home base, Tiki Tiki Board Games in Woodbury NJ for our Record Store Day Preview. Are you aware that Record Store Day is on April 22 this year? Are you also aware that Dogfish Head is the Official Beer of Record Store Day? We combine 2 of our favorite things as we sit down with Ryan Horner from Dogfish Head Brewing and Steve Zimmerman from Jupiter Records. Dogfish beers are cracked, we explore the parallel universes of craft beer and rare records, and announce where you can find the Dogfish/Crosley truck in South Jersey .

Sleepy Sunday morning episode from our new home base at Tiki Tiki Board Game Shop in Woodbury NJ. Ryan from Tiki Tiki sits in, he pours us his version of a beer mimosa, (he calls them mimoso's for some reason), and we go deep into the NJ beer wholesaler matrix. Richard invents a word, Jay Rose is hung over and Rob finds that amusing, and a 50/50 Eclipse from 2015 gets opened. Also, one of our guests on the next segment shows up early and sits in for the last few mins.

Segment 2 from Philly Beer Scene Band Of Brewers at World Cafe Live. We Drink a mystery bottle, and try to figure out the difference between Porter and Stout and Baltic Porter. Rob Jahn from Neshaminy Creek Brewing stops by to talk about their new location and we drink a super exclusive Transmitter beer with him.

We're live from World Cafe Live in Philadelphia for the Philly Beer Scene Magazine Band Of Brewers Volume 5. We dissect the ever changing world of beer wholesalers in NJ and what we can expect moving forward. We drink some Troegs, some Stone, and we scream about classic German styles. Mat Falco from Philly Beer Scene Magazine sits in for the last few minutes and breaks some news about something we're technically not really allowed to talk about. So there's that.

Segment 1 of 2 live from The Pourhouse in Westmont NJ. The "stupid question of the day alarm" happens by accident, a hung over Jay Rose completely fakes his way through and bungles the description of a vintage cider, Wine expert Andrea Billick helps Jay decipher the cider, and Richard's man crush on John Mayer is reveled.

Segment 2 from Tiki Tiki Board Game Shop in Woodbury NJ features Paul Brown from Good Time Tricycle. Who is Paul Brown? He's a force of NATURE! What is Good Time Tricycle? They are the production company that puts on the Atlantic City Beer and Music Fest every year. Who is Richard? He's the guy the that owns the computer that crashes mid-podcast. He explains what happened and how he fixed it as the podcast goes on. Always something...

#53 Live From Tiki Tiki Board Games in Woodbury NJ by Jay Rose, James Rabic, Dan Jacoby

This episode was recorded at in the Bar in Rob Forczek's basement affectionately called "The Pompous Pour." As you listen to this, Rob and his fam are in a new house, so we thought it was fitting to to wrap up the year that was 2016 with the Final Pour at the Pour. We went straight through on this one with no edits and no breaks. We now present all 2 hours and 50 mins of #52! Happy this, merry that, drink something awesome.

Segment 2 from the Blue Monkey Tavern finds us drinking Peruvian beers with our good friend Dawn Cisler. Dawn had just come back from Peru and surprised us at the Blue Monkey with good beer and amazing Peruvian Chocolate. In light of the election, Richard diagrams it all out perfectly a month prior to the actual election. Turns out he's a wise, old, sage. Also we drink an AMAZING homebrew and we were not sure who made it.

First of 2 segments recorded upstairs at the Blue Monkey Tavern in Merchantville NJ before their annual Fall Beer fest. Rob Forczek calls in from the field, and Richard brings a bunch of beers from his personal stash and enjoys his picks, and we hold up the progress of a gentleman trying to vacuum the room.

In this second and final segment from Rob's bar in his basement, the boys drink a ton of beer from Rob's Allagash visit, Richard scares children at a red light, and Jay Rose shares the ridiculous sequence of events that shaped his Father's Day . This is a long one but man it's worth it!

#48 takes place in Rob's Forczek's basement, better known as "The Pompous Pour." Occasionally it's a gas to do a podcast with just us, in a quiet place, with not a ton of swirling shenanigans. Rob Forczek does allllll the show prep, Richard proclaims he's a craft beer yellow belt, Jay Rose explains how he makes cold brew coffee, and we geek out over a smoked porter that was created on the fly. This one has a chill vibe to it. That's nice occasionally.

3rd and final segment from the Neshaminy Creek Brewing's 4th Anniversary Party. In this episode we sit down with Rob Jahn and Steve Capelli, Co-owners and operators of Neshaminy Creek Brewing, we get pretty deep (for us) into the heated world of politics with Richard, and a couple random ladies take over the open mics toward the end. 3rd segments are usually never a good idea, this one is easily our best. Crack a Jawn and get in to it.

#46 is segment 2 from the Neshaminy Creek Brewing 4th Anniversary Party. Not bad for a second segment! John Hoyos from Hunterdon sits in, and we introduce a new segment called "Beer Soaked Politics With Richard THE Rastafarian." We don't get too far into the segment before it gets derailed by the Neshaminy Creek GM, the one and only, Pat Pie. Strap in, this is a FUNNY EPISODE! Get into it!

#45 Finds us in the enormous warehouse space before the doors open at the Neshaminy Creek Brewing Co. 4th Anniversary party. Philly Beer Week is recapped, we dissect micro vs craft vs independent beer with John Hoyos from Hunterdon, and we talk about how craft spirits seem to be "more craft" than beer. We also get a long overdue update on the ever evolving status of Richard's many occupations. Crack a JAWN and enjoy the ride.

Our second segment celebrating the 40th birthday of everyone's favorite co-host, Rob Forczek. We continue to drink through all the beautiful beers Andy O brought, a Hill Farmstead Dorothy was opened, and Ed Hughes drops a Blue IPA from Tired Hands on us. We also hear about a best man speech that didn't stand a chance, Jay Rose and Rob's CBC shenanigans, Dan admits he's a bad producer, and somehow Richard becomes the judge of Jay Rose's Stone Brewing event disappearing act. Richard as a judge, yep, you read that correctly. This is a big one, it clocks in at right about an hour and a half. A big show for a big birthday extravaganza!

#43 takes place upstairs at the Pourhouse in Westmont NJ. We recorded with about 20 of our friends as we celebrated Rob Forczek's 40th Birthday. Richard, not wanting to give up the spotlight for any reason, strolled in an hour and 15 mins late to the recording. We waited for him, and so did the entire upstairs of the bar. Good times, same as it ever was.

Our first podcast in a post-Prince world. We rap about Prince while drinking a Beer To Drink Music To from Dogfish Head. We welcome Bear Republic Brewing back to NJ with a Racer 5 and We crack open a growler of an El Dorado Rum Barrel Aged Exit 4 from Flying Fish. This Exit 4 was barreled exclusively by Flying Fish for Joe Canal's in West Deptford NJ. It was only poured at the Joe Canals growler station, and we got our hands on an elusive growler.

4/20! Welcome to 'The Psychedelic Shack!' No beer here, Jay Rose and Richard have teamed up for a podcast side-project called, "The Psychedelic Shack" which will focus on all things psychedelic. In this first episode, we sit down with Tom Bazis, owner/operator of Float SJ Float Center in Marlton NJ. If you've ever had questions about Sensory Depravation tanks/Float Tanks, this is the podcast for you. Tom is a modern day Shaman, Richard drops neuroscience knowledge, and Jay Rose does whatever Tom tells him to do. This episode is the perfect companion to your 4/20 plans. Fire this one up and enjoy the day!
