Synopsis
Fear Of A Craft Beer Planet is a craft beer podcast hosted by lifelong friends Jay Rose, James Richard Rabic, and Rob Forczek. Jay Rose and Rob have been in the NJ beer business for 20 years and Richard spent a good amount of time in the NJ radio world. The three of them have not only shared friendship but also the stage as they were collectively involved in the slow-growing Jam Band scene in the Philly/NJ area in the 90s. The podcast works because Richard is a beer novice while Jay Rose and Rob have seen the craft beer business grow up and become what it is today. They treat the show the same way they would treat improvising on stage as musicians; not much planning and minimal actual show prep. Its a conversation about beer, the business of beer, and the parallels between the beer business and the music business. Beers are consumed and discussed, stories are told, and chaos generally ensues by the end of every episode. Get into it. Get involved.

31/05/2015 Duration: 01h10minThis episode was recorded on the fly, on Jay's iPhone, on his back porch, on a Sunday night. Life-long friend of Jay and Richard, Bobby Parent is our guest, as it was his idea to smoke bourbon glasses and pour bourbon into the smoked glasses.
