I Like Beer the Podcast

After 6 years, ILB finally gets a one on one with San Brewing icon, Tomme Arthur, at the new Lost Abbey venue in Vista. Good things are definitely worth the wait! The beers were amazing, but the highlight is hearing Arthur's story and wisdom about succeeding in the beer market.  Lost Abbey has set the standard for craft beer, risk taking and incorporating story with beer. A Shawshank Beer included just to make the whole day perfect.

Join the Jeffs and Tom at Burgeon to hear all about the upcoming Oktoberfest festivities coming up in San Diego. Hear about Burgeon's Oktoberfest, Carlsbad Oktoberfest and BEERnardo Festival. 

Listener Rod made a porch beer drop delivered all the way from Fresno. The entire ILB Team reunites to enjoy Tioga Sequoia's Half Dome fruit beers. In preparation for Oktoberfest, Doc and Talent head over to Blue Fire Brewing to brew a Bamburg specialty beer. The Doctor's in the house, so that means Beer or Not a Beer!? and Craic! 

After six years of podcasting, the team returns to its roots. From the backyard Pub Shed, they reminisce about macro beers of yesteryear and sample craft clones of the American Light Lager style from Booze Bros, South O and Paperback Brewing. Doc's back with Craic and the team is left pondering, what exactly is "man-size pleasure?" and "how bad is scurvy?" 

 

The Artifex Brewing story has a long and winding origin story that connects to brewing legend after brewing legend. It's no wonder that owner Johnny Johur has become such a respected member of the brewing community. With the Artifex 11 year anniversary nearing, it was time to learn more. The ILB team is joined by Mike Stevenson (Culver Beer) and Garrett Perkins (Booze Bros) to hear Johnny share his story and his beers. Pull up a barstool and take a listen! 

It's the ILB ALL-STAR podcast! Three superstars of San Diego brewing join us to talk about the Mira Costa Brew Tech program and more. Mike Stevenson (Culver), Johnny Johur (Artifex), and Garrett Perkins (Booze Bros) are mentoring the next generation of brewers at the MCC Technology Career Institute in Carlsbad. These three are clearly good friends who bring their passion, curiosity and silliness to the classroom. Pull up at a desk, class is in session! 

 

It's been a year already, so the ILB Team returns to The Roadie's Brewing Company to hear about how the year went. They have big plans for their Anniversary party weekend, August 9-11th. Some amazing new beers complement their core list. Take a listen!

It's the summer of supporting local and the CoLab Public House in Vista has been one of the ILB regular haunts since it first opened. The team sits down with Joe Deutsch to hear about the recent changes to the CoLab lineup as well as upcoming events. Steve Michaliszyn of Propaganda Wines pops in to talk about the next beers he's planning on brewing. Apparently the old saying, "it takes a lot of good beer to make wine" is true. The CoLab offers great beer, wine, spirits, food and 'adult' bingo. Take a listen to find out more!
