S2 E17 - An evening with Ryan Maybee from J. Rieger & Co Distilling

Welcome to the Boozie Banter Podcast. We are not certain how we are already in October, but a chill is in the air and we have a lust for spirits in our hearts. In our continuing effort to surround ourselves with people much smarter than us, we welcome Ryan Maybee into the studio. Restauranteur, cocktail artist, modern Whiskey Baron and all around booze industry Renaissance Man, I’m hoping that he also responds well to flattery, because it’s our go-to move during interviews and the cocktails alwa...

S2 E13 - We're Baaaaack- Beers with Seth Groves from Pequod

Welcome to the Boozie Banter Podcast. We have returned from our summer hiatus, under house arrest in Tijuana for a totally non violent misunderstanding involving 3 dolphins, a couple of rodeo clowns and a satchel full of pixie sticks. We can laugh about it... now. Tonight's guest, Seth Groves from Pequod Distribution, is here to talk beer, beer festivals and all the new fangled stuff that people are somehow still calling "beer". We are back in the saddle and totally addled. Let's get the fall ep...

S2E10 - Sierra Nevada drinkin' with Matt and three Brian's (okay one is spelled with a Y but work with us)

Hello and Welcome to the Boozie Banter Podcast. We thought that we didn’t have enough Brian's involved, so we reached out to the Territory Sales Manager for Sierra Nevada Brewing, Brian Debold. Here at Boozie Banter, we spend most of our time off the trail, deep in the woods and lost in our own thoughts. And drinking. It seems a good match. #Sierranevada #Paleale #hazylittlething #tripinthewoods Sierra Nevada Pale Ale - 2:40 Hazy Little Thing - 5:30 Brux - 20:00 Trip in the Woods: Grain, Grape &...

Bryan and Matt are joined by Sarah to relax into some red beers and chat about the upending of the industry on this day a year ago, how things have adapted, what they see moving forward and discuss their wish list of travel destinations for the coming year.Dublin Drop Smithwick's - 10:00 · With a refre...
