Season 3, Episode 52 – This week we drink our favorite and not-so-favorite holiday beers. It’s been a rough year and we’ve got gluttony knocking on our door (it’s Christmas Eve and the first day of Hanukkah) so we’re gonna keep this post short… The 2016 Holiday Beers 1. Don’t buy those pre-made holiday beer gift packs. They’re usually all old beers that didn’t sell and were repackaged in a holiday-style gift box. This doesn’t mean those beers are inherently bad, but they’re probably past their p...
Season 3, Episode 51 – This week, we find out who will rein supreme in the battle between the Light side of the sea, and the Dark side. Does anyone else smell fish? What is that? Oh, pshht…I know what it is. It’s a Sculpin from Ballast Point Brewing, and an Invasive Species from Beachwood Brewing! We invited both of these underwater dwellers to battle it out on the show this week, with hopes of figuring out which one of these is the bigger fish to fry. The Beachwood/Ballast Point Showdow A littl...
Season 3, Episode 50 – This week, 4B fans sent us a bunch of beers from the Midwestern United States of America. It’s a mailbag melee! If you’re wondering what that is, exactly, it means that all of the beers on the show this week are from the Midwest and from 4B listeners. We are always desperately in need of beers from other parts of the country (and world, for that matter) that aren’t accessible to us otherwise, and we’re always down to showcase them on the show. Midwest Beers The beers submi...
Season 3, Episode 49 – This week, metal bands collaborate with craft breweries, and we drink the beers. Metal music and beer. The two were practically made for one another. This week, we’re drinking three beers from craft breweries that collaborated with metal/rock bands to make some of the heaviest beers out there, baby. Metal Band Collaboration Beers Bands teaming up with breweries to make a co-branded collaboration beer is nothing new, and for the most part, bands collaborate with craft brewe...
Season 3, Episode 48 – This week, we’re drinking beer with our friend, Oskar. Oskar Blues Brewery is one of the earliest modern craft breweries to exclusively use cans for packaging their beer. Everything from lager to imperial stout goes into cans short, tall, and wide. Oskar Blues even invented the “Crowler”, a 32 ounce growler made out of an aluminum can. Not only are they ahead of their time with their packaging, they also make some killer beer. Oskar Blues Beers The seven beers on the show ...
Season 3, Episode 47 – This week, we hand over the keys to the show… We decided to do something special this week. Having women on the show is nothing new to Four Brewers, but we wanted to take it to the next level and hand over the entire show to some local beer geeks who also happen to be women. Full transparency, John decided to throw this show together at the last minute. That’s important to know because Natalie DeNicholas (of Maltose Falcons and Sanctum Brewing Co. ) literally had two days ...
Season 3, Episode 45 – This week, 4B fan Ken Sorenson, sent us some brews from Bend, Oregon’s Worthy Brewing. Are they worthy? Are WE worthy?! The Pacific Northwest is considered by many to be beer Mecca. We would agree if we didn’t live in beer Mecca, here in SoCal (we kid)! Anywho… Worthy Brewing Beers The beers on the show this week are from a brewery that’s new to the 4B crew, Worthy Brewing . These beers, along with a gift package that included four Worthy branded shirts, four Worthy brande...
Season 3, Episode 45 – This week on the show, Temecula’s Beer Ambassador, aka John Ryti, joins us with some new stuff from Ironfire Brewing and Relentless Brewing, and we also try a little beer named Space Trace from Bottle Logic Brewing. This week, we are happy to welcome back our good friend and beer geek, John Ryti . He brought us some new beers from Relentless Brewing Company (first time on the show, by the way) and a hop-bomb from Ironfire Brewing Company that was tapped right off of the br...
Season 3, Episode 44 – Tyler King and Brian White join us in the studio to talk about their new brewery, Brewery Rex. So. Brewery Rex . Ever heard of them? Chances are maybe you have, but probably not. Brewery Rex is Tyler King (formerly, the Director of Brewing Operations at The Bruery) and Brian White’s ( Monkish Brewing , Chapman Crafted ) newest venture. They have been in the process of opening the brewery for a couple of years now, but the public really knew nothing about the place. Tyler a...
Season 3, Episode 43 – This week, we’re going back to Sacramento and drinking some beers from Track 7 Brewing Company. Recently, at the Inland Empire Brewers Guild Summer Send Off Festival, we ran into Amanda Barnes, sales representative for Track 7 Brewing Company , and tried a couple of beers that they brought to the fest. After a bit of conversation and an exchange of business cards, a box of beer from Track 7 magically appeared on our doorstep a couple of weeks later. NICE. Track 7 Brewing C...
Season 3, Episode 42 – This week on the show, beers from Sudwerk Brewing Co. out of Davis, California. This week we’re featuring a brewery that all of us on the podcast seem to have unintentionally overlooked over the years, Sudwerk Brewing Co. . Turns out, Sudwerk make some really great beer that most definitely should not be overlooked or taken for granted. Sudwerk Brewing Co. Beers The beers on this week’s episode were provided to us by Sudwerk. We met up with them during the California Craft...
Season 3, Episode 41 – This week, we’re drinking Great American Beer Festival 2016 medal-winning brews! Fresh off the The 4B Flight and fresh off the plane from the Great American Beer Festival (just Matt , that is) we’re back with another full-length episode of Four Brewers and we’re drinking as many GABF medal-winning beers as we could get our hands on. GABF 2016 Winners! We’ve gushed about the Great American Beer Festival in previous episodes ( 2014 , 2015 ), so we won’t get into the event it...

The 4B Flight 2.0, Episode 4 – Today on The 4B Flight, a gueuze that’s actually a blend of two different styles of beer that maybe shouldn’t have been blended together. The 4B Flight is a biannual series in which we do one standard episode of Four Brewers, followed by six mini episodes for an entire week! The 4B Flight is served up in April and October. Enjoy!

Season 3, Episode 40 – This week, we’re blind ranking 13 different gueuze-style beers. The gueuze showdown was inevitable, really. I mean, IPA, stout, and pilsner showdowns are all good and well, but a gueuze showdown is really hard to pull off. Since “sour beers” have been all the rage for the last ten years or so (at least from our limited perspective), it seemed natural to put on our big-boy pants and get to the real deal: gueuze-style beer and lambic. The Gueuze Showdown As always, this show...
Season 3, Episode 39 – We’re back in the studio this week, and we’re drinking some excellent beers from Chicagoland breweries! Fresh off of our epic road trip to Sacramento for the California Craft Beer Summit , Jason was greeted with a box o’ brew from Four Brewers listener and Patreon Supporter, Max Peltier. Max originally wanted to send us some brew for Cheap Beer Corner , which he did (thanks!), but decided to balance things out with what turned out to be some really, really tasty craft beer...
Season 3, Episode 38 – This week, we’re on the floor of the expo at the California Craft Beer Summit in Sacramento, California, talking to some rad beer industry peeps. This week’s post was written in collaboration with the lovely Yvonne England . Hey y’all! Guess that we did?! We went to Sacramento! (Have you watched our road trip video yet?) Make Beer Clear Again… This week, we went to the California Craft Beer Summit and had the opportunity to talk to a bunch of amazing beer people on the flo...
