Fear Of A Craft Beer Planet is a craft beer podcast for music fans. Using their expertise in beer and music, these four lifelong friends Jay Rose, Rob Forczek, James “Richard” Rabic bring brewers and beers to every episode, while providing insider knowledge on the exploding craft beer industry. The podcast is a part of the Osiris Media Network which is a national network that partners with JamBase.com. The show 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 approach the show in the same way they would approach improvising on stage as musicians; not much planning and minimal actual “show prep.” It’s a free-wheeling 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 hopefully lessons are learned.

#140 I'm Not Really Helpful
3/15/2021
First ep of 2021, the stars aligned and we managed to carve out a couple hours to shoot the breeze about beer. We discuss smoked beer and its polarity, JR talks about his first Covid Shot experience, construction on the new Tonewood Brewery is moving right along, and we run through the ramifications of legal weed in NJ. Speaking of legal weed in NJ, Richard pontificates about how his charge "poof, vanished!"

#139 The Annual Holi-dud Extravaganza
12/24/2020
Been a minute since we got together virtually to record an actual podcast, but the planets and stars aligned this week and we made it happen. We try to wrap up a strange year, Richard gives us a glimpse into what it's like being a 47 year old savage, there's a Hendrix vs Eddie Van Halen Discussion and we drink a few pops. Hopefully this episode finds you safe and well, we'll see you in 2021.

#138 Ann Obenchain Director Of Marketing For The Brewers Association
10/8/2020
If you're listening to this podcast there's a good chance you're a craft beer devotee and as such, you are acutely aware that we SHOULD be waist-deep in what is usually Beer Fest Season. Unfortunately that's not a thing right now, but the folks at the Brewers Association have not let a pandemic discourage them. The Brewers Association is responsible for putting on some of the biggest and best events on the craft beer calendar every year. Events such as SAVOR, and the crown jewel of all beer...

#137 A Podcast About Nothing
10/5/2020
You've heard of the show about nothing, this is the podcast about nothing. Just 4 of us chewing the fat and drinking beers. Rob admits he's finally at his breaking point with our current social situation. And from there, we touch on a few different themes that are relavant to the times we find ourselves in. Sometimes its nice to tune everything out and just laugh along with 4 fellas about nothing.

#136 Hard Kombucha? Yes Hard Kombucha
8/9/2020
As hard seltzers continue to gain in popularity because of the low carb, no sugar bit, a new category has emerged in their wake. The "Better For You" category. (notice it's not the GOOD for you category, because it's BETTER for you than saaaaaay beer and spirits) This category has slowly and quietly been building in popularity over the last few months. One of the break out brands in the category is a Hard Kombucha from the West Coast called Flying Embers. Brendan McLane, Director Of Sales...

#135 The Meeting That Turned Into an Episode
7/27/2020
So we've been caught in sort of a tough spot recently. In light of the current events, we've been concerned that our name and logo would cause some problems online with people that don't know who we are or what we do, so we have not released anything in a little while. We spent a few weeks contemplating a name change (The Pilsnerds was a suggestion that didn't really have legs), asking people all over the place what we should do, and processing the situation as a whole. The general consensus...

#134 It's A Weird Time To Be A Human
6/19/2020
We're not really sure what to say about any of it, but that didn't stop us from trying to make some sort of sense of the current state of affairs. We cracked a couple beers and just hung out. We felt like we needed a hang to talk through things a little bit. There are a couple inconsequential ha-ha's, but the overall tone of this one reflects what we're feeling right now. We did the best we could to unpack the situation, hope it helps a little.

#133 The Continuing Corona Chronicles With No Actual Corona
5/25/2020
We start with a great guest in the Green Room, Dan Jost. Dan is a smokin' guitar player from the South Jerz/Philly area. Dan is doing a fundraiser on Facebook Live that will help provide PPE for the Inspira Hospital Group in South Jersey. Jump on Dan's FB page to see how to donate.
We're still doing the podcast from home, seems to be working. Our Friend Stephen Brahm stops in to talk about the airline biz and where it's all headed. We open a few beers, talk about little Richard, and...

#132 Innnn Theory....
5/15/2020
Ryan Egan cracked a new beer from Tonewood on this one called "String Theory." It reminded us of how whenever we ask Richard a question about the production end of the podcast, he gives a long detailed answer, pauses, and finishes with a very confidence-inducing "Innnnn theory...." Jay Rose opens a gang of beers that have never been available in NJ before, Rob spikes a new Stone beer with Tequila, and Richard lounges carelessly on couch as we attempt another addition of the FOACBP Quarantine...

#131 No Agreement: Tony Allen Tribute
5/8/2020
Tony Allen, who has been dubbed the father of Afro-Beat, died at the age 80 last week on the day we recorded this. If you listen to us at all, you know that 3 of us are drummers and Tony Allen was a huge influence on us. His style and ferocity as a player were as unique as the music he was associated with. We pay tribute to Tony and Afro-Beat with a few beers, Jay Rose actually cracked (and finished by himself) a bottle of wine, and we continue to try make some sort of sense of our current...

#130 Work That Phatt
5/1/2020
Our title comes from a Prince song that is so horrible that it's absolutely brilliant. It's tough to find online but it's out there. Phatt is also one of the many nicknames Richard has had over the years, with that spelling (technically he added a "Q" at the end later but that's another tale for another time). Richard has been working around the clock at a radio station during the shutdown and still finds time to get this podcast produced and ready for us to release. Phatty-Q this one's for...

#129 The Continuing Quarantine Chronicles
4/20/2020
We continue the Quarantine Chronicles series by digging a little deeper into the effects of the shut down on bars and restaurants. We talk about the ridiculous show on Netflix about a craft brewery, spoiler alert: it's god awful. Beers were consumed, Richard chimes in from the road, Rob drops some Stone 4/20 brewing science, JR found a Public Enemy sample, and Ryan Egan keeps everyone on task.

#128 Craft Beer In These Uncertain Times
4/15/2020
In these uncertain times, we at Fear of a Craft Beer Planet want you to know that we're here for you. We're tirelessly drinking beer and creating content in our pajamas to provide you with the finest quality of drunken audio silliness. Here is a fine example of that in a couple quick segments. The first segment is with us, we get into the New Pearl Jam album, discuss the Waldo's, and their connection to the Dead and the 420 myth. Second segment features our pal Cully Naramore from Tree House...

#127 A Band Of Brothers
4/6/2020
In segment one we explore what was basically the last live show anyone attended. Life long friend and listener to the podcast Keith Oltman celebrated his 45th birthday at MSG for the Brother's Show. It turned out to be an incredible show and Keith gives us his rundown of the show and what the vibes were like inside MSG that night.
On Segment two we welcome our West Coast brothers Aaron and Apple from the No Simple Road Podcast! We break down the current state of national affairs we now find...

#126 It Only Took A Global Pandemic, But Here We Are...
3/30/2020
So it took a global pandemic and some crafty manipulation of online meeting apps that we've all been using for work, but WE DID IT! We recorded an episode virtually! It's been 4 long months since we released anything and all that gets explained through the episode. The world is a FAR different place now than it was the last time we recorded an episode, both globally and personally for all of us. We discuss how the current world situation is impacting the beer world, Ryan Egan's home brewing...

#125 We Used To Love The Black Crowes
11/22/2019
With the official announcement of the "New Black Crowes" tour dates, we had some things to say about it that weren't exactly.... glowing. We drank an English Barleywine from 2014, a new Tonewood beer, and the world's most perfect beer, Sierra Nevada Celebration.

#124 The Underground Bunker Studio
11/4/2019
This one was recorded in an underground bunker studio in an undisclosed location for no real reason. Richard introduces us to Black Stag Brewing, we crack a couple Victory beers, and a sour from Edmund's Oast. We discuss the new book by Steve Gorman called Hard To Handle: The Life And Death Of The Black Crowes and the eerie similarities between the Black Crowes and the band Rob and Jay Rose were in together. Other than the being famous and successful part, the similarities run deep. Also,...

123 You've Got Questions, We've Got Answers (sort of) Live from the Tonewood Brewing operations office
10/14/2019
Some of you may have noticed we took a break! We did, and it was longer than we had intended. We go through what caused the break, what made it a really long break, we get reacquainted with each other and with beer in general (for one of us). Sometimes you need a break and we definitely needed a break. It'll all make sense when you listen. Thanks for sticking around and giving a hoot about us and this beer-soaked circus we call a podcast.

#122 Down on the Farm With Hilary and Blair from Rabbit Hill Farm and Malt House
8/13/2019
Hilary Barile and Blair Bakker are 5th generation farmers at Rabbit Hill Farms in Shiloh NJ. For 4 generations Rabbit Hill was known for their Jersey Fresh potatoes. As American diets started shifting away from carbs, potatoes started feeling the pinch and Rabbit Hill had some decisions to make. At the same time, Hilary and Blair started noticing craft breweries and distilleries sprouting up in every direction in NJ. They had a brainstorm to grow barley, malt it themselves, and sell it to NJ...

#121 Founders Brewing Wrap-Up With Natalie Crystal from Founders
7/29/2019
After we hung out with Dave Engbers and and Bob Kaiser on the phone in the last episode, we wrapped up the calls live with Natalie Crystal, New Jersey and Delaware Area Sales Manager for Founders. You’ll notice Natalie took the place of our host Jay Rose for this episode, he was VERY BUSY and had to hurry out the door after the phone calls. Nat does an awesome job mixing it up with Rob and Richard while opening a few heavy hitters from Founders including Mas' Agave, Blushing Monk, and Barrel...
