What the hell is up with Tom's voice?! He finally found out what the deal is and decided to share the news with everyone. Is it true that Other Half is expanding....again?! A brewery that is run by active rival gang members...yep we don't know how that works either but it sounds intriguing. A couple who recently split up is opening a new brewery together! Reunited and it feels soooo...awkward. Plus, Rob from The Hazeboiz calls in to discuss a recent IPO of Armed Forces Brewing in Annapolis,...

"New Money" Tom and Dan "The Adjunct Professor" sit down with Phil (an actual professor) and Kyle, owners and brewers at Obercreek in Wappingers Falls, NY.

ATB sits down with Mike, proprietor of Bradley Brew Project, and very special guest Al Dukes, producer extraordinaire at WFAN.

You might be saying...how, what, or why right about now. That's right, you read the title correctly, Dan and Tom had the opportunity to interview Craig Melvin of NBC. Craig invited the fellas over for a few beers and a bunch of laughs. Many people may not know this but Craig was a home brewer in his younger years and has a passion for the craft.

This well timed interview marks the one year anniversary of the Black Is Beautiful initiative which was started by Marcus at Weathered Souls. The boys dig in deep with Marcus on a...

A WARNING TO OUR LISTENERS: Some of the content in this episode can be difficult to hear. Some of the biggest names in craft beer have stepped down this past week amidst allegations of sexual harassment and workplace discrimination. Unfortunately, Tired Hands was a brewery that consistently came up in these allegations and they are local to our craft beer community. For this reason, Dan and Tom made the decision to read prepared statements from a number of former employees of Tired Hands....

WHEW 50 Episodes...where did the time go?! ATB hosted "Uncle Dino", proprietor of Vitamin Sea Brewing, in Episode 50.

Also discussed in this episode, those tasty little 8oz cans from Evil Twin, the recent events surrounding abuse and discrimination in the craft...
