What is Steam Punk? Steampunk is a genre of science fiction where the world never really progressed past steam technology. It focuses on the hand crafted or man-made, instead of more industrial practices. Co-owners of Dirigible Brewing Co. Colin Knirk and Chris Loring have created a Brewery/Tap Room located in Littleton Ma that features beer and hard seltzer, but also non-alcoholic offerings such as craft sodas, coffee, and flavored seltzers. One of our favorite part of this brewery is the taproom which features a ton of Steampunk Elements and not to mention a wide variety of tabletop and strategy games. We hope you enjoy this weeks episode! Cheers Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

It all started with a dream, couple of pots, a stovetop, a bucket, some hoses, and of course malt,hops, and yeast. That concoction would prove to be the tipping point that thrust us into the endless possibilities of the craft brew world. In a small apartment in Boston we stumbled through the instructions, of course adding our own twists on the recipe like a couple of dark chocolate bars and vanilla beans to add flavor to our stout. We felt like mad scientist! Many years have pasted since that fist brew day in that tiny kitchen in the city. Our founder, has spent over a decade working in the Brewery industry before eventually deciding to open up his own. Sometime over those years some of us became mothers and fathers. All of us strive to create a better tomorrow for our children and loved ones. Let’s make a better today! We have the opportunity to elevate the lives of our Mothers and Daughters right now. Being kind and helping each other rise up seems like a good place to start. This weeks guest started like many of our other guests with a dream and probably a couple ruined stove tops. Founder Bob Pepin of The Girls Brewery is taking a different approach to getting his name out across the state of Massachusetts. He calls The Girls Brewery a nomadic brewery with the dream of opening a brick and mortar location near Bridgewater. Listen and enjoy! Cheers Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast.

That is who our guest this week pays homage to with their name Able Ebenezer. This local brewery in Merrimack NH is veteran owned and operated, the team produced everything on site with a 10 barrel brew house. We got the chance to talk to Mike who fell in love with craft beer after visiting Stone Brewing. When given the opportunity to build a brewery of his own with a buddy from his Army days (Carl), he sold everything that didn't fit into the back of his pickup truck, including his beloved motorcycle, and moved to New Hampshire.

Rob and Lisa North from Great North Ale Works are our guest this week and it is safe to say they are probably the nicest people we've encountered on this journey. It's probably cause they're Canadian, it's definitely cause they're Canadian. This dynamic duo focused on making Great North Aleworks goal's to be craft flavorful, food friendly beers, while maintaining a fanatical devotion to quality. Safe to say they've done that. The pair who have roots strong within the New Hampshire beer scene back starting in 2007 as members of "Brew Free or Die". Then fast forward to 2010 when Rob won the Samuel Adams Patriot Homebrew Competition, from there well we will let them tell the rest of their story. Cheers.

Andy and Alana have been promoting and elevating the New Hampshire craft beer scene for nearly the last eleven years. It all started with their beer bar Cask & Vine, which focused on small batch craft beer, and being a location which provided an avenue for local breweries to experiment with base beers and/or try their hand at cask ales.\ The duo then decided to take the plunge and open in April of 2020 Daydreaming Brewing Co. This brewery has made a name for themselves by brining the London pub experience back to New Hampshire, complete with “proper” English pints. We had a lot of fun with Andy and Alana and we know you’ll fall in love with them just like we did. Plus try and figure out when they both sleep with all the projects they are involved with. Make sure to check out Daydreaming in historic downtown Derry NH you’ll know they are there by the giant Derry Mural! Cheers! Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast.

We were lucky enough to talk to one of the OGs in the beer scene Bill Cherry from Switchback Brewing. When Switchback opened initially it was their goal “to brew unexpected, relatable, great tasting beer” safe to say 20 years later they’ve kept true to their goal. The team over a Switchback keeps true to their brewing methods by keeping the beer unfiltered and carbonating it 100% naturally. Not to mention they have probably the largest selection of Smoked Beers we’ve ever seen! This episode has a lot of fun discussions and is a great listens! Cheers!

One of our favorite things about interviewing nano-breweries is that they're small enough to test and try new things. Jay over at Penny Pinchers loves to explore new flavors what that means for us every time we stop by Penny Pinchers we get to try a new great beer. While Jay is known for pushing the limits with his beer that doesn't mean he doesn't do everything possible to make sure the beer being served is perfect for their patrons. This episode is a lot of fun and if you heard our interview with them during the Mass Brewers Guild Freshman class you're in for almost a completely different story but isn't that what craft beer is , alway evolving.
