Beer gurus Augie Carton (Carton Brewing) and John Holl (author of Drink Beer, Think Beer: Getting to the Bottom of Every Pint) get to the bottom of the day’s most pressing craft beer issues with help from opinionated brewer friends, know-it-all barkeeps, and smarmy industry insiders. For each episode, Augie and John will blind-taste and dissect two beers on air (provided by that episode’s guest) while discussing current beer topics, news, and styles.
Episode 500 - Connor Casey, Cellarmaker Brewing
Happy Monday, Thieves! Episode 500 is here. We had no real plan for this and it kind of snuck up on us, or at least me (Justin), because I made a numbering error a couple months ago that someone noticed and alerted Augie to it. I went back and corrected everything and, lo-and-behold, here we are at 500. It’s with a fun guest, Connor of Cellarmaker, who we’ve been trying to get on the show for many months now, but due to scheduling conflicts and time zone differences, we’re just now making happen. And it’s episode 500, killer! We’re happy Connor is here and we’re happy you are too. Thanks for coming along with us this far. Tune in and let us know what you think!

Episode 498 - IPA Malt Show with Don Tse and RahrBSG
Happy Monday, Thieves! A few months ago, we had a letter about RahrBSG’s Gambrinus IPA Malt on the show. This led us to phone up Don Tse on the spot for some analysis. Turns out, the Rahr guys were listening to the show and reached out to Augie and Don for a friendly collab. Naturally, we asked them to come on the show on the brew day et voila, this week’s episode was born. Tune in and let us know what you think!

Episode 490 - Sean O'Keefe, Pontoon Brewing
Happy Monday, Thieves! Our final Rochester show drops today. We’re welcoming Sean O’Keefe of Pontoon Brewing. This episode was recorded on our third day in the city, and mere hours before the Luau began. Sean is the founder of Pontoon Brewing, who had to close his doors earlier this year after a mess with a distributor partner, and has now reopened and is getting sold ground under the brewery. He talks about it all in a very candid way. (Sorry, no Will Cleveland on this one.) Tune in and let us know what you think!
