Pubcast Worldwide

It’s time to crack a beer and dust off that passport because the Pubcast is back and we’re heading to Romania! We traveled there during the holidays in December 2019, so it’s time to revisit some winter warmers and international beverages in general.

In this episode, we sit down with Ioana Coca and Laurentiu Mandrila, Co-Owners and Brewers at Oriel Beer in Bucharest. We discuss their focus on Belgian beers, the Romanian craft beer community, and their very creative and often non-traditional barrel-aging program.

Interested in following your artistic passion? Write (or brew) for a target audience. That’s what Kenny Gould did when he wrote his new book The Brewing Cloud, a collection of fictional short stories about the craziness of the craft brewing industry.

Kenny is most known in the craft beer world as the founder of Hop Culture Magazine, an online resource for news across the brewing industry. In this episode, we talk about the early days of Hop Culture, Kenny’s lifelong dream of writing fiction, and some bigger topics within the current craft beer landscape.

It’s been awhile! We’re back with another round of new episodes, but first, let’s address the elephant in the “brew”…

Cerveceria Kross has been defining Chilean craft beer since 2003. Since then, the Chilean craft beer scene has evolved, but so has Kross. They now have a full lineup of traditional and experimental craft beers, and KrossBar locations throughout Santiago.

We ventured over to KrossBar Bellavista to drink and discuss their traditional flight of beers and discuss some of their crazier craft beer concoctions. From tropical IPAs to Scotch ales aged in Chilean Carmenere wine barrels, Kross continues to lead the way in Chilean craft beer, and you’ll get a small taste of that in this special South American edition of “Flight School.”
