Hop Talk: A Craft Beer Podcast

Hey all - in light of the current pandemic situation we have unfortunately had to postpone the planned episode. However, we do have a little something extra for you guys this week: after the BQE episode Anthony opened up a bottle of the 2019 edition to compare to the 2018s. Join us in this sampler as we try the new formula of the beer and as I try to remember good places to eat in the neighborhood! Visitwww.snobeery.comfor more photos and info on this episode!

Finback Brewery is expanding! The beloved Queens brewery is ramping up for their second location in Brooklyn, and Anthony Totten is here to tell us all about it over some vintage bottles of their biggest series of stouts - the BQE. We discuss the upcoming space (it's more than just beer!), the decision to postpone their first beer festival, and what's next for the BQE series.

Season Three of Hop Talk is here! We jump right into things with a very special guest - or guests, rather: Gage and Nelson from Non Sequitur Beer Project. Join us as we learn about one of NYC's newest breweries and find out what they have in store for the future! Visit www.snobeery.com for more photos and info on this episode!

Season three isn't quite here yet but why not have a little bonus episode in between? The night before Other Half's sixth anniversary was cold and long, but thankfully Carl, Blake and Jen were able to take shelter and open up some Mikerphone brews. This was recorded upstairs from the usual location, and we were all quite tired so get ready for the most informal episode to date! Visitwww.snobeery.comfor more photos and info on this episode - we are behind but will update soon! The next season of Hop Talk is right around the corner!

You might have thought we were gone but we've got one last episode in season two! In this season finale we sample some delicious sours from Hermit Thrush Brewery and catch up after the holidays. Visitwww.snobeery.comfor more photos and info on this episode - we are behind but will update soon!

Justin is back this week toting some Southern Grist! I was very happy to get some exposure to the Tennessee beer scene, as well as a potential peek into the South Korean beer scene. We enjoyed all of the beers we tried, even if one seemed a bit old. Help us identify the mystery cereal!Visitwww.snobeery.comfor more photos and info on this episode - we are behind but will update soon!

We are going back to back with guests with this latest episode! Perry and I are joined by Andrew (AKA Brandspankinbrew on Instagram) who brought over some Burdock Brewery from Toronto. These beers were all delicious and very wine-like! Build yourself a nice charcuterie board and tune in! Visitwww.snobeery.comfor more photos and info on this episode.

We are joined by a very special guest this week! Tune in as we talk with author Joshua M. Bernstein about his latest book Drink Better Beer, which was just released not two months ago, and have a couple beers he brought in to share! Interviews are always better over a drink after all!

We're going back to Georgia this week thanks to Nate, who was on the original GA episode! Perry, Blake and I revisit three out of the four breweries we have on the first episode with some of their latest brews. We also talk about creamy candy and White Claw on this one!

It's Black Tuesday, so what better time to drink a Black Tuesday! In this short Justin and I try the 2017 edition of this classic 19% ABV monster by The Bruery, just in time for the 10th anniversary of the beer and 90th anniversary of the real Black Tuesday.
