Hop Talk

It's officially one year of Hop Talk! It's been great doing these past 52 episodes and we can't wait to bring you even more about craft beer, the people who make it and the people who drink it! We celebrate this week over four delicious beers sent by Ingenious Brewing, and discuss Pastrytown. Visit www.snobeery.com for more photos and info on this episode.

We've finally gotten some homebrewers on the show! For this special episode we are joined by the minds behind the Back to Basics series of homebrewed collaborations with established brewers around the US. This is the most people we've had on one episode in my house! Visit www.snobeery.com for more photos and info on this episode.

We've done a lot of location or brewery specific episodes lately so we're switching it up with a style-focused one! Blake and I have some new sour IPAs and see just how different beers of this style can be. Visit www.snobeery.com for more photos and info on this episode.

Skeleton Key is back! The 2018 variants of this rum barrel-aged spiced stout are all brewed with vanilla, and come with some interesting flavor profiles. This week we're talking Shrek and NYC Beer Week! Visit www.snobeery.com for more photos and info on this episode.

Blood Brothers is a Toronto brewery I haven't tried in a long time, so I made sure to bring back a couple beers from my most recent trip up North! There are definitely some curious flavors going on this week, including a spicy beer! Visit www.snobeery.com for more photos and info on this episode.

My friend Nathan joins us for another guest episode, this time featuring beers from his homestate of Georgia! He clues us in on the Georgian beer scene, gives some food recommendations and explains the Super Bowl to Blake and me. Visit www.snobeery.com for more photos and info on this episode.  

It's always great to have a guest on the show, especially if they're a visitor from the UK bringing us some Tired Hands beer! Neil AKA the lowendbeery was in town and insisted Carl finally have a milkshake on the show! Visit www.snobeery.com for more photos and info on this episode.

Evil Twin is finally opening (or is about to open) in NYC! I recount my experience trying their new beers in Ridgewood, Queens and Blake explains his beef with Kolsch beers over their first can release. Visit www.snobeery.com for more photos and info on this episode.

Time for some cinnamon stouts! Blake and I crack open some bottles (and a can) of some delightfully spiced brews, and figure out which is the cinnamon-iest! We also talk gruit and the origin of Russian Imperial Stouts. Visit www.snobeery.com for more photos and info on this episode.

On my most recent Toronto trip I paid a visit to baseball-themed Left Field Brewery, and brought back some beers to share! Crack one open as we have some of their latest stouts and as Carl gives me the scoop on the Other Half NYE party. Visit www.snobeery.com for more photos and info on this episode.

Jester King is The Beer Trekker's favorite brewery, and he returns to the show with Kevin Boyd AKA Drinking Craft to have some delicious tart brews! There's also a good amount of AB InBev talk in this one, and an exclusive about an exciting international beer competition! Visit www.snobeery.com for more photos and info on this episode.
