Hopologist Beer Talk Radio

I've been absent for a few weeks dealing with things in my own head and using my "perfectionist" ways as an excuse to not put out content. Still trying to find my groove but I thought I would record while I sat outside drinking a beer. I'm all over the place in this one but I hope you enjoy. Also, as mentioned in the pod, I will be doing an episode with multiple guests talking about brewery acquisitions and the term "craft beer." If you'd like to join in on the conversation you can send me a message on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram (@hopologist) or send me a voice message on the Anchor app. What does "craft beer" mean to you? Do you care where your beer comes from or who owns it? Have you denounced any "former craft breweries?" Any thoughts in general on brewery acquisitions? Thanks for listening!

In this re-recording I give you 11 tips on surviving Beer Fests! Beer fests are a great way to try a lot of different beers in one space and mingle with like-minded, beer-centric people. You can also meet and talk with distributors as well as representatives from multiple breweries. My first beer fest was a blast but had I followed these guidelines, I would have had an even better time. Learn from my experiences and grab the beer fest by the horns ... or the glass. You know what I mean. If you have any comments, questions or suggestions for future posts, hit me up on Instagram, Facebook, Snapchat or Twitter (@hopologist). Would love any feedback. Thank you for tuning in. Cheers!! --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/hopologist/support

Greetings, my little beer foam bubbles!!! In this episode I talk about a few ways to try new beer. This is a re-recording of Episode 3 with more clarity and some more concise information. There are millions of beers (millions? Hm. Probably) out there and it can be a little intimidating navigating the liquor store or even a good craft beer bar. I give you some tips to help ease the process. Have other suggestions (I'm sure I forgot something)? Let me know on Twitter, Instagram or Facebook @hopologist. Thank you for listening!

Greetings! In this episode I talk about IBUs (International Bitterness Units) and why you shouldn't pay attention to them. Before that I try 3 beers from the German brewery Krombacher (Pils, Weizen and Dark) and rant about New England-style IPAs. For this podcast I got information from one my favorite books, Tasting Beer by Randy Mosher as well as The Oxford Companion to Beer (it's legit a beer encyclopedia) edited by Garret Oliver.  Would love to hear your feedback!  Comment on the anchor app or hit me up on Instagram, Facebook, or Twitter @hopologist Cheers!! EDIT: In the episode I mention that Krombacher is Germany's best-selling brand.  They are actually Germany's best-selling PREMIUM Brand.  --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/hopologist/support
