Episode 363: Stop me if you’ve heard this before, but we’re BACK! We’re back, AGAIN! Seriously, though, we mean it this time. Changes for the good are happening with the show, and we even have a new member of the 4B crew!
Let us just jump right in: We have a new member of the show, Joe Senigaglia from Jow’s Arcade! Tim has left the show to travel and live the ultimate Tim-Mather-lifestyle with his family, which we’re both envious of and very supportive of. We love you, Tim!
We then got on with the show and took a nose-dive into some awesome brews from Green Cheek Beer Co.. We discussed several of their standout beers, such as “Nectaron,” a hoppy Pilsner, and “Nelson!! (It’s What We Like Here),” an IPA that showcases those awesome New Zealand hops called Nelson. As we wrapped up the podcast, we reflected on the current trends within the craft beer industry, particularly the move away from highly bitter IPAs to beers that emphasize complex flavors and aroma, while also not destroying your palate.
Outline:
- Announcement of personnel changes, with Tim leaving and Joe Senigaglia joining.
- Joe discusses his YouTube channel, Jow’s Arcade, and the impact of YouTube algorithms on viewership.
- In-depth look at Green Cheek Beer Company, including its various locations and specific beers they are known for.
- Commentary on the effects of corporate acquisitions on the craft beer industry.
- Discussion on the evolution of beer styles and market trends, particularly the rise of hazy IPAs.
