SHOW INFO: Young and humble, Eric Hild takes us through the paces of brewing five of the top 50 beers (according to Beer Advocate), we discuss the American love for IPA and Stouts on that list, and how far people will come, and how much people will pay, just to drink the beer he makes there.  Eric takes us through the changes COVID has caused their brewery in the back of the house, and what he hopes to see in the future for the brand.  We even learn the history of how their non-chicago beer became the brand for Chicago's Field Museum.

SHOW INFO: Robyn takes us through the laws and regulations of making an Aquavit, the struggles of entering into an industry and competing against all forms of alcohol without most people knowing what kind of alcohol Aquavit is. We chat about the different kind of cocktails you make, moving production from Detroit to Chelsea, and where in the USA the current aquavit craze is hitting a little harder. We taste all three versions of his aquavit including the barrel aged and the Rhubarb, and Ken tries another Michigan Aquavit to see what beer it may pair well with. A lot of liquor knowledge dropped on this episode, and while it's a bit different than our standard beer interview, we learn a lot about the production of this amazing liquor.

SHOW INFO: Joe sits down for an hour long talk, discussing the state of the brewery during COVID and the nasty comments his staff has been recieving from guests unhappy about mask mandates and rules. We ask him to recap his feelings of the industry from 2011 and his goal of keeping the power of smallness even though his staff has gone from 30 to over 150. We bring suggestions about new beer delivery systems including by bungee jumping and growth into bigger markets for a brewhouse. If you're looking for how Joe got into the industry, this show isn't for you. We dig deep this episode to get to the bread and butter that is Short's Brewing.

PODCAST UPDATE: Thank you everyone for listening and joining us on this 5+ year journey.  Our show sure has changed since our very first day and this past year it's gone through many more.  This has allowed us to focus on out-of-state breweries, but we know where we started and how we got to the show.  Starting in 2021 on this feed we will start The Michigan Sessions, which will focus on Michigan breweries both big and small, the ones who got us to where we are today!

SHOW INFO: Recorded live at Griffin Claw Clubhouse in Rochester Hills Michigan, Ian who was back on episode 89 joins us to talk about what he has been up to since the closing of Cellarmen's, he gives advice to young cider makers who want to make cider at home, his moves of making a Baja Blast inspired seltzer, and more.  A wealth of knowledge witha short time, studying what Ian has done in his career will help any cider and mead maker become a better one!

Segment one we come back to a Michigan Brewery who is starting their expansion into Florida, so we bring in Co-founder, Director of Sales & Marketing at Pigeon Hill Brewing Company Michael Brower to chat with us about the brewery including the grand opening of their new auxillary taproom which was opening as we were recording live.  Michael talks about getting into a lawsuit with LMFAO, living in Chicago, and the culture of west Michigan beer.

Segment two we bring in the news including the insurance payment declines of breweries and distributors in Florida with the lack of beer sales at vacation spots like Disney. 

We end the show with our first take on 'King of the Hill', a quick game to end the show that involves Ken questioning the group of hosts to declare the 'winner' of the week!  Who won? You gotta listen to find out

The Michigan Hop Alliance is a large acreage farm up in Leelanau County which is one of the largest independent hop suppliers in the midwest.  Some of the top breweries in the country look to Michigan Hops for the way they're grown, so Mike comes on the show to talk about how reseliant the plant is, what people look for in hops when they're brewing, and what hops can tell us about the beer we're drinking before we even take our first sip.

Mike stays on for segment two as we talk about shower beers and the news of the week.

NOTE- Beginning of the show during the introductions Ken's mic was static-y.  It was fixed about 7 minutes in and was fine the rest of the show.  We apologize that we weren't able to fix it earlier. 

Segment 1 and 2 brought on a little bit of news as we all discussed the changes over the last five years, what COVID has done to alter the community for the rest of our lives, and what we expect to see in the coming year(s).  

Segment 2 Matt Bush surprises us with a 'birthday gift'

Segment 3 brings an over/under game with a lot of participants!

Every once in a while you sit down with someone in the industry and you just let them talk.  Dan Carey of New Glarus is that person.  When he speaks, you listen.  Dan joined us this week to talk about his humble beginnings, and how he's made New Glarus and Spotted Cow the Brewery/Beer of Wisconsin.  He talks about distribution, his choice to concentrate on such a small footprint, and what he learned traveling the world and brewing in another country.  We also learn the furthest his beer has traveled even though you can only get it in Wisconsin right now.  

Segment 2 we talk about the news including Brew Dogs +50% ABV beer, Kristen Bell's kids drinking O'Douls while at 'Zoom School' and we touch a bit more on the age restraints we have in the country vs Europe in drinking.

With the internet back up, we bring in Buck and Cody from Grand Armory to talk about five years brewing in the state of Michigan, the hard times of a tourist town during COVID, and the future plans of distribution of beer!  Cody helps Ken learn the difference between a "Juicy IPA" and a "New England IPA", and Cody/Buck give their opinions of how they judge their fellow breweries.

Segment 2 we discuss news from retirement homes brewing beer to the Surly incident, and discuss in a world where unions are needed in hospitality, is this a clear cut case of retaliation or did COVID kill the Surly Beer Hall.

Segment 3 (for video watchers we forgot to put video back on, sorry), we played Over/Under and Dan's domination of random trivia numbers continues.

A long time in the making, but we have such a great show for you.  We sit down with Jonathan 'Danger' Cole for about two hours talking about his time in the industry and we get to sample five (of the six) upcoming Fury releases from Witch's Hat.  We get a inside perspective of the new laws and changes within the industry as well as get the opportunity to try some more amazing Witch's Hat Beers and to our surprise, Witch's Hat full kitchen of amazing food (don't sleep on the spent grain pretzels).  

We reach topics about beer releases, adjustment due to COVID, and what we as the consumers can do to make things better on the brewers!  That and so much more, so crack open that beer and have a listen!

As we continue to branch off into more non-local non-Michigan breweries, we bring in Jason Brewer (yes, real name) from Listermann Brewing to chat about their well sought after beers, the future of distribution, and working from the ground up at the brewery. We try a few of their beers including Pride which coincides with Cincinatti Pride, and we also talk about the collaboration with our guest for next week, Witch's Hat.

Segment two we go over the news and segment three we bring back the Cameo game but add a little twist to it!

We are live Fridays at 7pm EST on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/betterondraft.

With a short staff this week we bring in Michael and PJ from Saugatuck Brewing to chat about the changes in life since COVID, how they're still pushing out kegs of beer, and what Michiganders look for from breweries outside of the state, and what outside of Michigan drinkers look for in Saugatuck Brewing.  We learn their reach gets all the way to Nevada and Colorado, and PJ talks about the process changes that have occurred recently to keep Saugatuck brewing at full capacity.  We learn how they are a guest brew on-site premise where you can pay to brew your own beer there.

Segment two we talk a little bit about the news including the fines AB Inbev is levied for sponsorship laws broken, Oksar Blues mustard beer, and the aluminum shortage and its effect on all forms of liquid sales and what Coke/Pepsi are already doing proactively.

Wes and Josh from Odd Side Ales join us to chat about the revolution that is seltzer including Odd Side coming into the game hard.  Josh gives us a run down on the transformation of his position during COVID from kegging to packaging nearly all products, and Wes gives us some insight on how breweries get out to other states and how we as Michiganders are true homers and how we treat out of state breweries after they come in.  Josh also gives us an update on the distilling program and goals of Odd Side to double in size in the next 18 months.  

Segment two we play a game with our guests of over/under and continue drinking some amazing Odd Side Seltzers

Segment three we bring in the news to talk about what we need as a state to keep breweries in business and how while the new laws are helping, we need to move faster to getting more laws on the books to support them.

Debi joins us from www.tagabrew.com to tell us the story of how a little keepsake from a brewery turned into this multi-hundred brewery trend where people can go to a brewery and collect a little charm for their attendance. Tagabrew was founded on just promoting the local industry and each other, and as Michigan Beer continues to grow, so does Tagabrew as they reach into over ten different states. Now Debi just keeps up the energy every where she goes while promoting tagabrew and the ambassadors of Tagabrew show their support in our live chat!

Segment two we talk about the news around the beer world including the Stone lawsuit, and segment three we try a new game to test our knowledge of brewery names in the country.

We are live Fridays at 7pm EST on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/betterondraft.  

Chris from The Mitten Brewing Company sits down to talk with us about opening up a brewery, expansion, and the different cultures of working during COVID in three very different cities across Michigan.  He talks to us about the haunted building his Grand Rapids brewery sits in, and that after COVID there is intention of a major Ghost Hunters show to come record there.  While things don't seem to happen until really late into the night, we talk about the belief in ghosts and the spooky things that have happened there.  

Segment 2 Matt joins us early and we play a game.  Wendy tries to get us to guess what beers are real versus what beers are from pop culture.

Segment 3 we chat about the news and go over the Omnipollo Yellow Belly controversy and discuss where (if) the blame should be placed.

Still social distancing but it gives us a chance to bring Andrew in from Secret Hopper, a mystery shopper website that helps breweries better understand what they may be missing on the customer service and atmosphere side of things. We talk about the positives and negatives and bring up a topic of brew hopping while black. We talk about the hate culture in beer and the blog that Andrew wrote last month, and really dive into what we want to see when we get inside a brewery.

Segment 2 we bring up the news and talk about busting up 'big beer', better ways to improve the 3-tier system for everyone (except maybe big beer) and talk about when festivals will probably get back to normal

Segment 3 we brought back the game portion of Better on Draft playing a more card variation of Guesspionage.  Test your knowledge and join us

To no ones surprise, we were not back in the studio this week.  Angie of Fermenta (https://fermentamichigan.org/) and Annette May of Fermenta and School Craft College (https://www.schoolcraft.edu/academics/culinary-arts-brewing-and-distillation-technology/brewing-and-distillation-technology) joined us live to talk about how we can do better to get women into the industry making delicious beer.  We learn about Angie's starts as a lawyer and then keg washer, as she progressed through a handful of well known Michigan breweries.  While she is currently laid off due to COVID, we appreciated the time out of the day she took to tell us about the scholarships that Fermenta offers to get more women into the industry.

Segment 2 we talk about some news including some events that are still going on, we beg you all to wear masks, and we do our best to keep it up beat!

Segment 3 we brought back the game portion of Better on Draft playing a more card variation of Guesspionage.  Test your knowledge and join us

Coming in a few minutes late (we won't hold it against him) Scott Newman Bale joined us to talk about his first major job working for EA, coming to the states and meeting Joe, the cycle of liking and disliking beers, and we get a timer on when we can finally talk about the "Michigan Only, Michigan Forever" ordeal from 2016.  Scott also chats us up about his feelings on some of the new laws including counting tokens, and gives us a play by play what happened the first Psychedelic Cat Grass release.  

Segment 2 we discuss the news including the fact Jobbie Nooner still happened, we talk about if Michigan could ideally go to a 4am bar closing time, and we end talking about everyone's least favorite topics... Masks.

We may be in studio next week.  Stay tuned for updates!

We learned when John Mallett speaks, you listen because he's about to drop some knowledge on you.  We sat down with John for about an hour as we talked about everything from beer, brewery making, craft beer in the 90s, and we lay down the gauntlet challenge as he said he could get any brewery equipment out, and we inform him of former brewery Etouffee, the short lived Brew-Pub above the now permanently closed AMC Star Southfield where rumor has it the brewing equipment was put in before the wall, so it's still sitting there unused!

Segment 2 we talk about the Weathered Souls Brewing Black is Beautiful Collaboration.  You can look up who is doing the collaboration by going to https://blackisbeautiful.beer/ for more details 

Please note Segment 3 is video only!  Head over to our Youtube or Facebook page to see it, and you can join us every Friday at 7pm EST at www.facebook.com/betterondraft

While our guest worked out some technical issues, we went live with just the hosts to talk about what is going on in Michigan as we prepare to re-open and enter the mixture of Phase 4/5 of our plan to flatten the curve.  We were then excited to have Jason Gladfelter, Director of Brewery Mediation Network join us form Denver to chat about his profession and what he does to help breweries succeed without getting pesky lawyers involved!  We chat about the different type of disputes and what to expect as we enter this new chapter into craft brewing and restaurants.  You can check them out at www.ovaloptions.com and contact them for a free consultation by calling or testing (720) 220-8683.

Segment 2 we discuss the news including if you'd hike 2200 miles for beer, and we talk about the Weathered Souls Brewing Black is Beautiful Collaboration.  So far we are aware that North Center Brewing and Brew Detroit are participating and we will update when we hear more Michigan breweries.

John and Bill from Athletic Brewing take the time out of their busy day to chat about NA beers and how the industry is starting to change. We discuss how Bill was looking to remove the alcohol from his life but still wanted to enjoy a flavorful craft beer with his food, and John discusses the intricacies of making NA beer and the very few 'happy' accidents that sadly have to be diluted and poured.

We discuss how Michigan is one of five states that considers NA beer as regular beer, and we announce that Athletic Brewing will be in Michigan starting July 1st.

Segment 2 we discuss the news including (as promised) a lot of upcoming bills in Michigan to update the liquor laws (this is not all of them but many who rely on each other to pass). We also go over the top ten breweries in Michigan by 2019 barrels and look into the future! All of that and more!

We were promised a deep cleaned studio and were the first ones in it, so we trekked to Royal Oak where Ken, Rob, and Wendy chat about what is going on in the industry.  Ken makes his pleas to those who are wondering how they can help, and we talk about how we are all doing during this weird time in hospitality.  We bring in some local beers and toast to some of the great beer makers as they are working their asses off.  Want to help?  We have plenty of links at the bottom that could help whether you're a restaurant or someone with some extra money!  Listen to the show and crack open your favorite brew.  You've earned it.

It feels like it has been forever since we had the opportunity to sit down with John Leone from ROAK, and it was four years ago on Episode 22. No longer the new guy on the block as they enter their fifth year, we take the opportunity to catch up. He brings in new President of ROAK and Dark Horse (now named Michigan Brewers Union) and we get a historical look on his journey through craft beer at Dogfish Head, BrewDog USA, and Virtue Cider. John uses the opportunity to clear the air about some misconceptions happening with the merger of the two breweries, we discuss in short what happened with the Right Brain buyout, and Adam chats about what we should see upcoming for the two breweries in the next few years. We also try some amazing ROAK beer!

Liz and Dani of the Detroit chapter of Girls Pint Out join us to talk about female fans of craft beer, and we learn that all beer is girl beer! We go over some news including some Michigan government updates about token laws and distro, and we try to map out how many beers you would need to drink to be one of Rate Beer's top beer reviewers. We end the show bringing back our favorite Cameo game!

Liz and Dani of the Detroit chapter of Girls Pint Out join us to talk about female fans of craft beer, and we learn that all beer is girl beer! We go over some news including some Michigan government updates about token laws and distro, and we try to map out how many beers you would need to drink to be one of Rate Beer's top beer reviewers. We end the show bringing back our favorite Cameo game!

We go over the life and death of Black Lotus and the last five years with him as the head brewer, what changed, and why the sudden closing.  We learn where the hardware from Black Lotus went (hint, previous guest on Better on Draft), and Nick updates us on his other fermentation work he's been doing as he looks for a new home to brew.

We try his gin he made with Detroit City Distillery and we discuss a bit of news including the hype that is Pliny the Younger in bottles and we do a short dive into the black market of bottle reselling and what brewers feel about it.  Want to learn more about that conversation and what we referenced, check episode 149 with Drafting Table to see what they thought of their beer going for over $200 on the black market.  

Nick is one of our favorite guests to have on the show because he's very opinionated but cares about the industry that he loves and wants to get back to that, so if you're looking for a brewer that can brew you award winning beers, slide into his DMs on Instagram @NickTheBrewer

We may have managed to cram in the most gambling puns into this episode, but Loaded Dice is a gamble that Jef Smith is willing to take.  Setting up in Troy, MI this will be the first (not national chain) brewery the city has seen, and the city is more than excited for it to open up.  Jef talks about home brewing, working in the tech industry, and maxing out information to his guests with the Open Source concept.  Not only will you get to know the ingredients, but you'll know how the process went from start to finish as Jef has plans to not hide any of his work behind closed doors.  

We talk a bit of news to end the show and talk about the things we learned during our dry (or damp) January.  Pop that 40 and hop into this journey of the upcoming 2020 brewery, Loaded Dice.

The final part of our Dry January series, we bring in Eric, former owner of Ellison Brewery to talk about his adventure post brewing, Reputation Beverage, based out of Lansing/DeWitt, Eric has cultivated some of the best tasting NA drinks out there including Citra Hopped Kombucha, Rocky Road Nitro Coffee, and Sparkling Tea.  Many of his products are keto and paleo friendly with many of them coming in at 0 calories (with a whopping 200+mg of coffee).  After he leaves we go over the news, take some super bowl prop bets, and Ken gets on his soap box to talk about what he wants to see in 2020.

Part 2 of our 3 Part Dry January series brings us guests from all over the industry spectrum. We welcome Shannon Long of Brew Export to talk about the NA Trend in the USA and how Europe is already light years ahead of us. Jack of Zetouna Liquor discusses what is moving and what is not over at Zetouna Liquor. And Nick Britsky of Nick Drinks discusses how bars and the industry is moving to almost make it a necessity to have NA 'mocktails' and options for those who choose not to or are unable to drink, but still want to participate in the festivities. We discuss purchasing booze on an ABV/$$ format as well as discuss caloric intake and if these 'lo cal beers' are really healthy. That and more in this two hour extravaganza!

Our writer Ed just can't seem to get enough of the spotlight as he joins us for this episode of Better on Draft.  Ken brings the beer he would chase in studio as he found it while in Oakland California, and special guest Kristi comes in to ask us about some of our favorite hidden gems, and we go off the beaten path with some interesting topics and finally end the show asking how many breweries were there when Better on Draft Started until now (spoiler, both numbers are a lot).  You can find all those breweries at http://mibeermap.com/

As special guest hosts Ed and Wendy come on the show, Jack Zetouna of the (mentioned many times) Zetouna Liquor store in Rochester Hills comes on the show to share some bourbon, some Bourbon County, and his thoughts on the business of pour houses, chasing beers, and the industry as a whole.  We discuss how far you'd go to chase a beer and we break down the time to beer ratio.  

When Wendy invokes Toppling Goliath KBBS, Ken heads over to one of his favorite secondary market websites and plays a game of Price is Right with cost of some Toppling Goliath beers in the secondary market.  

All this and more on episode 203 of Better on Draft

We brought back the guests from episode 100 to chat and give us some updates on the industry.  We talk about the issues with Michigan laws, the kind of party it would be if all the alcoholic guilds of the state got together and threw one big festival, and we discuss some serious solutions the problems we may forsee in the future.  

200 episodes ago I would not have imagined having the following we have today, the friends I've made along the way, and the support from both the fans and industry as we continue to lead as the best Friday night podcast about beer in Metro Detroit!  

So pop that 40 and join us for this very special (and long) episode.

We entered the Griffin Claw Brewery in Birmingham Michigan the night before their Flying Buffalo Release to get a sneak peak at all the flavors of Flying Buffalo.  We discuss the most recent fall beer festival, legislation in the state of Michigan, and drop some huge bombs about the future of Griffin Claw!  Thanks to Shannon from Brew Export for stopping by and being our fourth host as we knew that these beers were going to come in at a high ABV and best to be shared!
