Dirigible Brewing Co

What is Steam Punk? Steampunk is a genre of science fiction where the world never really progressed past steam technology. It focuses on the hand crafted or man-made, instead of more industrial practices. Co-owners of Dirigible Brewing Co. Colin Knirk and Chris Loring have created a Brewery/Tap Room located in Littleton Ma that features beer and hard seltzer, but also non-alcoholic offerings such as craft sodas, coffee, and flavored seltzers. One of our favorite part of this brewery is the taproom which features a ton of Steampunk Elements and not to mention a wide variety of tabletop and strategy games.

We hope you enjoy this weeks episode!

The Girls Brewery

It all started with a dream, couple of pots, a stovetop, a bucket, some hoses, and of course malt,hops, and yeast. That concoction would prove to be the tipping point that thrust us into the endless possibilities of the craft brew world. In a small apartment in Boston we stumbled through the instructions, of course adding our own twists on the recipe like a couple of dark chocolate bars and vanilla beans to add flavor to our stout. We felt like mad scientist!

Many years have pasted since that fist brew day in that tiny kitchen in the city. Our founder, has spent over a decade working in the Brewery industry before eventually deciding to open up his own. Sometime over those years some of us became mothers and fathers. All of us strive to create a better tomorrow for our children and loved ones.

Let’s make a better today! We have the opportunity to elevate

the lives of our Mothers and Daughters right now.

Being kind and helping each

other rise up seems like a good place to start.

This weeks guest started like many of our other guests with a dream and probably a couple ruined stove tops.

Founder Bob Pepin of The Girls Brewery is taking a different approach to getting his name out across the state of Massachusetts.

He calls The Girls Brewery a nomadic brewery with the dream of opening a brick and mortar location near Bridgewater.

Listen and enjoy!

Daydreaming Brewing Co.

Andy and Alana have been promoting and elevating the New Hampshire craft beer scene for nearly the last eleven years. It all started with their beer bar Cask & Vine, which focused on small batch craft beer, and being a location which provided an avenue for local breweries to experiment with base beers and/or try their hand at cask ales.

The duo then decided to take the plunge and open in April of 2020 Daydreaming Brewing Co. This brewery has made a name for themselves by brining the London pub experience back to New Hampshire, complete with “proper” English pints.

We had a lot of fun with Andy and Alana and we know you’ll fall in love with them just like we did. Plus try and figure out when they both sleep with all the projects they are involved with.

Make sure to check out Daydreaming in historic downtown Derry NH you’ll know they are there by the giant Derry Mural!

Penny Pinchers

One of our favorite things about interviewing nano-breweries is that they're small enough to test and try new things. Jay over at Penny Pinchers loves to explore new flavors what that means for us every time we stop by Penny Pinchers we get to try a new great beer. While Jay is known for pushing the limits with his beer that doesn't mean he doesn't do everything possible to make sure the beer being served is perfect for their patrons. This episode is a lot of fun and if you heard our interview with them during the Mass Brewers Guild Freshman class you're in for almost a completely different story but isn't that what craft beer is , alway evolving.

This week we had the pleasure of sitting down with Dropkick and Doc from Lithermans Limited in Concord New Hampshire. Lithermans started out in a garage like many other breweries and evolved into a staple in the NH beer scene. Similar to Lithermans humble beginning we hear of how Dropkick went from a volunteer at the brewery cleaning Kegs to New Hampshire’s Brew of the Year . This episode really just showcases how cool the NH beer scene is and how Lithermans is one of the breweries leading the way.

After years brewing beer that they didn't love to drink at a now defunct Boston based brewery and wanting to do things their way, Barewolf Brewing was born. This 4,000 square foot slice o’ paradise (as they call it) in downtown Amesbury Ma is where you can enjoy a plethora of different types of beer that you likely will never have that same beer ever again. This exciting model keeps their patrons coming back for more and keeps the brewers always looking for what's next.

Turtle Swamp Brewing

Jamaica Plain has a vast history in brewing, as the water from the aquifer along the Stony Brook River was some of the freshest and cleanest around; and the relatively cheap land. This made for the perfect marriage for Jamaica Plain to have nearly 24 breweries around the early 1900. Fast forward to 2021 we're talking with Turtle Swamp who is right in the middle of JP is one of the few in the area. Owners John Lincecum and Nicholas Walther want to add to the history of JP and were quoted saying “We both love Jamaica Plain, and the fact we own a brewery right in our own neighborhood means we can add to the history. But we chose to work and live here because of what JP is now — a diverse, exciting, livable community." Hear the story of Turtle Swamp Brewing on this weeks episode.

Tap Brewing Co.

In the heart of Haverhill, Massachusetts, right on the banks of the mighty Merrimack River resides a brew pub, called the Tap Brewing Co.

“The Tap”, has been around since the late 19th Century originally as a restaurant and bar, but is now a beloved brew pub. The Tap has had a pretty impressive lineage of brewers pass through their door like Jon Curtis and Tod Mott. Keeping the tradition of excellence and consistency in the beer is important to current head brewer, Jason Barnum. We talked to Jason this week who started as a patron at the Brewery and ultimately worked his way up to being the Head Brewer. Conveniently for us, Jason’s unique position in being a frequenter of the Tap, before working there and being a history buff left us with a great episode that we’re excited to share.

It’s no secret the Brew Roots crew loves Lagers and Pilsners so it makes sense that Brewery Silvaticus is on the top of the list as one of their collective favorite breweries. This brewery in Amesbury Ma is known for their Belgian farmhouse ales and German style lagers.

We had the chance to talk with Jay and Dylan about how both of them share a passion for traditional European style beers, in addition to pushing forward with their barrel aging program and a ton more!

We hope our listeners enjoy this episode and most importantly make their way out to Brewery Silvaticus for a pint or Sound Guy Ryan’s favorite “Das Boot”

Gilded Skull Brewing

Similar to many home brewers, Neil Kade dreamed of having his own brewery one day. Although it’s not exactly the dream he expected, he’s now commercially brewing beer for New England.

We first heard of Neil and Gilded Skull Brewing after our friends the Mass Brew Bros. wrote this article in February 2019 and their follow up article released just a couple weeks ago.

In the article we found that not only was Neil trying to launch Gilded Skull Brewing but he was also diagnosed with a rare form of liver cancer and fighting for a future. Neil was quoted saying “all we wanted was normalcy, to start our family and build this little beer project into a brewery.”

Flash forward to the present, after successful surgery and a grueling 12 months of chemotherapy Neil is currently cancer free and he and his wife are expecting a child in a few weeks. On top of everything, Neil is in the middle of releasing his first beer, Gilded Empire, a 7.2% ABV New England IPA featuring Citra, Cashmere, and Lotus hops along with spelt and flaked oats.

Topics range from how they have adapted to the current climate to their views outlooks on the current situation, and what the future might look like.

As the Mass Brew Bros put so eloquently: “We caution readers and listeners, however, not to draw too many conclusions on what other breweries may be experiencing, or the fate of the industry as a whole, based on this sampling. It’s simply a series of snapshots that reveal what some in the local industry are currently dealing with”.

Anyone can call themselves an expert on beer. But when consumers want great beer they need help from a server who really knows beer flavors, styles, and service.

They also want to buy beer from a place that understands proper storage and serving so the beer they drink will taste the way it should. Too often great beer is harmed by improper handling and service practices.

In the wine world, the word "sommelier" designates those with proven expertise in selecting, acquiring and serving fine wine. At one time, some beer servers adopted the title "beer sommelier" to tie into the credibility of the wine world. But in the years since its founding, the Cicerone® Certification Program has become the industry standard for identifying those with significant knowledge and professional skills in beer sales and service.

The Cicerone Certification Program offers independent assessment and certification so that industry professionals—as well as consumers—can be sure of the knowledge and skills possessed by current and prospective beer servers.

Herb Lindtveit

Earlier this week scrolling through our feeds on social media we read about the passing of Herb Lindtveit.

For those who do not know Herb.

He was more than the brewery facilities manager at Jack’s Abby; he was the keystone that held these walls together, an educator that never stopped sharing his knowledge and passion, and a family man that was loved by all, not just those related by blood. Herb leaves behind a wife and four children.

Since Herb’s passing we’ve seen countless posts honoring him and thanking him for his contributions to our beloved industry.

Despite never having the pleasure of meeting Herb directly, this loss hit us hard, we kept thinking how can we help?

Well we found out earlier in the week that Jack’s Abby is going to be brewing a beer in commemoration of Herb. At the request of the family, Jack’s Abby will be releasing a limited edition lager, In Herb We Trust.

All proceeds will be going directly to supporting the Lindtveit family.

Here’s the website to buy the beer: https://shop.jacksabby.com/collections/hats/products/in-herb-we-trust-memorial-beer

Jack’s Abby is throwing a Memorial Celebration on April 14th from 4pm-8pm at Springdale, where folks can pick up the beer that they pre-ordered:

In addition he released his single 'Needs vs Wants' on Nick Cannons Wildstyle Champs Album that also received notable attention. He continued to make a name for himself performing at numerous venues, such as The Underground Showdown opening up for Joe Budden and Talib Kewli.

Ryan is a Sound Designer and Composer for Theater. He believe sound is a crucial part of the story telling process. Instead of seeing things that accentuate the story such as lights, costumes, scenery, and props, you hear it. As part of his designs he believes composing music is the best way of telling a story. Why grab something that someone has already written for a different purpose when you can create the sound palette from scratch in order to shape the story that the Director and the other story tellers want to tell.

Liars Bench

The wait is over! We are finally revealing our new host!

But before we do, we have some sad news. Our beloved co-host Emily will be stepping away from the podcast. Emily has helped in countless ways bringing the podcast to the place it is today. Without Emily's contributions, Brew Roots as you know was not possible, and for that, we are forever grateful.

Luckily, for us, Emily will continue to contribute to the podcast for the foreseeable future.

As always, with bad news comes good news.

This week we announce our new host Erika Anderson! Erika coming on board was an extremely easy decision to make, as her resume speaks for itself. Not only is Erika an avid homebrewer, she manages a Beer and Wine Hobby Store, is a member of Pink Boots Society and is respected in the Massachusetts Beer Scene. So welcome Erika to the podcast!

Now on to the episode!

Matt sat down and shared a beer with Dane and Dagan co-owners at Liars Bench. The duo became friends quickly at college in New Hampshire and after graduation both Dane and Dagan settled on different coasts which unbeknownst to the duo laid the foundation of what became Liars Bench. Sit back and crack a beer and listen to the story of Liars Bench.
