Episode 16 - Burnt Chimney Brewing Company

On our first ever out of state podcast, we traveled to Forest City, North Carolina where we were able to sit down and have a chat with Burnt Chimney Brewing Company head brewer, Ben Frankoski, his wife (head of quality control), Jamie Frankoski, and the man responsible for the label graphics, Chad Gordon.

Join us as we taste some delicious Burnt Chimney brews while learning how Ben got started in home brewing. We also discuss the thoughts behind the label graphics, and learn about what we have to look forward to in the future when Burnt Chimney Brewing Company becomes a destination location in Forest City, North Carolina. We certainly can't wait until our next visit so we can (fingers crossed) visit their brewery and enjoy some of these craft beers on tap!

Episode 13 - Beer Tasting at Moontown Brewing Company

On this episode of 'Out Here Having a Pint', we drove out to Moontown Brewing Company in Whitestown Indiana. There we met up with Jeremiah Tyson and Trey Strukel of Circle City Zymurgy which is a very known home-brew club in Indiana.

Our mission was to sit down with a flight and give Moontown a go to see if we would have a pint of their beers or if we would pass. By no means were either one of us a BJCP judge, so take our opinions with a grain of salt. With that said, together we were in company with experienced brewers for sure!.

Come have a listen as we talk through the styles and brewing processes while we drink on Moontowns finest!

Cheers!

Episode 12 - Cedar Creek Brew Co

On Episode 12, we visit Cedar Creek Brew Co in Martinsville, Indiana where we speak with Brandon Fry and one of his crew mates Mike to discuss the many beers that they have on tap as well as trying some barrel aged additions.

Cedar Creek is a special place where not only do they brew beer, but they are also a winery and distillery.

As we deep dive into a flight, we ask Brandon a number of questions around his start in the brewing world as well as the continued vision that he and owner Bryce Elsner has in store this year.

If you visit Cedar Creek, be sure to grab a pint of their award winning Breakfast Stout that was indeed very tasty.

You will find the OHHAP crew hanging out here quite often, and if you're ever in the neighborhood, we recommend you do so too.

Cheers!

Episode 9 - Function Brewing

Still recovering from the flu, Kevin and Kelsy were out having a pint (and flight) at Function Brewing in Bloomington, Indiana. There, they spoke with the owners Arlyn and Steve Llewellyn to discuss their great food menu as well as their excellent craft beer! 

Arlyn sat down with us first and spoke about her vision on creating a great menu that pairs perfectly with the beer as well as how she got started building a brewery with her husband Steve.

Later during the interview, Steve came from down in the basement where that magic brewing happens and spoke with us about his brewing process. 

In our opinion, they have the two things that they claim is King in Btown. Their Tangent IPA and their hot Smokehouse sandwich!

Cheers!

On this episode, we attended a Tasting Society event that was held at The Hatch in Indianapolis, hosted by Indiana on Tap. This sold out event featured homebrewers only, from the widely known homebrew club, Circle City Zymurgy.

John Moorhead of the AHA

On this episode, we interview John Moorhead of the American Homebrewers Association. Now John may have been on a speaker phone because the audio is muffled (is that a word?), however it's the content that matters for home brewers.

So, relax, don't worry, have a home brew while you listen!

Mic Check at 21 North Eatery and Cellar

Mic check..., 1, 2, 1, 2.....Bueller!!


Hey there, in what we're calling Episode 0, we interviewed the owners (Tony and Connie Musgrave) at 21 North Eatery and Cellar in Martinsville, Indiana. While on location, we discussed their fantastic restaurant and asked how craft beer is impacting the business.

It was a fun night and we were ready for any audio issues the next morning. This was the first time that we were in the field with our new equipment. We did have the mic volume up a tad too much in the beginning, but we were able to bring the audio down as much as we could without degrading the quality in post editing.
