Look, if you don’t care about my thoughts on Rob Reiner, feel free to fast-forward 11 minutes. In this ep, Bryan and I talk more about our time at Edge Brewing, plus we get into some pretty hot and heavy Torres talk (IYKYK). Bryan also walks us through some pretty amazing barrel-aged beers that he brewed at Sockeye in Friday Night Pints. Join Sockeye’s Amazing Chronicles Barrel Aged Beer Club!

Bryan came into my life at a weird time. Our head brewer at Edge, Kerry Caldwell, had just gotten injured on the job, and we needed some reinforcements. My suggestion: bring in a hired gun from Utah to get us through our production run while Kerry recovered in the hospital. If I only could have known how wrong I was. Bryan came in and gave it his all. Almost 10 years later, he is a brewer at one of Idaho’s great breweries, making a name for himself with amazing beers and helping Sockeye build the best barrel aging program in the state. I’m happy to call him a friend and proud of what he’s accomplished. Now you get to hear all about it in part 1 of a 2-part epic podcast with Bryan Garcia-Brown.

Western Collective owners Cary Prewitt and Melissa Levick reportedly bolted Boise in the middle of the night to Phoenix, of all places. They left behind a brewery, some old furniture, and almost $800k in unpaid bills. I go over the excellent Boise Dev article, what it means for our local beer community, and wild speculation on what they are up to in Arizona. It’s a mini-episode of the Idaho Booze Podcast!

Sorry for the tardiness of the pod this week, we ran into those dreaded technical difficulties. Luckily, we were able to scrape together a pod for you that does not include any guests, but does include a lot of beer reviews!
