However, it wasn't all good news from the legislature. The hosts express significant frustration over the failure of the Hemp Adult Beverage Bill (1556) . Compounded by a recent edict from the Arizona Attorney General demanding the removal of hemp-derived THC beverages from shelves by late April under threat of severe penalties , they discuss the potential negative impact on businesses, the challenges for license holders dealing with patrons consuming unregulated products, and the missed opportunities for regulation and revenue . The episode also covers recent brewery news, including the sad closures of Beer Research Institute (BRI) and Taproom 120 . They reflect on the general challenges facing breweries, such as rising rents, slim margins, and intense shelf competition .

They also touch on upcoming events, including Pint Day and the Arizona Strong Beer Festival. For Rob, the act of meticulously preparing a Thanksgiving turkey, including brining it in beer, represents a cultural tradition passed down through generations. Similarly, the intricate process of making Christmas pudding, with its specific ingredients and the tradition of "stirring Sunday," holds a special significance. These rituals not only preserve culinary traditions but also foster a sense of belonging and continuity within the community.

The limited availability and unique flavor profile of the beer create a sense of anticipation and excitement among beer enthusiasts. The Celly Drippings event, where attendees can sample a special variant of Celebration made from the drained "drippings" of the dry-hopping process, adds another layer to this ritual. Highlights: Rob recounts his trip to Sierra Nevada's Celly Drippings event, discussing the unique Celebration IPA variant and the brewery's hospitality.

This week's podcast episode is a conversation between Andrew Bauman and Hector Martinez, the owner of a beer and wine bar called Hoppy Vine in Oro Valley, Arizona. They discuss the current state of the craft beer industry in Tucson, the challenges breweries face, and the importance of creating a unique experience for customers. Key takeaways: The craft beer scene in Tucson is diverse but faces challenges. While there's a great variety of beers available, some breweries have closed recently. This reflects a nationwide trend of slowing beer consumption, particularly among younger demographics. Successful beer-centric focus on atmosphere, consistency, and variety. Hector emphasizes the importance of creating a welcoming environment, offering a consistently good product, and providing a diverse selection of beverages to cater to different tastes. He also highlights the need to adapt to changing consumer preferences, such as offering non-alcoholic options and ciders. Events are crucial for attracting and retaining customers. Trivia nights, live music, wine tastings, and karaoke are all examples of events that Hoppy Vine uses to draw people in. They discuss how these types of events can help breweries build a loyal customer base and differentiate themselves from the competition. The "if you brew it, they will come" mentality no longer works. With the increasing number of breweries and retailers, it's essential to actively engage customers and offer them more than just a good product. Beer tastings could be a valuable tool for breweries. Similar to wine tastings, beer tastings could provide an opportunity to educate consumers and create a more engaging experience. The conversation also touches on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the industry, the challenges of running a business during an election year, and the importance of partnerships with local businesses. Overall, the podcast provides valuable insights into the craft beer industry and the strategies that breweries and retailers can use to succeed. Want to ask a question on the show?

At the heart of it (and it went unspoken) we are all looking for the reasons why dives or neighborhood places are becoming more popular again. Maybe there are lessons for our breweries back home.

Here on the podcast, we're leveraging AI to write the transcript and the captioning of the show with often terrible results. But there is no denying that we'd be able to produce a pod and videocast without it. We try and correct some of the known issues... it thinks Phoenix is spelled Phenix and Wren House is Red House or Rent House. It seems to also think that we talked about an Obama converter to move podcast subscriptions. We left that Easter Egg in. We used openchat to summarize the transcript and it thought we discussed, "Bunch of Stuff That's Pretty Relevant", so we'll take it. Here's the AI summary: In this session, we covered a wide range of topics related to podcasts, technology, industry events, legislative issues, and organizational initiatives for the Brewers Guild: Consumer Events: We discussed the Baja Beer Festival Brewer lineup and the proposed menu for an upcoming dinner to celebrate Phoenix's sister city Prague. So, there's this dish called "Smažený Sýr," which is basically just fried cheese. You know, they take these cheese slices, coat them in breadcrumbs, and fry them until they're all golden and crispy. It's like the ultimate comfort food, right? Then there's this sausage called "Špekáček," which they probably use in the Amadeus Burger. Can you imagine a juicy burger with a Czech-style sausage in it? Sounds pretty tasty to me! For the main course, they've got "Pečená Kachna," which is duck confit. They slow-cook the duck in its own fat until it's super tender and flavorful. They serve it up with roasted celery root, dill sauce, and bread dumplings. It's like a fancy Czech feast! And last but not least, they've got "Koblihy," which are basically Czech-style donuts. These bad boys are filled with plum jam and sprinkled with sugar. And you gotta have them with a dollop of whipped cream on top, right? It's like a sweet ending to a delicious meal! Podcasts and Technology: The team discussed changes in podcast platforms, such as Google Podcasts, and the need to find alternatives. Mentioned using an "Obama converter" for managing podcast subscriptions and introducing a new app called "Snipd" with AI functions. Industry Events and Initiatives: We attended a restaurant roundtable event discussing website changes and AI applications. Revitalizing the allied member program. Legislative Issues: The challenges in passing a bill related to THC regulation and the impact of dispensaries and regulatory agencies. Community Engagement and Networking: Consideration of organizing conferences or webinars for industry professionals and allied members. Emphasis on face-to-face interactions and social components in organizational activities. Overall, the session highlighted a commitment to improving the organization, engaging with members, and addressing various industry challenges and opportunities. Maybe just listen and don't read!

We explore the decision-making process behind choosing the venue for the proclamation and press gathering, highlighting the bipartisan value of beer and breweries in political discourse. Rob shares his experience at the ABV Dinner in Flagstaff, a 9-course beer-paired dinner benefiting Veterans, sparking a discussion on strategic planning and expanding the reach of Beer Week events to attract a broader audience. We discuss the importance of educating "beer fans" about the event's significance and ensuring inclusivity beyond Metro Phoenix. Looking ahead, we preview the 30th-anniversary celebration for Beaver Street Brewing Company and Flagstaff Brewing Company happening this Friday. Plus, we include a clip from Politics Unplugged to shed light on why Andrew and Rob tune in.

EARLY RELEASE. This is where we are at. The cross roads on the eve of the eve of Arizona Beer Week. One of our biggest events of the year that funds the entire enterprise for the Brewers Guild--Arizona Strong Beer Festival. Our hearts are there. But this is also the time that we have to represent the industry at the state legislature. We normally don't share as much as we have about legislative strategy in real time. We don't often pull the curtains back as much as we have with our events, but we're laying it all out on the line because it's important. we do this for us, but we also do this ALL of us. Our souls are in Arizona. For Arizona. Yes and it will be partly cloudy and 75 degrees. We'll probably interrogate you in line if you look like a golf fan.

We're all familiar with beer sales staff who work on behalf of either a brewery or a distributor, but a new kind of sales position is emerging in Arizona and other parts of the country — a shared salesperson that represents a handful of brands and coordinates with one or more distributors. These "people in our beer neighborhood" are more deeply integrated than the beer brokers of old. We'll explore this new dynamic with Countermeasures Corp (CMC) Regional Business Manager Jennie Stavros and representatives Carmen Rice and Sam Gard.

The Arizona Women's Collaboration Brew Day has a long history of bringing networking, camaraderie, and charitable contributions by women and for women. This year's location was Dragoon Brewing Company in Tucson. The Arizona Beer Frontier team sat down with 2 of the 4 committee members, Sarah Ritchie and Michael Anne Arnce to find out what the experience means to them and their colleagues. The beer produced devotes proceeds to 3 state women's shelters but it means so much more than that. In the second half of the show, we bring in Luke Edward of Yakima Chief Hops to talk about the Pink Boots Blend of hops, hop selection, and the remarkable relationship between selection and sensory from farm to lot to field. And the usual camera failure happens and that Dragoon taproom is a cavern so there is an echo that we tried to mitigate. Finally, the AI captioning is, well, out of control. It cannot distinguish bine from vine and that was a nightmare to edit for captioning. The show transcript is pretty sus too. The captions are derived from the transcript but it's like they use a different algorithm for it. C'mon Premier Pro. Not premiere and not pro!

Get ready for a wild ride through the twisted trails of the World Series Bet beer delivery saga! This beer odyssey began with a detour from Phoenix through Chicago, as if the brews were on a farewell tour. In fact, there were some farewells. It all started with a wake in Ash Fork for an old soul in the industry. A happenstance discussion with the proprietor of Fibber McGees, Matt Brennan led to a trip to Chicago. You see, Matt was once part of the brew team at the original Goose Island Clybourn Brewpub and Sunday was the final day of service before the location moves. Rob got to spend some time with Matt and the old crew. THC beverages hit the Chicago market and were found at Binny's. Off Color Brewing, the Nisei Lounge, and the Beer Temple were visited. Rob and an old homebrew friend visited Metropolitan Brewing for a final time before it closes on December 16th. Smoked beers and classic German Lagers were enjoyed at Double Clutch Brewing. Classic cars with clutches were gawked at. Candy Cane Malort. In Austin, Travis Bailey of the Texas Craft Brewers Guild took Rob on a BBQ pilgrimage to Luling, TX. Live Oak Brewing, Austin Beer Works, Lazuras Brewing, Hold Out Brewing – they drank so many smoked beers, we lost count. Back at the Arizona homestead, Andrew risked engine failure for a double anniversary celebration at Fire & Fury (2nd anniversary) and Desert Monks Brewing (5th anniversary). Because who needs a working engine when there's beer to be had? Was there more... of course.

The Frontier Team is back in the office with Rob returning from the EU. So many things happened in the last 10 days or so in Arizona beer news that we felt it was a good time to catch everyone up before we did a show on Belgium and France. The closures of Lonesome Valley and the announcement of the closure of Flying Basset are disappointing since each had a community that appreciated their businesses. Ad Astra closes shop but will shortly be open under a new name in Tempe. Helton's sale to OHSO will enable OHSO to compete as one of Arizona's largest breweries. We also put the sale in context given OHSO's announced relationship with Hensley as their new distribution partner. Do these moves and closures signal the contraction of our industry or is this part of maintaining an overall brewing eco-system?

We had a plan to cover Rob's time in Belgium and Paris but things don't always work out that way. What was once some video notes for a bigger beer episode, now becomes the show! Rob looks at Consumer Package Goods (CBG) and relates the to beer and brewing. We also looked behind the scenes at Belgian Beer Week in Brussels. Next week we'll wrap up this monster beer trek with the full Frontier Team! We asked the fun duo, wetigersukesongs if we could use their version of Minas de Cobres and they graciously agreed.

S2E65: Things are Nucked up in NJ 1:06:28

With the New Jersey State Senate and General Assembly unanimously passing S3038, it seemed like the odious measures put forth by an out-of-control liquor department last July. After all the agency seemed to lean out of enforcement with the governor's signature seeming inevitable. No. This is New Jersey after all home of the fictional character from Boardwalk Empire, Nucky Thompson (and based on real life New Jersey crime boss and politician Enoch L. Johnson) and something is Nucked up! Learn what happens next as the Governor and agency seem to want to squelch breweries' free speech, fundraising, and ability to raise public awareness as they fight back. The Beer Frontierians explain how all of this relates to Arizona and how a simple drive home from a meeting can get complicated. C'mon Phil. Sign the Bill. Tune into Steal This Beer here: http://www.stealthisbeer.com/episodes with John Holl and Augie Carton.

The North Rim of the Grand Canyon is known for its more remote and tranquil beauty. We'll tell you about the best place to enjoy a beer. (Maybe even from your own porch.) We also discuss the new legislative session even as the current laws from the last session have not gone into effect. Rob has a crazy idea about Shock Top. More politicians are weighing in on the projected grocery merger. Oh, New Jersey. You need to eject your Governor.

The Beer Frontier team was on the scene at Beer Research Institute as they made their big announcement to distribute beer through Quail Distributing. We spoke with Matt Tretheway in great depth about the 9 years that he and his team have invested in getting to this points, often punctuating growth with no, no, no, and never. But never can also be sometimes or always. A key piece of the big move is brewer Nick Remane. We learn a little about Nick's genesis and his new Czech lager. Trout fishing, the Ottoman Empire, amusement park rides, COVID reflections, being your own frenemy, scratch food, punk rock heart of gold. It's all in this episode. Is there a Gravitron in BRI's future, Time will tell. We asked the fun duo, wetigersukesongs if we could use their version of Minas de Cobres and they graciously agreed.
