Track Brewing Co Presents - The Thirst Time

This week on the podcast, we have Jeremy Grinkey of Everywhere Beer Co. The word "legend" gets thrown around a lot, but it sits perfectly with Jeremy. After taking the lead at The Bruery's world-renowned barrel-aging program (The Bruery Terreux), he and a few of his associates left to set up Everywhere Beer Co. His love of wine, people, and beer shines through, and it was an absolute joy to sit do...

If you love West Coast IPA, this one's for you. We were lucky enough to have Ryan and Noah from Ghost Town Brewing stop by on their way to MBCC and naturally, we had to brew a West Coast IPA together. Their beers blew us away, and their passion for what they do is something else. Getting to learn from them was a real privilege, and only deepened our love and reverence for the style. Enjoy! Hosted...

Maybe that's how you'll feel after listening to this one too... Enj...

Three and a half years ago, we sat down with James as he was embarking on his new brewing project, Ideal Day.

It was great to have Todd from Good Word Brewing join us to brew a beer. Whilst we had him here, it felt a shame not to sit down and hear his story. Good Word is a brewery based in Atlanta, Georgia, not an area of the world you'd think cask beer could thrive, but Todd and his team are making it happen. Enjoy! Hosted on Acast.
