Episode 3 - Double Barrel Podcasting

Be prepared for a pleasant surprise in Episode 3 of Tap the Craft.  I am pleased to announced the addition of my buddy John Ream to second chair and provide the missing element.  John is not only well informed on craft beer, but he is also an award winning homebrewer that will be able to complement my lack of brewing experience.    You probably notice the show is twice the normal length and this is because having two hosts really adds to the interaction and depth our the topics.  Our goal is to eventually work the show into under an hour.   We discuss tasting notes of Knee Deep Brewing SIMTRA Triple IPA and New Belgium Brewing Tour de Fall as well as key topics like an in depth discussion on how to do a beer tasting, provide a bit of insight into a few other craft beers tried recently, dive into John’s exposure to craft beer and check out Gropener, a unique bottle opener. 

If you would like to contact the show you can reach the host through email at tapthecraft@gmail.com, or follow us on twitter @tapthecraft or leave comments on the show post on openforumradio.com or Google+ just search for Tap the Craft to find the podcast page.

You can follow me personally on Twitter, Instagram and Untappd @lucescrew.  You can follow John on Twitter @primebrewing and on Untappd @primeWA and follow his blog at www.homebrewengineer.com.
