The Brewers Association came out with its ranking of the Top 50 Breweries in the United States. Who tops the list? Who is gaining momentum? We discuss this, along with many of the breweries we've either paid a visit to or had beer from.

Scott & Steve talk about their upcoming trip to Ohio. Including an effort in trying to get a very big brewery to distribute their beer in Tennessee.

PB & J beers have become popular at some breweries. We talked about whether they are here to stay.

There were some local winners of The World Cup Beer 2025 competition we wanted to share. Plus! Steve is about to kick off his Summer Tour of West Coast IPA's.

Cheers!

Welcome to Part 2 of our interview with Joe and Nick from the Hop In, We're Drinking! Podcast. (A podcast about nothing)

In this episode we start by discussing one of the most famous West Coast IPA's - Pliny the Elder.

Untappd is a subject we have brought up many times on this podcast, and this episode is no different. We all discuss our opinions of Untappd and how we use it.

Considering Joe is in Hawaii and Nick is in West Virginia - we ask the guys what the craft beer scene is like in each of their areas - whether it be breweries or to go beer.

Another thing we find interesting about Joe and Nick doing the podcast - is their geography. How do they schedule episodes with guests when they have a 6 hour time difference between them? You'll have to listen to find out.

Nick even invades The Brewery Underground Podcast with a story about a French pig that got arrested, put in jail and executed during the Middle Ages.

Will there be more drunk dance parties from Nick and Joe? We sure hope so!

Cheers!

Welcome to Episode #72, where we invite our friends Nick Rotruck and Joe Crockett from the Hop In, We're Drinking! Podcast, to join us.

Nick comes to us from West Virginia and Joe comes all the way from Hawaii.

Nick and Joe label their podcast as "the podcast about nothing", but don't let them fool you, they have great content and great guests, including home brewers, head brewers and even the Homebrewers Association of America.

In this episode we talk to the guys about how they started their podcast, where the idea came from, West Coast IPA's - and how Steve's summer tour is going to be all about them! We also do a deep dive into home brewing as both Nick and Joe are avid home brewers themselves and are passionate about it, in addition to having a wealth of knowledge about the subject.

The Hop In, We're Drinking! Podcast has 12 episodes out so far, with many more lined up. These guys are rolling and are doing a terrific job with the podcast! We enjoy listening to them and we know you will too.

Cheers!
