  • Port City Brewing: Let's Try New Things!
    May 17 2024

    Welcome back to The DC Beer Show, where our enthusiastic hosts Jake, Mike, Jordan, and Brandy crack open the latest in the craft beer scene.

    In this episode, we're thrilled to sit down with Bill Butcher and Sam Terhune from the renowned Port City Brewing!

    On the menu today, we dive deep into the world of hazy beers, starting with a shout-out to the hazy wonders. We can't help but express our excitement and gratitude as we approach our 100th episode milestone—big thanks to our producer Richard and all you dedicated listeners out there! Plus, if you love what we do, consider supporting us through Patreon, and remember, kindness and love go a long way.

    As we sip on Pilsners, lagers, and IPAs brewed by incredible women brewers, we also raise a toast to Dave Coleman, a key figure in the DC beer community. The love and memories shared speak volumes of his impact. RIP, Dave.

    Port City is buzzing with activity! From their diverse line-up featuring barrel-aged beers, sours, and the innovative Brewer's Cut series, their commitment to quality shines through. We discuss their exciting new releases, including a nostalgic West Coast IPA hopping with Citra, Cascade, Chinook, and Strata, promising bright grapefruit, lemon-lime, pine, and dank notes. Keep an eye out for their ALX 275 IPA, celebrating Alexandria's 275th birthday, and stay tuned for their Keller beer and German Pilsner.

    Bill Butcher gives us the scoop on his participation in the craft brewers conference and Great American Beer Festival, along with Port City's dynamic barrel aging program and the Battle of the Barrel-Aged Beers.

    As the summer heats up, Port City's calendar is packed with events like Alexandria's birthday bash and the Portside Festival. With a vibrant and successful tasting room, new Pilsner and Amber Lager faucets, and a visit to Seattle's hop farms, there's never a dull moment.

    Plus, Jordan shares his fun experience taking ASL classes at Streetcar 82, a nod to the diverse interests that enrich our beer adventures.
    So grab a cold brew, get comfortable, and let's toast to another fantastic episode of The DC Beer Show—cheers!

  • The Return of the Brew Pub: Beer and Food together again
    May 3 2024

    Welcome to another effervescent episode of The DC Beer Show! In this installment, hosts Brandy Holder, Michael Stein, and Jacob Berg dive into the ever-fascinating world of brew pubs, craft beers, and the culinary delights that pair with them.

    Brandy kicks off the episode under the warm DC evening, lamenting her current drink of choice (wine, due to allergies) while reminiscing about a recent exceptional Allagash rum barrel-aged brew she wishes she was enjoying instead. The conversation then swirls around seasonal and special brews enjoyed during past visits to local breweries like Bluejacket and Saison Day celebrations.

    Jacob shares his current sip, a straightforward yet intriguing Ocelot Stratocaster pale ale, impressing with its blend of old school grain and new school hops. As the beer talk bubbles over, Michael chimes in with his own current pour, the Allagash Once Upon An Orchard—a wild Saison ale that dazzled during their recent Saison Day outing.

    The episode takes a lively turn as Brandy teases upcoming beer-centric events, including a Women's Brew Culture Club gathering, a spring beer fest at Solace Outpost, and an exclusive beer share at Other Half—all while planning for their live recording. Michael and Jacob mull over the blissful pairing of great beer and even greater food, contrasting preferences between stellar brews with mediocre food, versus mediocre brews with excellent cuisine.

    In the absence of a guest, which breaks their 98-episode streak, the hosts take advantage of discussing the evolving local beer scene, including new food ventures at brewpubs, emphasizing how these establishments enhance community ties and local economies.
    This episode, loaded with plans, tastings, and debates, encapsulates the ongoing love affair between craft beer and fine food, encouraging listeners to explore, engage, and enjoy the community's brewing genius. Don't miss this fizzy, flavorful discourse on The DC Beer Show, where beer and companionship flow abundantly!

    Remember, through sips and dishes, every glass tells a story. Catch all the nuances of this bubbly banter and more by tuning into this latest episode, and don't forget to let your tastes wander over to our Patreon for exclusive perks: dcbeer.com/patreon.

    The beers discussed in this episode of The DC Beer Show include Allagash's rum barrel-aged saison, Snow Report Saison, and Once Upon An Orchard, Ocelot's Stratocaster Pale Ale, and offerings from Sapwood and Elder Pine.
