While Scott's sunbathing in South Carolina, Louisvillebeer.com welcomes LIBA to talk about this weekends LIBA's Brewfest at Slugger Field.  Also, Paul Young discusses the latest on his Brew On Premise business.  Jen from LIBA tells us what to expect on Friday, how the Brewfest has grown exponentially, and how Hall is much better than Oates.  Listen in!        

Is this a Louisvillebeer.com podcast or a taping of the Phil Donahue show?  John K. asks the hard hitting questions to John and Scott about all things beer and non-beer related.  Scott reflects on growing up while Wurth tells us his techniques to satisfying the Mrs (hint: it involves a guy named Bo and another one named Luke).  Make and sure listen to dial into your inner Oprah!    

New podcast equipment, new guest...still the same ugly faces at Louisvillebeer.com though.  We welcome Nick Landers of Gordon Biersch to the taproom while he drinks/explains his love for Oktoberfests and Louisville.  Also, Scott gives us the details on sorghum, John whines about not being at GABF, and Wurth plays all the stingers!          

Somehow, the guys at Louisvillebeer.com made it through another Louisville Craft Beer Week.  After brunching so hard at ATG, the guys recap the week, the events they attending and how hungover they were.  Adam Watson gives us an ATG perspective while Peter Fingerson and Josh Hill of NABC tell us what it's like to work across the river!

It's come to this, another interview show. We've been busy, okay!?!? We talked to several people waiting in the line for Bo & Luke at Against the Grain, and then visited the 1st Annual ValuMarket Amateur Beer Cheese Festival at BBC Taproom. We talked to some entrants about what makes their beer cheese the best, and then score an EXCLUSIVE interview with the winner, Mr. Stephen Smith, who won in both the People's Choice AND came in 1st place as voted by the esteemed panel of judges. Happy #LCBW2014, you all! Did we mention, that as a bonus, we've included Solid Rock'it Boosters' wonderful cover of Waylon Jennings'"Good Ol' Boys" from their gig at The Bo & Luke Release Party. It truly beats all you ever saw.

Episode 53 is a doozy folks!  Jessy from ATG checks in as a guest host as we discuss all of the Louisville Craft Beer Week events going on.  Jessy drops the Bo and Luke variants along with other things ATG has up its wizard sleeves. Oh, and DVD is back in the house after his "brew voyage" and talks about what life was like on the road!      

Well folks, we managed to record the Louisvillebeer.com podcast for over a year without any major FCC violations.  We welcomed the ever elusive Frank Thompson of Germantown Times to tell us about all the things going down in the Germantown/Schnitzelburg area.  Frank tells about his love of Chryslers and Miller Lite, as the rest of the guys give you some teasers for LCBW!                

Wurth, Scott and guest co-host Ryan Hammel had a nice little talk with Rick Stidham and Matt from Louisville's soon to be open brewery, Akasha Brewing (formerly Muse Brewing). Good thing they happened to be in a podcast studio and happened to record it, otherwise there wouldn't be a show this week. Plenty of talk about bright tanks, square footage, tater tots, brewhouse efficiency, and merkins. Plenty of merkin talk. Too much? You be the judge. Thanks for listening!        

Mr. Williams, of Liquor Barn fame and board member at the Zoo drops by to talk Brew at the Zoo. He also happened to have a bottle of 27 year old bourbon in his car. Lucky us! The first time bourbon has been consumed on the podcast, AND the first time I've ever had liquid that old. Did I mention mega-star (and Brad's twin) Todd Pharris steps in to guest co-host? Well, he did. And was it ever magical.            

Our ol' pal Cresant bellies up to the podcastin' bar to talk about her experience as a judge in the Kentucky State Fair Homebrew competition. Scott grills her on her recent BEER trip to Colorado, while he's not playing sound effects on his fancy iPad rig.            

Episode 48 welcomes Chris Vandergrift of LexBeerScene to the studio to talk about the upcoming Lexington Fest of Ales.  Chris gives us some details on the special tappings and also hands up two free tickets to give away (more on that later).  meanwhile, Scott can't stomp chomping on chips and things get a little weird with Rapid Fire.          

  Louisvillebeer.com recently ventured out on Leo Weekly & Thornton's Tap That Crawl event.  John Wurth used his 'mobile podcaster' skills along the way to interview patrons at Great Flood, BBC, Apocalypse, and Falls City.  Meanwhile back at the studio,the boys discuss all the events on July 31st, Louisville Craft Beer Week planning, and accusatory steroid usage.          

Scott from Schlafly, Tracey from 502 Beer Bitches, and Blake from Alltech take a break from Forecastle to join us in the studio.  Scott Schreffler lets us sample some Pumpkin Ale while Blake gives us an idea of some of the new projects going on down the road in Lexington for Alltech.  Scott Lykins lets us all in on his musical taste and we will never be the same after.  Make sure and listen up for the 50% discount code for the Tap That Crawl event this Sunday!          

Episode 45 shows us that even a good amount of caulk can't fix a broken podcast.  LEO stops by to talk about their upcoming Tap That Crawl event and let us in on a secret code to get 50% off your ticket!  King doesn't bring any beer but Stone comes through with a WOOT Stout 2.0.  The guys catch up on Kings CA vacation, all the things that are ATG, and John's weekend of caulking.              

For the second week in a row, we are King-less, but our guest co-host Grant Johnson steps in and does a bangup job subbing for John King. Joel Halbleib drops by bearing Bourbon Ale fresh off the bottling line and talks about what to expect from BBC Production (Clay and Main). Grant also brings in a new segment, "Quick Draw with Grant" and gets plenty of laughter and less "What is your favorite nut?" questions. Is this the end for John King? Probably not, but tune in to make your own call. Enough about John King...tune in to hear Joel Halbleib and his plans for world domination with Bluegrass Brewing Company. Plus Cafe Lou Lou in the Highlands steps in for sponsorship (read: free pizza and cheese sticks!!!). We'll take it!

With John King out of the way, we get a whole episode without the singing of bad 80s music. It was glorious. Jessy Harding of Against the Grain sat in with us again and helped us take care of business. The business, of course, was interviewing Paducah Kentucky's first brewery since Prohibition, Paducah Beer Werks. Owner/Brewer Todd Blume skyped in all the way from Western Kentucky (or is it Central KY, Jessy??) to let us in on the details of this new Kentucky brewery in Wurth's hometown. Also, Scott Lykins sits down with Brian Strumke of Stillwater Artisan Ales while he was down at Against the Grain brewing some beers.          

We hit up ATG last Sunday to #PODCASTSOHARD with a special round table of local beer guests.  Sam Cruz, Tracy of 502 Beer Bitches, and Mr. Prissy Hipster himself, Todd Pharris, chime in on all the local beer happenings in Kentucky.  We sample some beers from across the pond and also talk about what it's like to go to the bathroom in the nude.  Listen up to hear what special things ATG has for their summer and fall lineup including a Bo and Luke teaser!      

Episode 41 or how many people can we fit into one podcast studio!  A smorgasbord of people from Megan of 502 Beer Bitches, Matt and Vince from Great Flood drop by, and Kevin Gibson stop in to have a few and talk about all the beer!  There really isn't enough space to write down everything we talked about, so just give it a listen! Don't forget next Sunday is our live podcast at ATG at noon.      

Wurth traveled up a couple states where he checked out a very small percentage of the Michigan beer scene. In the southwest part of the state, he sat down with Head Brewer, Ron Conklin from Saugatuck Brewing Co., Anna from Our Brewing Company, and Kentuckiana's own, Richard Atnip of New Holland Brewing.              

We're over the Hill, but we are still able to rise to the occasion at Episode 40!  Wurth is back from his Michigan trip with a few stories to tell about his nude beach experience and the local breweries.  We welcome Brad Culver, of BBC and the forthcoming Craft House on Frankfort Ave. in to tell us about the probability of having 40 local taps and when it should be opening.  Make sure and listen in to hear about our bonus podcast for this week!
