The Indie Beer Show

Live with Kelsey McNair from North Park Beer Co.

There are several dozen amazing breweries in San Diego that we tend to gravitate towards without even consciously knowing it. North Park Beer Co. is one of those shining stars in the top tier of #SDBeer.

We’re in for a treat, and another IPA fest, when Kelsey joins us to discuss all things NPBC! We’re looking forward to an evening to write home about, that’s for sure.

We will be featuring the following beers:

Archaic Technology – Double Dry Hopped West Coast IPA

Infernal Combustion – Double Dry

Hopped West Coast IPA

Clockwork Intelligence – Double Dry
Hopped Hazy Double IPA

Lupulin Collider – Triple Dry Hopped Hazy Triple IPA

We hope you enjoy the audio version of the show, and just in case you want to relive the live stream, that’s below as well!

Best of TIBS! – Mobile West Canning

Here’s to unexpected things happening in 2021 like it’s the 14th month of ’20! The show that should be publishing right now won’t see the light of day, sometimes that happens. Exactly 2 times, to be precise.

We thought we would take a trip back in time, all the way to December of 2019, when our guest was Mobile West Canning. At the time of recording this episode there was no way to know the extreme importance MWC’s service would have the following year. Just four months after this recording, we went into lockdown due to Covid.

The lifeline of canned beer Mobile West offered several of our favorite breweries during to go only restrictions cannot be overstated. For some breweries, MWC is the only reason they survived this unprecedented time.

Sit back and remember a simpler time, when people could sit at the same table and drink and laugh together all night!

Live with The Indie Beer Show

Every once in awhile we like to do a Show where it’s just us hanging out with you. In the long, long ago, we would be having a bottle share or some other fun activity to interact with our friends and supporters.

Pink elephants aside, we’ll fire up TIBS! at the same bat time and on the same bat channels as usual to talk about the current state of beer in San Diego, our future amazing guests we have scheduled, and most importantly, have fun!

This week, we’re drinking all dark beers!

We’ll be featuring the following:

Midnight Expression from Port Brewing – Dark Lager

Stout from Sierra Nevada (the first beer they brewed)

Spicy Maya from Thorn – Dry Irish Stout with cocoa nibs, pasilla peppers, cayenne and a touch of cinnamon

Doom Blade from Modern Times – Black IPA

Thank you for being the best humans on Earth; we hope you enjoy the audio version of this episode and/or the live stream below!

Live with Brian Mitchel from Pariah Brewing Co.

Who’s ready for the first anniversary preview show of 2021?! We are, that’s for sure! We’re ready for anything celebratory after the last 28 months of 2020.

We’ll be joined by Brian Mitchell from Pariah Brewing Co. to discuss all the details of their upcoming 4th Anniversary, their Valentine’s Day pairing with Good Seed Food Co. and everything else we can cram into a few hours celebrating this achievement with our friend!

We will be featuring:

Live with Vinnie Cilurzo from Russian River Brewing Co.

On this extremely exceptional episode of The Indie Beer Show, we have the legendary Vinnie Cilurzo from the almighty Russian River Brewing Company! This terrific retirement gift has come to be due to the diligence of Brandon, and I, Brian, am eternally grateful for this opportunity to have one of my favorite breweries of all time join us for an evening that will certainly not be forgotten.
