16 Aug 2024Ep 7 The One About The Bruery01:26:26

Episode 7 was so chock-full of beer geek-dom that we had to split it into two parts. Part one includes an opening beer rant about last weekend’s grand opening at The Bruery in Meridian. Then we do a little brew news and our interview with The Bruery owner/operator Jimbo Wood. Jimbo was such an awesome guest that I decided to run basically the whole interview and push Friday Night Pints to a part two.

Jimbo is a great guy. He was so fascinated with craft beer that he actually sent away for beers while still in college, which is next level beer nerd stuff. Our chat led us down many roads including how he got to Idaho all the way from Alabama and how he then hooked up with the owners of The Bruery in Orange County to open his own spot in the Treasure Valley. Believe me when I say that you will love this guy.

In Part 2 of Episode 7, I go over the beers I tried at the grand opening of The Bruery in Meridian. This includes mostly barrel-aged beers that were crazy on flavor and complexity. To learn more about The Bruery and its beers, please check out Part 1 of this episode.

Thanks to everyone for listening. I will also put out a companion piece to these pods in the form of a column. I’ve had some feedback that people would like to see some more written stuff, so I obliged this week because there were a lot of new beers out there. That column will be coming to Substack subscribers tomorrow morning and everyone else should be able to find it on the social medias later on Saturday.

Stay until the end for some breaking news from Koenig that is muy bueno. If you like liquor, you won’t want to miss this conversation.

I also talk about a recent article in the Idaho Statesman about the struggle of local breweries and how I want to help. We are starting to see some Okto’s in the market, we review a couple of local fest biers in Friday Night Pints plus we do some Brew News.

30 Aug 2024Episode 9 - Talking Vino with Telaya01:42:08

Episode 9 is here! In this episode, we get out of the kettle and go into the vines with Telaya co-owner and head winemaker Earl Sullivan. Earl tells us all about what makes his winery unique to other Idaho winemakers and gives us a 101 course on why Idaho is becoming a better wine state and how he uses Idaho grapes as well as neighboring state grapes to create his delicious wines. We go into the barrel and discuss his winery’s unique Turas line and the special connection he and his family have with that yearly release. It’s an awesome conversation!

Brew News is fairly light, with some tips on pairing wine with your Labor Day BBQ and the Spirit of Boise is this weekend, where to catch that and have a good time as well.

Friday Night Pints (8oz edition) has some Telaya wines that Earl was nice enough to leave behind including the new 2022 vintage of Turas and we found more Idaho fest beers, see what I thought about those.

It’s a new episode of the Idaho Booze Podcast and this one is jam packed with craft spirit talk. In the open, I go through craft beer’s rise (and un-rise?) and I talk about how people accustomed to delicious craft beer now want that deliciousness transferred over to their spirits and how to get more of those spirits into our liquor stores. Danner Drinks comes in to talk about how their 4th tier fits into a 3-tier system. We talk all about Danner’s amazing whiskey and spirit portfolio, then do a deep dive into their wine book as well. It’s a fun interview with a couple of cool peeps that are trying to get you better booze. Then, in Friday Night Pints, a beer returns to the coolers that is no nerf herder, we crack open Costco’s latest vintage release, and try two new Irish whiskey’s - including Idaho’s first Irish whiskey - from our new friends at Danner’s Drinks. It’s a jam-packed episode of the Idaho Booze Podcast!

The holidays are coming up and I thought it would be a great time to have another winery come on the show and what better winery than Cinder! Co-founder Joe Schner is on this week’s show and we talked all about how he and his wine-making wife Melanie Krause came to the Snake River Valley, why they use the grapes that they use, and what they are doing that separates Cinder from other wineries in the region.

Then in Friday Night Pints, I review one Cinder wine and a couple of new beers from Loose Screw.

In this 21st episode of the Idaho Booze Podcast, Loose Screw Beer Co. invites me out to their brand new flagship location in downtown Meridian to chop it up with me about all things Loose Screw. Owner Mike Garcia and his brew team, Marcos and Jake, talk about the beginnings of Loose Screw and how their lives are going to change with a shiny new brewery. We also talk about the special characteristics of the brewery itself, which is quite interesting. The audio is a little echoy and there’s construction noise, but I think we cleaned it up ok. I give you advice on how to make it through Thanksgiving with a couple of different scenarios and a couple of really nice batch cocktails that will brighten up your holiday. Then in Friday Night Pints, I review a bunch of Loose Screw beers plus the winter releases from Barbarian were announced, what to expect with those fun wintery wonders. It’s a great big episode of the Idaho Booze Podcast this week. Cheers!

Gem State Manhattan

* 12 ounces 1792 Bourbon

* 6 Ounces sweet vermouth

* 6 generous dashes of Warn Reserve Aromatic bitters

* 3 ounces of water

Measure out all the ingredients and funnel them into an empty bottle. Give them a good mix and taste it, adding bitters or vermouth if needed. Freeze for at least 3 hours, makes 6 drinks. (base recipe found here).

Clarified Old Fashioned (Recipe from The Thirsty Whale)

* 4 cups Koenig Caldwell Nights Rodeo 100 proof Whiskey

* 6 oz House Made Syrups Barrel Aged Old Fashioned syrup

* 2 big dashes Warn Reserve Aromatic Bitters

* 1 cup water

Pour everything into a bowl adding the milk last. Cover the bowl overnight. The next day you will see the milk has curdled. Strain out the milk using a couple of paper towels or a cheesecloth filter and pour your cocktail into an empty bottle. Once you’ve separated the milk curd from the cocktail, you just pour that over ice with an orange peel and cherry and you’re good to go. Should make 8-12 drinks. 

Idaho Cosmo

* 8 ounces triple sec

* 4 ounces fresh lime juice

* 1 ounce cranberry juice

13 Dec 2024Episode 23.5 - Going Back to Cali00:20:35

I really loved recording this episode, unfortunately, the audio came out pretty badly, so I went ahead and re-edited it down to just the nitty gritty about Bert’s beers and how they brew beer a little differently than other breweries in Idaho. It’s really interesting to hear about them talking about stuff that is happening now, but back in September or whenever we recorded this episode. Anyway, enjoy this half-episode and we’ll try to come back next week with a brand-new show.

It’s the 2024 finale of the Idaho Booze Podcast! In this jam-packed episode, I interview Chris McGinnis from Gem State Brewing! We talk all about the eponymous journey he and his wife took to open the brewery, how things are going now, and we live-review a flight of beers. In this week’s Friday Night Pints - written edition, I released my year-end lists and I give those a little tease. We get Holiday Cocktails from some returning champions and we try some new Gem State beers in Friday Night Pints (audio edition). It’s a huge end-of-the-year show and one I think you will enjoy. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, Drinkarinos!

24 Jan 2025Episode 3 - Dairy-coli00:25:40

I am rolling solo on this episode of the Idaho Booze Podcast and I have a little to say about a lot. Darigold gets got for dumping shit water into the river and that got me thinking about what Agg gets away with compared to other Idaho businesses. Bob Huebbler from Boise Beer Culture released his Look Back on Idaho Beer for 2024, so I go over that and talk about what’s actually happening to cause the downturn in local breweries. Then I say goodbye to a friend of the show (she’s still alive, just leaving the Treasure Valley). Enjoy the pod on Substack, Spotify, Apple Pods, YouTube, and anywhere else you stream fine podcasts.

21 Feb 2025Tarif Talk Goes Mainstream + New Loose Screw Beers!00:44:14

I am all by my lonesome again for this week’s episode, so I talk about … me! The local media picked up on my Trump talk from last week’s show, so I did them one better and picked up their coverage of my story for my story this week. Sockeye decides to cut bait on its putt-putt golf course concept, what this means for one of Idaho’s biggest breweries. Loose Screw Brewing in Meridian invites me out to try their newly brewed beers … see if the flavor matches the shiny new brewery. Friday Night Pints includes some new beers to the market, but are the beers new or just the brewery? Then we look at the Boise Beer Buddies Community Calendar and find some fun stuff for you to do this weekend in Idaho. Be sure to listen on Substack, Spotify, Apple Pods, or YouTube and leave a review.

28 Feb 2025Wandering Through a Lost Grove01:25:32

Jake Black is on the pod this week. He is the founder/big boss man at Lost Grove Brewing in Boise. This conversation was a lot of fun because I have known Jake for quite some time, and we have had many experiences in the craft beer world. We wandered through his journey starting Lost Grove that included him working at just about every restaurant in downtown Boise, plus Jake tells us about the fun and creative beer names and how he came up with those. Then we venture into some other topics including his recent TV appearances talking about Trump’s tariffs, just what the hell is going on at Woodland Empire, and we remember an old friend. Enjoy!
