E113: Forging Craft Beer with Ironmonger Brewing

Send us Fan Mail(note: Ironmonger Brewing is a partner of Beer Guys Radio) David Sheets loves a challenge.  As the founder of Ironmonger Brewing, he was looking for a way to get his brewery's beers noticed. So he made the bold decision: Blind taste his beers against one of the most heralded breweries in the country.  The Trillium Challenge was born. How did it work? He lets us know during the show.  Broadcasting from their new Barrel room, we speak to Sheets and taproom manager Cam Goershel about Ironmonger's history, its future, and the upcoming festival season.  Truck and Tap’s Beers of the Week: Ironmonger Beers Creature Comforts Reclaimed Rye Headlines: Halfway Crooks Making Progress on Brewery in Summerhill Highland Brewing Co. has completely revamped their branding Smyrna approves “carry-out” alcohol policy in downtown restaurant district Sam Adams has gotten on board the Haze Craze Train Guinness is launching a new line of Non Alcoholic beer this month Related:  German olympic athletes herald benefit of NA Hefeweizen BrewDog is opening the world’s first “beer hotel” in Scotland New study: Drinking two beers a night could be the key to living a long life Related: Excessive use could increase risk for all forms of dementia Related: 2015 study finds antioxidant in hops slows cognitive decline Hip-hop Duo Run The Jewels has announced a second beer Collaboration Spencer Trappist brewery coming out with Fruit Series Charitably Drinking: Saturday March 24th is Orval Day 2018  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.Thanks for listening to Beer Guys Radio!  Your hosts are Tim Dennis and Brian Hewitt with producer Nate "Mo' Mic Nate" Ellingson and occasional appearances from Becky Smalls.Subscribe to Beer Guys Radio on your favorite app: Apple Podcasts | Google Podcasts | Spotify | Stitcher  | RSSFollow Beer Guys Radio: Facebook | Instagram | Twitter | YouTube If you enjoy the show we'd appreciate your support on Patreon.  Patrons get cool perks like early, commercial-free episodes, swag, access to our exclusive Discord server, and more!
