Episode 149: Ship Bottom Brewery & Yuengling (or No Tilde)

Our podcast took a trip down the shore for Labor Day weekend to stop in at Ship Bottom Brewery in Beach Haven, NJ. Robert Zarko, returning to the podcast after appearing at the AC Beer and Music Fest this year, sat down with Head Brewer Jake Stablein to chat about the trials and triumphs of this (almost) beach front operation. Plus, an interview with one of the next generation of Yuenglings at America's oldest brewery, Jen Yuengling. We discussed Yuengling's newest year-round beer in 17 years, Golden Pilsner, as well as many other exciting facets of an upcoming new chapter for a brand we and our families grew up with. This episode's edition of Happy Fun Time gets back to basics with a round of Libation or Fabrication hosted by Wayne. Our brains also got a bit more wrinkly as Steph outlined the subtle differences between the Marzen and Oktoberfest styles (while we sampled Yuengling's seasonal Oktoberfest). All of this and more over two full "wipeouts" of Ship Bottom brews. Do you love Beer Busters? Of course you do!
