Episode 194 - GABF 2017

Our Fourth Annual GABF Recap Spectacular is bursting with content, as we gathered more interviews and drank more beer than ever before! Recorded from our Denver hotel room, this show - featuring MC Johnsen - serves as our recap of the 36th Great American Beer Festival, as we share our overall highlights, favorite beers, and many interviews from the floor. We also drink two area beers - one from Cerebral and the other from Wiley Roots - to help us hold on to the glory days a little longer. We also recap a few of the related events, with focus on the weekend-long Melvin bacchanalia that penetrated the whole city. Also, hear about the Illinois medal winners while hearing from two of them, including Matt Johnsen, who stayed awake for part of this one. Relive the greatest weekend in beer and get mile high with us.   Beers Reviewed   Cerebral Brewing - DDH Rare Trait (New England IPA) Wiley Roots Brewing & Outer Range Brewing - Neature Walk (Double IPA)   Interviews   Great Notion Brewing (Portland, OR) - Paul Reiter & James Dugan (00:08:39 - 00:11:30) pFriem Family Brewers (Hood River, OR) - Gavin Lord (00:17:00 - 00:24:07) Hi-Wire Brewing (Asheville, NC) - Chris Frosaker (00:33:19 - 00:37:55) Green Cheek Beer Co.
