Goose Island & Virtue Cider with Greg Hall & Mike Smith

SHOW INFO: A special Thursday night episode where we bring in former brew master and current owner of Virtue Cider Greg Hall, along with Brand Ambassador of Bourbon County Brand from Goose Island Mike Smith to talk about a slew of topics. We talk about the upcoming Bourbon County Brand Stout lineup, the Grit & Grain book and video series, winning the 2020 Good Food Award, and their true feelings of the beer black market. We talk so much more but it's a must listen for anyone in the industry, fans of Goose Island, or even if Goose Island has left a bad taste in your mouth for the past decade but want to see what has happened since. 00:00- Introduction to Ken & Mike Smith 02:02- 2020 BCBS Release During COVID 03:55- Introduction to Dan & Greg Hall 04:55- Utilizing Liquor Barrels To Make Beer 08:20- Introduction to Wendy & Cooking with Mike Smith 10:08- Introduction to Rob & Products From Virtue 12:15- Is The Cider Market Growing & Seltzer Market 16:53- Sourcing Local Ingredients & Sugar in Ciders 20:30- Chronicling The History of BCBS 29:44- Malort? 33:00- Infected Bourbon County 40:40- Is Bourbon County Flash Pasteurized? 45:44- Greg Hall Debates Next Craze 48:32- Is Barleywine Coming Back? 50:40- Social Medias Influence On Beer 54:30- Greg's Stove & Cider Book 57:57- Black Beer Market 01:01:28- Favorite BCBS Ever 01:04:25- Cody Parkey & Paul Edinger 01:06:19- Stroh's or Old Style & Closing Sponsors: North Center Brewing - https://northcenterbrewing.com/ Zetouna Liquor - https://www.facebook.com/Zetouna-Liquor-Fine-Wine-Cigars-146021445420374/ PCI BrandCraft - https://www.facebook.com/PCIBrandCraft Join The Michigan Beer Discord - https://discord.gg/vEEDyzwdjT Download the MI Beer Map - http://www.mibeermap.com Subscribe to Better on Draft - https://plnk.to/BOD Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/6AlzP1BH0iykayF856bGRc?si=xXZzdd3CTPqgUq_KYTnBKg iTunes - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/better-on-draft-a-craft-beer-podcast/id1091124740 Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/betterondraft Untappd - https://www.untappd.com/bodpodcast YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/c/betterondraft Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/betterondraft Twitter - https://www.twitter.com/betterondraft
