Matt Likes Beer – Episode 37 – Engine 19 IPA
from NEOZAZ · host NEOZAZ
What starts as a review of Hathaway’s Heroes IPA from Dogfish Head Craft Brewery quickly turns into a time capsule of hockey playoff anxiety, craft beer nostalgia, cigar festivals, brewing science, and one surreal story about unknowingly hanging out with Sam Calagione years before realizing who he was. Recorded during intermission of a Flyers vs. Penguins playoff game — immediately after Garnet Hathaway scores — this may be the most emotionally compromised beer review I’ve ever done. Inside the episode: A full BJCP-style breakdown of Hathaway’s Heroes IPA Live playoff energy and Flyers fandom chaos Stories from early-2000s cigar festivals and discovering Dogfish Head A nostalgic dive into the lost brewing TV series Brew Masters Brewing talk about stalled fermentations, oxygenation, specialty malts, and resin-heavy IPAs A review that openly admits the score may have been influenced by hockey emotions This episode is part beer review, part brewing rabbit hole, part sports panic attack — and somehow it all works. If you love Dogfish Head, craft beer history, brewing process talk, or hearing someone try to professionally judge a beer while distracted by playoff hockey, this one’s for you.
