The Ginger and The Beard Podcast

Brian Martin, Head Brewer of Tradition Brewing in Newport News, VA joins us this week to discuss a very special local craft beer release that supports a cause very near to his heart. ‘Beer With a Vision’ is a Hazy IPA brewed with Citra and Eldorado Hops and is releasing on 7/30/21. With the purchase of this beer, 100% of the proceeds will be donated to the Massachusetts Association for the Blind and Visually Impaired. Brian has experienced impaired vision of his own when suffering two different retina detachments, one in each eye. Though he was able to recover from these incidents, there are many who have been less fortunate, so he has made it his mission to raise $10,000 in partnership with Team With a Vision, a team of runners and supporters who raise money for the visually impaired by participating in the Boston Marathon. We talk about Brian’s road to becoming Head Brewer at Tradition Brewing Company beginning with his initial love for craft beer which began while stationed in Germany and then discuss a few of the out-of-the-ordinary beers he brews, cans, designs, and taps all on-premise. You may be surprised by some of his creations! Check out this episode to learn how you can support an amazing cause by drinking delicious beer.

Jeff Bloem is the Founder of, and Maltster at Murphy & Rude Malting in Charlottesville, VA. We had the pleasure of sitting down with him, plus Bonnie from Wheatland Spring Farm + Brewery, to talk about why malt matters in craft beer. Not only in the sense of the flavor and character it creates in your beer, but also the impact using local malts has on the local economy and supply chain. Jeff is an incredibly smart guy who transitioned away from a successful career in Corporate Development, using his knowledge of supply chain management to identify a huge opportunity in the mid-atlantic region of the United States. Though the craft beer scene was on the rise, the number of local ingredient suppliers was scarce, and such was the inception of Murphy & Rude Malting. Check out the episode to learn why malt matters in craft beer, how Murphy & Rude steeps and roasts their malt, what happens when mistakes are made, where the demand for new styles of malt comes from, and how important local collaboration is to their business.

As much as you may know about craft beer, how much do you actually know about the primary ingredients that make it up? And specifically, how much do you know about arguably the single most important ingredient - yeast?  Jasper and Ben from Jasper Yeast in Dulles, VA joined us to answer the question “What is yeast?” - enhancing our understanding of how this complex organism (not a bacteria, as we learned) operates, reproduces and changes over time. They also talked to us about how it’s possible to take a snapshot of a particular strain of yeast to be preserved for brewers who brew seasonal beers and need the same strain each time, and how there are a range of different measurements and observations that go into the decision of what type of yeast will be used in certain beers. This is truly fascinating stuff to learn about!

Since opening, Random Row has focused on brewing high-quality craft beer that makes a positive impact on the local community of Charlottesville, Virginia, winning numerous awards along the way. We had the pleasure of sitting down with Kevin to talk about how he made the decision to open his own brewery, where he finds the inspiration behind a few of his beers, how he learned how to brew, what it’s like to be a part of the brewing community in Charlottesville, and some exciting things coming soon in their taproom (hint: it’s round and cheesy)!

Andy Rathman has been the Brewmaster at The St. George Brewing Company, the second oldest microbrewery in VA, since 1999. In the early days of his brewing career, he held multiple apprenticeships in Germany, traveling from brewery to brewery with his dog and his van, before attending the Master Brewers program at UC Davis and becoming a Master Brewer in England. In this episode, we chatted with Andy about his extensive pedigree, how he selects the ingredients that are used in his beer, and how he prefers not to deviate from the four main ingredients of hops, malt, yeast, and water. We also discussed what makes an English Ale different from a German Ale, and how the terroir of specific regions influences the final flavor profile of the beer.

On this episode, we were joined by Jimmy Loughran, head brewer of Smartmouth Brewing Company in Norfolk & Virginia Beach, VA. Jimmy talked to us about his experience and background in the brewing industry, how he went from being a casual craft beer drinker to heading up the brewing operations of one of the most popular breweries in the Hampton Roads area. We covered a range of brewing topics, covering Smartmouth’s philosophy of “flavor over flash,” discussing how Jimmy’s team manages to stay true to that philosophy in a time where many consumers are looking for the most Instagram-worthy beer. We also talked about the great aluminum can shortage of 2020, as well as other business impacts that have come from our situation in 2020, and how they have handled it all. Finally, Jimmy clued us into a few experimental beers that are in the works for Smartmouth Brewing Company, and what we can look forward to releasing in the short and long term. If you’re local to Hampton Roads or are passing through, make sure you stop by one of Smartmouth’s two locations for a clean, quality craft beer.

On this episode, we were joined by Bryan Reedy, the founder of Gamer Advantage, to talk about the blue light health effects from artificial light - most notably on our sleep - and how the blue light glasses offered by Gamer Advantage can help mitigate that effect.  Listen carefully to the episode for an exclusive 20% off coupon that can be applied to a pair of Gamer Advantage blue light glasses of your own! Given that many of us spend 40 hours/week sitting in front of computer monitors, and then many hours on top of that looking at our phones, TVs, and car dashboards, and surrounded by artificial light in general, it’s no surprise to hear about the negative blue light health effects. More than anything, as we discovered in our conversation with Bryan, this impacts our sleep routines and prevents us from achieving R.E.M. sleep, which leads to a number of health issues. Our conversation with Bryan from Gamer Advantage was very enlightening in regard to the research that has been conducted on blue light health effects, and how Gamer Advantage’s blue light glasses have been clinically proven to reduce these effects.

This week, we reviewed craft beers from Hi-Wire Brewing and Lancaster Brewing Company and gave a quick lesson on the role that malts play in the beer we drink. From sweetness to alcohol content, malts play a crucial role in the overall flavor building of your favorite beers.
