Episode 2 - Beer Writer and Novelist, Aaron Goldfarb

Episode 2 - Aaron Goldfarb

In Episode 2, author and journalist Aaron Goldfarb talks to Augie and John about his life as a beer writer and novelist; why he recently stooped so low as to wait in line for a beer release; and how New Jersey beer sucks, "but it's a lot better than it used to be." Aaron shares three beers with panel, including one which Augie thinks is TCA-infected or "cork tainted."

Also, would you you ever shot gun a beer just to keep the oxygen away? We would.

Episode 1 - Jeff O'Neil

For their first episode, Augie and John sit down with Jeff "Chief" O'Neil, the former headbrewer at Ithaca Beer Co. and the Peekskill Brewery, to talk about his post-Peekskill plans to open an IPA and pale ale-focused brewery (with a dedicated canning line!) somewhere in the Hudson Valley. Chief also reveals his favorite everyday lagers (which may or may not include adjuncts) and talks about what experimental hop varieties he's currently excited about. Meanwhile, Augie and John blind taste three amazing beers that Chief so generously brought along.
