Episode 76 - Riverlands Brewing

Average Joe and Friends Podcast ·

2019/05/06

It is early in their life, but they have already cracked my top 5 breweries in the suburbs of Chicago. They are doing everything from the over fruited Sour to Pub ales, and they do not seem to be missing. They are only about 2 months into opening and already making some of the best Hazy IPAs in the game. Their Rye IPA Skeleton Revival was an absolute homerun and I look forward to more offering from Riverlands for a long time to come. The space is beautiful and the taps are packed with

My first Mead episode. Clint welcomed me into his cozy spot in downtown Valpo, IN and schooled me on the mead game. I probably could have talked to him for 8 hours and barely scratched the surface of Mead brewing, but we were hungry and need some Ricochet Tacos! This was an amazing experience for me and Im all about the mead at this point. Social Media: Website Instagram Facebook

It is always a great spot to visit.

Kinds new and kinda old at the same time. A lot of people may remember the brewery as Myths and Legends or Urban Legends in Westmont. Well since 2018 it has been known as Whiskey Hill Brewing and they are kicking out some badass beers. They are doing great old world styles while bringing the creativity with big NEIPA, Pastry Stouts, and Fruited Milkshakes or FLOATS! The atmosphere is great and the people behind the place are really fun to talk to. My fellow Leatherneck, Matt, Headbrewer Jon,

2019/03/14

Nice to have a class and intelligence on the show for once, but enough about Alex Lovinggood and his Pit Vipers. Danielle and Katie brought the knowledge on the podcast. I frequently found my eyes glazing over trying to keep up with Danielle's well thought out explanations to my moronic questions. This is an impressive group and they do so much for the Illinois Craft Beer scene, which is now widely considered one of the best 2 or 3 beer scenes in country.

2019/02/25

What a stunning place to have a beer in the burbs. Every detail mattered on this one. Just has the feel of a Northwoods tavern meets an old Irish Pub. The wood work, layout, and atmosphere are insanely cool. They are young but they will be a powerhouse summer spot.

During FOBAB week I got a chance to do an episode with Bottle Logic while they did a collaboration beer at More Brewing. Well, while doing that, Mike Pallen from Mikerphone happen to walk into the More taproom, so I asked for a minute of his time as well. What happened was an awesome 1 hour conversation between Shaun Berns (More Brewing), Mike Pallen (Mikerphone Brewing), and Brandon Buckner (Bottle Logic Brewing).

Thanks to Shaun at More Brewing, I got to piggy back on his collab with Bottle Logic and get a conversation in with Wes, Dylan, Brandon, and Steve from BL! Their beers are legendary in the secondary and trade market, so talking to them during FOBAB week just seemed to make sense. Just an awesome group of humble guys who are still having fun after 5 years!

Crafted 1979 Bottleshop in Mokena brewed their first collaboration beer for their one year anniversary with Hubbard's Cave. I got to accompany them for brew day along with a bunch of Crafted regulars they call Hoperatives. I set up the podcast gear and pitched in to help can V6 and dump some grain into this big ass dessert stout. Bananas Foster ingredients make breweries smell amazing by the way.

I travelled way on down past Champaign, IL to visit Triptych Brewing for their. Sausage (And Beer) Party. But before the party I got to spend 2+ hours with Anthony, Luke, and Mike from Triptych and find out a little bit about their story.
