Customer Reviews
Great craft beer and homebrewing podcast
I'm a huge craft beer geek, and honestly most craft beer podcasts are pretty bad. This one, though, is consistently a high level of intelligent dialogue about beer and homebrewing. While if you are a homebrewer, it will certainly have things you'll appreciate, you absolutely don't need to be a homebrewer to enjoy it. Brad's a very good interviewer who (so far) has had on interesting guests with new things to say. They avoid the traps of talking about their opinions, and instead focus on pretty cool craft beer topics.
Intelligent discussions
I stumbled upon this in iTunes. I have been wanting to start home brewing and looking to soak up as much info as possible. This is great. It's not dumbed down in the least. I would recommend this for beginners and seasoned veterans alike. I hope this podcast keeps churning out great episodes with interesting interviews from all parts of the beer industry
Great software too.
BeerSmith and BBR together are a homebrewer's treasure chest.
