One of the greatest joys of HomeBrewCon is getting a chance to talk to interesting people and then get to see them recognized for what their doing. In this episode Drew sits down in conversation with Douglas Amport and John LaPolla – founders of New York City's only homebrew shop – Bitter & Esters. We talk about the challenges and joys of podcasting and running a homebrew shop. A day later, they won as the AHA's Homebrew Shop of the Year!Episode Links:Hop & Brew School – https://www.yakimachief.com/events/Denny & Drew on Beer Smith – http://beersmith.com/blog/2019/07/24/simple-homebrewing-with-denny-and-drew-beersmith-podcast-195/Drew's column in Craft Beer & Brewing – https://beerandbrewing.com/the-classic-appeal-of-the-american-lager/Facebook/Instagram Policy Update regarding Alcohol – https://beerandbrewing.com/the-classic-appeal-of-the-american-lager/Cantillon's Zwanse Beer – https://www.facebook.com/110627652322553/photos/a.119797978072187/246438…Zwanse Day Locations – https://www.facebook.com/Brasserie-Cantillon-110627652322553/Northern Brewer sold by ABI's ZX Ventures – https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20190711005456/en/Affiliate-Blackstreet-Capital-Holdings-LLC-Acquires-NorthernBitter & Esters – https://bitterandesters.com/Netflix – The Chef Show – https://www.netflix.com/title/81028317Netflix – The Taco Chronicles – https://www.netflix.com/title/81040704Netflix – Mission Control – The Unsung Heroes of Apollo – https://www.netflix.com/title/80175483Patreon Remember even a buck is good for charity: http://www.patreon.com/experimentalbrewingExperimental Brew Store – https://www.experimentalbrew.com/storeEpisode Contents:This episode is brought to you by:American Homebrewers Association BrewCraft USABrewing America CraftmeisterJaded BrewingMecca Grade Estate Malt PicoBrewWyeast LabsYCH HopsInterested in helping Denny and Drew with the IGOR program (aka help us run experiments!) – contact them at [email protected].
