We’re joined in the OG studio this week by @BBBThreeRivers’ very own — Chef Joe Robbins!With five months of operating Milo’s kitchen under his belt, Joe reflects on the nuances of serving top-notch food in a small town, rolling with an incredibly lean crew (he represents 50% of kitchen staff), and finding profit in sourcing locally. We also get into how Joe’s Penobscot heritage influences his approach to food, the many virtues of @RezDogsFX, and the truly touching story that got him into the kitchen in the first place.Our entire conversation is available NOW, wherever locally grown podcasts are harvested.🍔🏀🥩🍁🌮🍻🧀🥕📈❤️🌾.Music: “Mountain Climb” by @JakeHillInternet .#ChefJoe #ComfortFood #Bison #NavajoTacks #Mozzarella #SkeletonCrew #KnowYourFarmer #PenobscotNation #LouisSockalexis #NativeCuisine #ReservationDogs #YungSweeneyTodd #Homebrewing #BeerPodcast #GrainGang

Graining In. A weekly podcast where Noah Bissell (mediocre brewer, recovering pessimist) and Matt Robinson (taproom manager, retired rapper) sit down with and without guests to discuss eclectic topics *usually* relevant to the world of beer. Conversations are sometimes technical, often not, but always aim to find the macro threads that keep people motivated and inspired to wake up every morning and pursue their craft. Everyone’s day starts with that first step, so turn the auger on get to Graining In.
