Michigan Brews
The livestream is now also a podcast! Join Jason, Jordan, and Brian as they talk homebrewing with professionals across the Michigan craft beer industry (and sometimes a little out of state!) The show has a heavy emphasis on homebrewing and brewing beer/mead/cider/seltzer in general. We're passionate about the hobby of homebrewing and want everyone to be as successful as they can be. We started this show during quarantine in attempt to satiate our desire to talk about brewing with people while club meetings all went to virtual or were cancelled all together. Sometimes we stray off topic, sometimes the audio isn't great, sometimes we drink a little too much... But it's what we like to do in real life and so we decided to just do it live instead and see if anyone wanted to join in, which people have! Podcasts will appear within 48 hours of our live show ending. Catch our live shows most Mondays at 7:30pm EST. We stream to Youtube, Facebook, and Twitch!

Episode 58 - Bad Reception and Beer Talk
This weeks episode was originally scheduled to be with Gail Milburn where we were going to discuss the Michigan Mead Cup, brewing mead, competitions, and all mead related things. Unfortunately we caught Gail in the "wild north" of Michigan with some limited internet.  Because of that we pushed the episode with her out until November 1st. This episode may cut abruptly to Jordan, Jason, and I talking so I just wanted to give everyone a heads up.  Instead of Gail we decided to continue on with a more laid back episode with some general beer (and home ownership?) talk. Thanks in advance for understanding and we'll catch you next week!

Episode 54 - (Theoretically) Distilling Old Beer
In 2020 many homebrew competitions were canceled due to the pandemic. In some cases where the homebrew had already been shipped to the comp, that homebrew was donated and distilled into hand sanitizer, in a way making all of us homebrewers Heroes! This got us thinking about distilling beer in general, be it for hand sanitizer or spirits. So grab a beer or some other adult beverage an join us as we share what we have learned about this topic, and maybe commiserate about all of our gold medal beer that was dumped or distilled over the last year!
