Oh, Spyglass has hazies alright, but there’s so much more

John Wagner and Isaac Boucher from Spyglass Brewing Co. join us on this week’s show.  They brewery made their name with their hazy IPAs.  Thanks to a recent expansion there’s now a lot more on tap  Isaac tells us he’s been enjoying brewing some lagers and playing with all the new hops.  We joke about people wanting more variety in their IPAs… as long as they’re still hazy/juicy/tropical.  Good times.

We chat about all the cool innovations in ingredients available to brewers now.  Modified yeasts (yay GMOs!), new hops, craft malts.  We’re living in the future, people.  So much great beer out there.  Make sure to drink it all and keep these breweries open.

To take things to a whole. ‘nother. level. Spyglass has a Quad IPA.  We chat about the difference between a QIPA and a Barleywine, and sipping on those big boys.  We chat more on raw ales, maybe we’ll see one of those from Spyglass soon.

If you’re near Nashua, NH make sure to stop and have a beer or two with the crew.  If not, follow them on the socials to see what they’re up to.

Atlanta has a Michelin guide!

Y’all, we had to talk about this.  The Foodie… Oscars? finally hit Atlanta.  This week we got our first Michelin guide.  We haven’t visited any of the spots that got a star, but several of the Michelin Recommended and Bib Gourmand spots we’ve raved about and, if you follow us on the socials, you’ve likely seen pics.  Cheers to Deer and the Dove, Little Bear, and Fishmonger on their awards.

More from Georgia.  Creature Comforts Brewing’s union vote failed to pass with a vote of 32-21.  We think that says a lot these days.  More info and opinions in the show.
