This week we are live from Moontown Brewing and the Moontown Market. One of the brewery owners, Bobby Mattingly, joins the show to discuss the three beers they released (Kolsch, Vienna Lager, and Juicy Hazy IPA) and the Moontown Market. We also dive into marketing strategies, state parks, and give a shoutout to each of the vendors from the Market.

This week Matt and Dustin imbibe on three different versions of Phase Three Brewing's Pressed Imperial Coffee Porter. The conversation dives into what they think quality beer means, the lack of love for classic beer styles, and what are some of the best retail stores to find great beer selections around Indiana.

This week Matt and Dustin discuss Shinobi Lager from Blockhead Brewing, 14 Karat Golden IPA from Sun King Brewery, More Fest 2023, and an article about how beer festivals are dying.

We partied hard last Friday, attending Ash & Elm's 7th Anniversary Party, then winding down at Kismetic Beer Company afterwards. Lots of great ciders and beers were imbibed that evening.

The Indiana Brewer's Cup also took place last weekend and we discuss the results. Shoutout to Primeval Brewing for their big victory.

And to round out the show we discuss a few upcoming beer events and how the community has come out in droves to help Black Circle get back on their feet.

The day has finally come. After years of talking about brewing a collaboration beer with Sean Manahan at Kopacetic Beer Factory, we finally did it. This episode features discussion of the brew day itself, the beers we collaborated on, and additional interviews with both Manahan and Cody Moon of Science Project Brewing.
