Step back into the studio with Rob Fullmer and Andrew Bauman as they test out some shiny new video equipment and dive into the evolving landscape of the homebrewing community. In this jam-packed episode, Andrew hits the road for an exclusive inside look at two major Arizona craft breweries in Mojave County. First, he tours the massive new 10,000-square-foot expansion at College Street Brewing Company in Lake Havasu City with Jason Helart, exploring their fully automated 60-barrel system, custom water-canning operations, and state-of-the-art vacuum distillation setup. Then, the journey continues to Kingman, where Rickety Cricket's Brewer and GM, Danny Gutierrez, takes us behind the scenes of their production facility to talk glycol controllers, the "heartbreak" of canning lines, and their highly successful Camelot Renaissance Faire event. Back in the studio, the guys share a bottle of Bayview Saison and brainstorm alternative fermentation trends, from Honeycrisp apple ciders to small-batch tree-to-pot experiments.

You get a whirlwind chronicle of aggressive itineraries, midnight food quests, and inside-baseball industry truths. Fresh off a massive international trip, Rob recounts flying into the city incognito, embracing a chaotic sleep cycle, and hunting down the absolute best dive bars Philly has to offer.

From navigating the fine-absorbing smoky neighborhood tabs to comparing the roar of a Phillies crowd to the thunderous stands of South Korean stadiums, the duo leaves no stone unturned. They unpack a dramatic, sudden brewery reopening that shocked the local industry, trade legendary road-trip stories about legendary sandwich structures, and dive deep into data trends revealing which breweries are truly feeling the post-pandemic economic squeeze.

S4E175: A Casual Catch-Up with Camila Alarcon
In this episode, recorded at 100 Mile Brewing Co. in Tempe, hosts Andrew Bauman and Rob Fullmer are joined by Camila Alarcon, General Counsel for the Arizona Craft Brewers Guild. The trio navigates the complex "gray areas" of alcohol legislation, from the historical evolution of smoking bans to modern-day disputes over restaurant food ratios and underage drinking enforcement. They provide an inside look at the administrative hurdles of liquor licensing and a controversial proposed ordinance in Tempe aimed at preventing drink tampering. The following discussions do not constitute legal advice! The listener will understand that these issues are complex and vary on business model, locale, and other highly specific matters that are best discussed with a liquor attorney/agent. If you filed your license as your agent, that person is you when it probably should be a qualified liquor attorney. Contact your guild for a referral. Licensing and Interim Permits: The group discusses the technical fears regarding liquor license renewals and the five-year felony rule, emphasizing how administrative filing errors can jeopardize a business's ability to carry over employees. High Tops vs. Restaurants: A deep dive into the "Series 12" restaurant license requirements, where agents may audit a business based on its furniture (high-top tables) or whether they make their own ranch dressing from scratch to determine if it is truly a restaurant or a bar. Tempe’s Anti-Roofie Ordinance: The hosts discuss a proposed Tempe law that would require bars to have drink covers and drug-detection products on hand to prevent "roofing". The Tempe Tavern Incidents: A breakdown of the legal process following two major raids at Tempe Tavern, where hundreds of underage individuals were arrested.

S4E170: I Want You To Put The Word Out There That We Back Up
This week, dive deep into the emotional and financial realities of life after the Guild. With one host no longer officially employed by the AZCBG, the conversation explores the awkward shift in tone, new roles, and the challenges of maintaining a platform dedicated to Arizona's breweries. After learning he would not be continuing his employment with the Guild due to a lack of funds, Rob Fullmer took a trip to Germany to attend the last weekend of Oktoberfest. Immediately following his return, he traveled to Denver to attend the Great American Beer Festival (GABF). The transition was difficult; he confessed that he is struggling with not having the job and still thinks about it frequently. He noticed a personal change, beginning to buy more hoodies as he no longer felt the need to be in the spotlight. Rob also visited the Navajo Nation for three or four days, noting a lack of beer available in that area. Despite the change in his professional status, he continued to participate in the podcast, motivated by his belief in the Guild's mission of supporting and celebrating Arizona breweries. He mentioned future plans, specifically to go to the Celly Drippings event in North Carolina from November 21st through the 24th. How will the show move forward? Structurally, Rob proposed a shift in roles: he will focus on "just doing the producing" and wishes for Andrew to take on a "bigger role" in the hosting and content, particularly by "doing a lot of interviewing". They agreed the show should feature more guests moving forward. Rob suggested the long-term vision was always for the podcast to grow into an "Arizona beer frontier being sort of a network" with more shows. Want to ask a question on the show?

S4E168: Beer Hiking Author Kevin Holsapple
On this episode, Andrew and Rob chat with Kevin Holsapple, the author of Beer Hiking Southern Rockies. Kevin, a resident of Northern New Mexico, explains the unique concept of his book which pairs hiking trails in Arizona and other states with nearby breweries. The discussion delves into urban hikes in Phoenix, the challenges of a difficult Grand Canyon hike, and how to stay hydrated on the trail. Andrew and Kevin also explore the importance of face-to-face interactions in the craft beer community and debate the true meaning of a "hike." Beer Hiking Southern Rockies is a book by Kevin Holsapple and Yitka Winn that features 54 hikes and microbreweries in the four-corner states of Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona, and Utah. Each hike is paired with a local craft beer from a nearby brewery or brewpub. The book also includes notes on the beer's appearance, aroma, and taste, as well as an inside look at the brewing process. Kevin Holsapple is a retired tourism professional with decades of experience in New Mexico, living near Santa Fe. He is also a travel and beer hiking blogger at primepassages.com. His blog, Prime Passages, is a collection of articles and stories aimed at inspiring lovers of beer, hiking, and travel. The site includes a curated list of books for beer hikers on Bookshop.org, including Beer Hiking Southern Rockies. He also has a "Beer Hiker's Journal" available.
