211- Rowley Farmhouse Ales 2024 | Funky Ales and Culinary Tales
(NSFW) In this episode, Ed regales Nate and Chris with tales from his visit to the iconic Rowley Farmhouse Ales in Santa Fe, New Mexico. The studio comes alive with the popping of corks as the trio embarks on a beer-tasting adventure. The first sip is the uniquely crafted "Teosinte," a farmhouse ale where Oaxacan green dent corn, and Teosinte a Mexican grass take center stage creating a delightful symphony of corn sweetness and funk. As they savor the ale, and try to use words to descibe the grassy notes they are tasting. But somehow fall short. Despite John's absence in Tucson, he ensures Ed has a splendid time at Rowley, known not only for its exceptional brews but also for its outstanding food. The culinary highlights, including pineapple upside-down cake, gyro tacos, and red chili fries, become part of the storytelling, creating a sensory-rich experience. The tasting journey continues with "Supernatant," a robust creation featuring Norwegian Farmhouse yeast and Grüner Veltliner lees from Vivac Winery. The beer, bottled with Alfalfa honey, unfolds as a crisp and funky sour ale—a perfect companion for shared moments with friends. The third and final tasting, "If You Must - Tablas Creek," offers a glimpse into the world of lactobacillus Berlin-style weissbier, aged in Tablas Creek Esprit de Tablas Blanc barriques on fresh Mourvèdre must. The result is a nuanced beer with notes of grape skin tannins, oak-derived vanillin, and a refreshing tartness. This one makes Nate reach for the Tums!

Chandler bases Buqui Bichi Brewing is ready to open its second location in Phoenix this year, and The Starving Artist, powered by OHSO Spirits, prepares to breathe new life into the old Helton Brewing Company space. Phoenix Magazine's intriguing article, "The 12-Pack of Arizona Beers We Sent to Texas For Losing a Bet," becomes a point of discussion—do they agree with the list, and how many of these beers would they personally savor? Also on the list is a style not really talked about the Southwest IPA. What is that? On the non-alcoholic front, White Claw makes a surprising move, introducing just a plain old seltzer water. Nate, ever the cider enthusiast, expresses a longing for more hop-infused ciders at Cider Corp. But that's just one mans opinion.

So he put together his own list of the best Arizona craft beers and breweries that you should try if you're only in town for a weekend.
