Our Humble Beer Podcast

Our Humble Beer Podcast heads to its first-ever live event at Bearden Beer Market. In part one of their adventure, Chris & D.J. talk with Last Days of Autumn about their new brewery and talk with Blue Pants Brewing about some of the exciting changes and updates at their brewery.

Note: Part Two, featuring Marty Velas of Fanatic Brewing will be out on February 2nd. 

Chris & D.J. team up with Donnie Foust of Inebriated Wisdom for a podcast at Alliance Brewing. The guys hang out with a few friends, sample Alliance's Pumpkin Java beer, and talk with the brewers of Alliance (Adam Ingle and Ben Seamans) about the beer and progress at Alliance. 

Comedian Matt Ward catches up with Chris & D.J. at Scruffy City Hall to talk about life in comedy, craft beer, and the Scruffy City Comedy Festival. Matt gets the honor of trying his first sour beer with the guys, and he also talks about the mini sour festival happening during the Scruffy City Comedy Festival. 

For once in their lives, D.J. and Chris are #1 at something. They won the Knox Mercury reader poll for Top Podcast in Knoxville! In this episode they gloat, drink beer and laugh heartily as they recount their victory. Then they get back to doing what they do best: getting down on themselves for their failures in the podcast this year. After all, you gotta stay humble, right? So join D.J. and Chris as they hang out at Flow and discuss what it feels like to be winners. 

PS, Chris & D.J. would like to thank all the great fans that listen to us and supported us in the vote for Top Knox!

Devils Backbone Brewing Company just launched here in Knoxville, and Alexis Goldstein was kind enough to sit down with us to talk about their launch. Tune in as we talk with Alexis about all things Devils Backbone, the adventures of working in the industry, and how she pronounces "Knoxville." 

After a few unforeseen delays, the podcast is back on track. So, without further ado, please join Chris & D.J. as they hang out on a Sunday afternoon sampling beers, and chilling at Flow Brew Parlor with Brad Peer and friends. As they say in the coffee world, better "latte" than never!

The tour continues as the gang travels to Alliance Brewing. There they discuss, hops, barley, water, and how they all come together not just to make beer, but to make art. So come and join the Chris & DJ as they go on a trip with Zack Roskop of Knox Brew Tours, Aaron McClain of Crafty Bastard Brewery, Matthew Cummings of Pretentious Beer Glass & Brewing, and Adam Ingle from Alliance Brewing as they discuss the craft of getting a brewery off the ground and the burgeoning craft beer scene in Knoxville.

What's better than a tour of Knoxville's finest breweries? How about touring some of the most highly anticipated, soon to be open breweries in Knoxville with the brewers of said breweries? Sound too good to be true? Well, that was the pitch that Chris & DJ got from Zack Roskopp at Knox Brew Tours. And, believe it or not, it happened.

This epicness could not be contained to one podcast, and had to be split into two episodes, and we think you'll understand why once you listen. So come and join the Chris & DJ as they go on a trip with Zack Roskopp of Knox Brew Tours, Aaron McClain of Crafty Bastard Brewery, Matthew Cummings of Pretentious Beer Glass & Brewing, and Adam Ingle from Alliance Brewing as they discuss the craft of getting a brewery off the ground and the burgeoning beer scene in Knoxville. 

A week after Knoxville Brewfest, D.J. and Chris break down the event and discuss Knoxville Craft Beer Week as well as Chris's recent trip to Italy and his adventures finding craft beer there. They also talk about "What's Next" for the podcast and what you can expect in the coming weeks and months.

Join D.J. and Chris as they talk with professional brewer and Knoxville craft beer legend, Ratchet, at Flow Brew Parlor in downtown Knoxville. This week's featured beverages were provided by Brad Peer, the owner, operator, and coffee genius at Flow. Both drinks feature Terrapin's Liquid Bliss Porter.
