The crew heads just south of the WI-IL border to visit Antioch Fine Wine and Liquors for their 7th Annual Summer Tent Event! We catch up with old friends like Lakefront and Only Child, and meet some new friends from Canarchy, Collective Arts, 9th Hour, Half Day, Zum Bier, and the Boot Campaign for Veterans! We also sit down with Rick from Antioch for a special tasting at the end, along with Chris, our MVP! Lots of special beers from all of these breweries for our live tasting, and breaking news galore. Grab a glass of TTP/Mobcraft’s Solid Non Fail Stout and join us! Cheers!
As promised, this week Fred Swanson and Jason Walters – organizers of the Great Taste of the Midwest beer festival in Madison, WI – sit down with the Tap Takeover Podcast to discuss the entire process behind the scenes of organizing one of the most successful beer fests in the country. We discuss some of the most outrageous table display award winners, the pre- and post-celebration festivities, and we put Fred and Jason to the test when we ask them to “take over the taps” with some of their favorite beers from over the decades. Thanks again to friends of the show at Ale Asylum for hosting us. Grab a pint of Velveteen Habit IPA to enjoy the episode, and we’ll see you at the Great Taste of the Midwest! Cheers!
Stay up-to-date with a Special 6-minute Installment from the Beer News Department at the Tap Takeover Podcast! This week we sat down with Fred and Jason, the organizers of the Great Taste of the Midwest Festival in Madison, WI to discuss two of the most popular features of the fest – the Real Ale Tent and the Presentation Tent. Grab a pint of Schlafly Summer Lager and join us for the fun. Cheers!
The Tap Takeover Podcast Crew get together for another special tasting episode. Just in time for the 2018 release of Central Waters’ Barrel-Aged Scotch Ale, we’ll be tasting four Scotch Ales aged in different barrels. This episode has a local vibe to it as we are trying all Wisconsin beers! We start the journey with Raised Grain’s Batch 200 – their Six Stone Scotch Ale aged in scotch whiskey barrels for 6 months. We then do a side-by-side of the 2017 and 2018 Lord Lyon from Good City Brewing – Scotch Ales aged in Rye Whiskey Barrels. We finish it off with Central Waters’ 2017 Scotch Ale, this one is aged in Bourbon Barrels. Grab yourself a Wee Heavy and see if you agree with the guys! Cheers!
