The Tap Takeover Podcast is hitting the road again, visiting Chicago for a super-sized 2-part interview with Goose Island Brewing. We sit down with R&D Brewer Quinn Fueschl, Brewhouse Brewer Pete Olsen, and Cellermen Reed Schwenger, Sam Jackson and Marc Drucker for a live tasting of the entire 2017 Bourbon County lineup, and a conversation about the challenges of producing beer on a global scale. We get into the technical aspects of the Bourbon County formulation and brewing/barreling process, the new “Gold Standard” program for controlling quality of all AB InBev brewed beers, and the secret behind a great barleywine. Grab a pint of BCBS-Coffee variant, and join us in the barrel warehouse for another exciting episode! Cheers!

Our collaboration beer, Solid Non-Fail Stout, an awesome Imperial Maple Coffee Stout is now available for preorder! Order yours now then listen in to our ongoing series as we brew it.

The Tap Takeover Podcast crew gathers to do a deep dive into some of the funny moments which didn’t make it on the air this year. Including bloopers from our interviews with Half Acre, Stillmank, Girls Pint Out, and Central Waters, as well as random thoughts on Jim’s childhood, the “Miller Light of Stouts,” and the infamous Mango Magnifico tape. Be prepared, this episode might be a bit more raunchy than most, but it’s all in good fun as we look back at a hilarious 2017, and turn our eyes towards an exciting 2018 on the Podcast. Grab a pint of Yellowbelly Sundae to join our tasting, and cheers to you and yours this holiday season!

The Tap Takeover Podcast is on the road again, travelling down to Chicagoland to chat with Mikerphone Brewing. Owner Mike Pallen and his brew crew of Kyle and Mike join us to discuss their hoppy, hazy IPA’s, the challenges of accommodating 800+ people at a special release, and the expansion of their fledgling barrel-aging program. Will we see an expansion into the Wisconsin market sometime soon? What are some of the new Mikerphone collaborations in the works? When will the barrel-aged Smells Like Bean Spirit hit the market? Grab a pint of Super Special Sauce and join our tasting, in progress, for all these answers and more! Cheers!

The Tap Takeover Podcast Crew brings you a special edition from the Beer New Department: a special tasting of today’s Founders Brewing Canadian Breakfast Stout release! Cheers and Enjoy!

The Tap Takeover Podcast is in the Riverwest neighborhood of Milwaukee to chat with Black Husky Brewing. Owners Toni and Tim Eichinger take the TTP Crew through brewery’s origins in Pembine, WI, the move to their new location in the Riverwest, and their plan to include all 23 sled dogs on their beer labels. We learn how Black Husky got it’s reputation for being purposely difficult, and for having “the worst tour in town,” a monicker that they are very proud of. Grab a pint of Sproose Double IPA and join us for a fun-filled episode. Cheers!

The Tap Takeover Podcast is coming live from Jesus’ Pumpkin Patch for a special tasting of Pumpkin beers. And we’re joined by a special guest to help advocate for the pumpkin spice flavor. Should pumpkin beers be cellar aged? Can Andy, a pumpkin-beer hater, be converted? Join us for a short tasting episode to kick off the Thanksgiving holiday season with Lakefront Brewery, Southern Tier, Schlafly, Whole Hog, and Avery. Cheers!

The Tap Takeover Podcast pays another visit to Bayview to grab a pint at Enlightened Brewing Company. The TTP Crew sits down with Founder/Co-Owner Tommy Vandervort and Co-Owner James Larson to discuss the brewery’s origins, plans to handle expansion, moving to their new location, and why they love Bayview so much. Jim gets schooled by a Philosophy Major while we learn how Enlightened comes up with the unique names for their beers. We touch on #HateHasNoHomeHere from this past summer, and what would the Tap Takeover Podcast be without a live tasting? Including an Amber that definitely doesn’t suck, and a special-release edition of Beer News! Cheers!

A quick message from the Beer News Department at the Tap Takeover Podcast regarding an upcoming Tap Takeover at Kindred on KK this Saturday 11/4. Cheers to the Black Gold from Central Waters!
