Before we press play on this encore presentation, we want to extend our heartfelt thanks to you, our listeners. Your support is what makes this podcast possible, and we are incredibly grateful for the community that has grown around this show. As we’ve mentioned before, "Every time we've asked, you've done it and those numbers are really showing that. So thank you." So as we re-share this special conversation from our visit to Karl Strauss Brewing Company with Master Brewer Paul Segura, please pour yourself a beer, pull up a bar stool, and join us. From all of us here at I Like Beer, have a very happy and safe Thanksgiving.

The Jeffs thought they were just stopping by for Taco Tuesday, but they walked straight into a "Hall of Fame day" at Weirbeer. Turns out, Mo from Viewpoint and Ryan from Dos Desperados were joining host brewer Hayden for a special collaborative brew day. Listen in for the inside scoop on their three-way "Going Broke" beer series, hear the unfiltered stories you won't get anywhere else—like the time a bad Mexican logger had to be saved with salt and lime—and get their expert take on the future of San Diego craft beer.

When the Ramona Art and Wine Festival dropped "beer" from its name, hosts Jeff and Jeff took matters into their own hands, arriving with a cooler full of craft beer on a mission to correct this grave injustice. But their righteous quest gets wonderfully derailed by the town's hidden treasures, from a community mural project with secret hearts and a homegrown whiskey distillery to the stunning discovery that you can, in fact, milk a camel in Ramona. So pull up a bar stool and join two guys who prove that even the classiest festival is better with a cold one, as they celebrate the small town that's becoming the surprising heart of San Diego County.

It's that time of year again, San Diego Beer Week! The San Diego Brewers Guild is kicking it all off with The Capital of Craft Beer Festival. Kevin Hellman, event producer, and Jason Martin, head brewer at Abnormal Beer Company, join Jeff and Jeff in studio to explain the what, when, where and why of all things SD Beer Week. Jason brought a coveted, special release collab beer with its own story to tell. Pull up a barstool and join the fun! 

It's back to DogLeg Brewing for Jeff and Jeff. Co-owner Christina Lumsden chats about the DogLeg origin story and community. "You can't have golf without beer"--at least according to Christina who knows a lot about both. And then it gets wild as Brandon and Jomel from Birdies in the Outfield join the conversation and reminisce about our day of golf together. Like I Like Beer the Podcast, DogLeg and Birdies in the Outfield focus on supporting and building community, especially if laughing and making friends is involved! 

Jeff and Jeff meet up with Jeremy DeConcini, co-owner of Moto Sonora Brewing in Tucson, Arizona. The Moto Sonora origin story is an amazing tale that starts with a journey through South Africa, connects with San Diego Icon Tomme Arthur and ends in Tucson. Moto Sonora has been making award winning beers since day one and has become a centerpiece in the Tucson brewing scene. Pull up a barstool and take a listen!

The ILB Team makes the long awaited return to the studio to meet up with Producer Joe and Mateo.

The team heads to the other end of San Marcos this week to check out Michi Beer Company. The beers are top-notch which is no surprise considering the brewing resume of owner-head brewer, Cody Gagnon. The Jeffs and the Doctor head to the Tiki Room for Toast, Roast and Pour. Stay tuned to the end to get a glimpse at Doc's craic! 

Jeff and Jeff check in with Tommy Gordon at Blue Fire Brewing to see how ILB-Blue Fire Collaboration beer is coming along. The yet-to-be-named Rauchbier is already amazing with a little longer to lager. Names for the beer are discussed and plans set for the September 2th launch. To pair up with the rauchbier, Blue Fire has brewed a festbier as well. The commitment to authenticity and careful crafting means Blue Fire has two fantastic beers for the Oktoberfest season. 

After 6 years, ILB finally gets a one on one with San Brewing icon, Tomme Arthur, at the new Lost Abbey venue in Vista. Good things are definitely worth the wait! The beers were amazing, but the highlight is hearing Arthur's story and wisdom about succeeding in the beer market.  Lost Abbey has set the standard for craft beer, risk taking and incorporating story with beer. A Shawshank Beer included just to make the whole day perfect.

Join the Jeffs and Tom at Burgeon to hear all about the upcoming Oktoberfest festivities coming up in San Diego. Hear about Burgeon's Oktoberfest, Carlsbad Oktoberfest and BeerNardo.

In preparation for Oktoberfest, Doc and Talent head over to Blue Fire Brewing to brew a Bamburg specialty beer. The Doctor's in the house, so that means Beer or Not a Beer!? and Craic! 

After six years of podcasting, the team returns to its roots. From the backyard Pub Shed, they reminisce about macro beers of yesteryear and sample craft clones of the American Light Lager style from Booze Bros, South O and Paperback Brewing. Doc's back with Craic and the team is left pondering, what exactly is "man-size pleasure?" and "how bad is scurvy?"   

The Artifex Brewing story has a long and winding origin story that connects to brewing legend after brewing legend. It's no wonder that owner Johnny Johur has become such a respected member of the brewing community. With the Artifex 11 year anniversary nearing, it was time to learn more. The ILB team is joined by Mike Stevenson (Culver Beer) and Garrett Perkins (Booze Bros) to hear Johnny share his story and his beers. Pull up a barstool and take a listen!
