The Indie Beer Show - Farewell Episode
After three years and more than 120 episodes, The Indie Beer Show has made the difficult decision to bring down the curtain on the podcast...but not without saying a proper goodbye to all the amazing people who've supported the show and made it so much fun to be a part of.
Tune in live to share some laughs and memories with Brandon, Esthela, Abel and, yes, even Brian, who'll be back out of retirement for this very special occasion. We plan to have some other fun guests...maybe even you!
If you'd like to come on the show, so you can say "hi" or "how could you?" in person, just email our producer Abel at [email protected]. We want this last show of ours to be loads of fun and nothing has made it more enjoyable over the years than all of you.
Please plan to join us, and thanks for three years of amazingly good times...and good beer!
We at The Indie Beer Show (including co-founder Brian Beagle) have a special announcement for you today. Please take a look and a listen, process, then make plans to join us for a very special live episode on Thursday, September 30 at 6:30 p.m.!
Live with Craft Coast
There are few local products San Diegans are prouder of than craft beer and Mexican food, which makes it hard to believe it took so long for a brewpub specializing in Mexican food and beers that pair exceptionally well with them to come along. But finally, like a gift from the heavens, a pair of entrepreneurs brought such a concept to Oceanside. Enter Craft Coast Beer and Tacos, a place that is what it is...and then some. Join us as we spend some time with co-founder and head brewer Blake Masoner, talking about two of the most exquisite topics on the planet and everything that went into bringing Craft Coast to life.
As always, we'd love for you to drink along with us, so if you want to swing by Oceanside and pick up some crowlers, here's what we'll be drinking.
- Agua Baja | Mexican-style Lager (4.5%)
- Oscura Negra | Dark Lager (5.2%)
- Hop Pop | Unfiltered West Coast IPA w/ Yakima Chief Cryo-Pop Hops
(6.8%)

Live with Athletic Brewing Company
Non-alcoholic beer. Not even worthy of an exclamation point, right? Kind of ick-inducing? In most cases, that's sadly the case, but there's a N/A beer company with a local presence that's making taking a break from all the ABV kind of cool. That interest goes by the name Athletic Brewing. Born in Connecticut, they moved to the left coast in 2019 to set up a brewery at Ballast Point's former barrel-aging facility on Trade Street. Since then, they've brought aboard a number of well-known San Diego brewers who are working together to produce N/A beer that's a cut above and displays diversity of flavors and styles. Join us as we talk to Athletic founder John Walker and Director of Brewing Kevin Henschel about their bi-coastal beer biz and what it's been like making a home in the beer capital of the US.
Want to join in the drinking portion of the evening? By all means, please do! Here's what we'll be sampling throughout the show:
- Upside Sawn Golden Ale
- Downwinder Gose
- Tropical Sour
- Run Wild IPA
And if you have any questions you'd like to ask, email them to us at [email protected] or hit us up in the comments below.
Live with Deschutes Brewery
In the craft-beer world,, few names are as big as Deschutes Brewery. Opened in 1988 as a small brewpub, this Bend, Oregon operation has grown into the tenth-largest craft-brewing company in the country behind a variety of beers, ranging from sessionable mainstays to barrel-aged specialties and hop-driven pales and IPAs. We'll be diving into the latter with Product Development Director Veronica Vega and Brewer Jeff "Verno" Johnson, and welcome you to come along for the lupulin-laced ride.
If you'd like to drink along with us, we will be sampling the following beers:
- Squeezy Rider | West Coast IPA w/ Strata Hops (7%)
- Symphonic Chronic | West Coast IPA (7.2%)
- Haze Tron | Hazy Imperial IPA w/ Cryo Hops (8%)

Live with Pizza Port
Their brewpubs dot the SoCal coastline like beacons beckoning ale and lager fans to good beer...and also pizza! You know them, you love them, you've had way too much fun at their picnic-tabled outposts. We are, of course, talking about Pizza Port, who'll be our guests on August 5. Tune in as we talk about tasty grub and grog with Head Brewer Sean Farrell, Senior Sales and Brand Development maven Jill Olesh and Marketing Manager Joe Arguello!

Live with Resident Brewing
Nestled within @The-Local-Eatery-and-Drinking-Hole in the Gaslamp Quarter, Resident-Brewing has long been a hangout for game-going Friars fans. Pre- and post-gaming San Diego Padres die-hards have been hitting the brewpub up even more of late following Resident''s recent collaboration with right-handed starting pitcher Joe Musgrove, AKA: the first Pads hurler ever to throw a perfect game. The result of that meeting of the minds is No-No Joe, a mega-hopped Double IPA that we'll be drinking along with some of Resident's other beers when they join us on the podcast.

Live with One Season Brewing
It's a coffee shop. It's an adventure-sports outfitter. It's...a nanobrewery! Stop, you're all correct. The Grantville industrial suite that started out as TRVLR Coffee Roasters has expanded to offer wares to outdoor enthusiasts and beer drinkers alike. The latter are serviced by One Season Brewing, an operation specializing in refreshing, low-calorie ales and lagers, the type one might enjoy after a day of hiking or biking. See, it's all starting to make sense, but we'll get further clarification on what this multifaceted operation is all about from owner Dan Romeo.
It's always fun meeting new people, especially beer people, so tune in. And as always, if you have questions for our guests, email them to us at [email protected] or hit us up in the comments below.
Live with Pat & Shawn from Mcilhenney Brewing.
When you're talking about brewers with cult followings, there are few as legendary as the father-son duo that founded Alpine Beer Co. Pat and Shawn Mcilhenney churned out West Coast IPAs that would go on to be archetypes for modern hop-centric beers, before selling the business and, eventually, becoming separated from their baby. Beer fans far and wide lamented the loss until last year when Pat and Shawn announced they and their wives were starting a new family business, Mcilhenney Brewing. That interest is set to open, and not just anywhere. The Mcilhenneys built their passion project in the same pair of suites that originally housed Alpine Beer Co.
Join us as we get the low-down on everything to expect from the new business, starting with the beer.
As far as podcast episodes go, this qualifies as can't-miss. So don't miss it! And, as always, if you have questions for our guests, email them to us at [email protected] or hit us up in the comments below.
Live with Burgeon at The Arbor & Good Seed Food Company
Since opening in 2016, Carlsbad's Burgeon Beer Co. has been one of the county's biggest success stories.

Join us as we discuss the past year and these recently debuted spots with Burgeon co-founder Matthew Zirpolo, marketing guru Mackenzie Graham and longtime friend of the show/chef extraordinaire Jesus "Chuy" de la Torre, the culinary mind manning the kitchen at The Arbor.

- Pickled Black Grapes paired with Pistil Pils
