Here is the 4th beer-y podcast of the year. And thanks to the power of the interwebs, we can listen to Tales of the Cask in L.A. even though they are based in North Carolina.
The strong point of the podcast, for me is the news section. Episode 100 even had shout-outs to Monkish Brewing and to LA Weekly! Maybe I just picked the right episode to listen in on. The main section of their triple digit podcast was with Lagunitas which had some good nuggets of the Petaluma brewery lore and some “scarce” beers. The pace could have been picked up and the questions more advanced for my taste. Primarily because I have already read the Tony Magee book, I felt ahead of the game. I wanted more info on the Chicago brewery and other brewing topics. But then a recent podcast with Anchor Brewing was much tighter (and again mentioned L.A.) and the beer talk was more on point with more details.
Overall the podcast is too long for me though. But I like the format and the people. Nice distinct voices and good commentary. Smart folks. If packaged in 30 minutes, I would enjoy it more.
