The Beer Temple Podcast: Recent Episodes
The Beer Temple
Chris Quinn of The Beer Temple and Is/Was Brewing Owner Mike Schallau sit down with craft beer insiders to discuss the topics that matter most to them.
Sorry for any delays - we had a bit of a data breach and are trying to recover a few shows we recorded last month. In the mean time - Mike and Chris teamed up to see if together they could compete with a Beer Temple employee on a bling tasting challenge!

In this episode, Mike and Chris debate a recent article in All About Beer decrying the death of the beer bar at the hands of the brewery tap room.
But there's a twist: Chris and Mike decide to switch places, with Chris advocating for brewery tap rooms, and Mike championing specialty beer bars.

Mike and Chris sit down with Grant Pauly of @3sheepsbrewing, Keith Lemcke of @siebelinstitute and Pete Ternes of @middle_brow to discuss what makes Wisconsin so different than everywhere else, and how what it takes to survive means something completely different to each brewery. Finally, are TV's actually going to make bars MORE social???

For episode 300 we have a stacked panel in to discuss one of the most precipitous rise and falls in modern craft beer - The American Wild / Sour Ale
No punches are pulled as we discuss the origins of these beers, why they became the darling of the craft beer world, and their fall from grace - all with input from people who were there to experience it first hand. Plus we talk about why this fall might ultimately be a good thing, and reasons to feel optomistic about the future of some of the most complex and beautiful beers ever created.
Featuring Paul Arney of Ale Apothecary, Vinnue Cilurzo of Russian River, Ron Jeffries of Jolly Pumpkin, and John Laffler of Off Color.
