What brewing podcasts are folks listening to these days? This topic pops up on the forums from time-to-time, but it has been a few years, and I’m sure I’ve missed some.
Experimental Brewing is my primary podcast “home,” Brew’d Up is another favorite, and I also listen to Brulosophy from time to time.
I like stuff that has interesting interviews, and the inside baseball stuff is often intriguing for me…I don’t particularly care for the “beer-bro” podcasts (i.e., podcasts with language/topics/ads that I wouldn’t listen to with my spouse or kids around). I usually listen to stuff on my phone, so YouTube channels are also of minimal interest (although I really enjoy watching Brew Dudes and Brulosophy).
So, what am I missing? What should I consider listening to?
BeerSmith podcast has quality guests that seem to be creating the near term ‘future of homebrewing’ (e.g. Chris Graham in #309)
Basic Brewing Radio, especially when my interests and their themes align. If the current topics are not interesting to me, there’s a 20 year backlog of episodes.
The aforementioned plus:
- Drink Beer, Think Beer
- All About Beer
- How Not to Start a Damn Brewery (moderate cussing in this one)
- The Brü Lab
- BYO Nano
- Craft Beer and Brewing
I can’t keep up with every episode of all of these; so I have to pick and choose episodes. My podcast queue is sitting at 27½ hours right now…
I used to listen to podcasts all the time when I went to the Y regularly but fell out of that practice when the facility closed for covid. This week however I started back up and refreshed all my go-to homebrew pod-casts… Basic Brewing Video (watch on the treadmill), Experimental Brewing with Denny & Drew, and The Brulosophy Podcast.
The ones I listen to regularly:
Basic Brewing Radio
Master Brewers Podcast
Craft Beer & Brewing
and the multiple podcasts from Brulosophy
There are others, but these are my faves.
Often
Experimental Brewing
Craft Beer and Brewing
Sometimes
Beersmith
Basic Brewing Radoo

- Sense of Beer Style is a pretty good primer on various beer styles.
- Brew Strong with Jamil Zainasheff is pretty good, though it’s schedule has been sporadic lately.
- The Start a Brewery Podcast has some great info on going pro. It started its second season this year, but the last episode was back in July.
- MoreBeer has one, but it’s just the audio of some of their YouTube videos. eh.
The others I listen to have already been mentioned:
- BYO Nano Podcast
- How Not to Start a Damn Brewery
- BeerSmith Homebrewing Podcast
I listen to one podcast.
Homebrew Happy Hour! I joined one of their Tier Member slots and get a brew kit every other month. Down to earth discussions as Josh, Todd and James answer questions posted by the listeners.
Might be a little rougher than what you’re looking for, but I’ve gone back and I’m starting The Session over again from day one. Lots of great information.
