A fictional story from the Double Hopbeat PODCAST Something strange has appeared on the Brew Map. A mysterious message. An abandoned brewery. An unlabeled keg. And a pint that someone clearly doesn't want James and Shannon to drink... yet. As they follow a trail of clues, they begin to realize the mystery may have less to do with where the beer came from and more to do with why they were led there in the first place. For Episode 150, Double Hopbeat goes somewhere it has never gone before. The question is... will they find the last pint before it's too late?

Continuing the brewing road trip, Shannon and James travel to North Carolina with Keith’s Brewing Story. A story about a homebrewer who’s been at it for decades and realized brewing didn’t fail them, the season just changed.
If you’ve ever looked at your brew gear and thought, ‘I don’t have the energy for this today,’ this episode is for you. Homebrewing is supposed to be fun. It’s supposed to be relaxing. But somewhere along the way, for a lot of us, it starts to feel like homework. In this edition of the Brew Map Project James and Shannon are talking about why that happens, how common it actually is, and why the answer might not be brewing harder, but changing the assignment.
A Valentine treat from Double Hopbeat.
