This episode features Mike Loveless and Sean Naughton of Artillery Brewing Co.

Mike started as a home brewer in 2013. His wife didn’t enjoy the house smelling like a brewery any longer. Mike had spent his early life in Europe and had become enamored with the cannon and history. Paul Zippel is Mike’s partner and they went looking for a place to expand their home brewing expertise. Sean came on board in November of 2020. He brought his beer and science background to Artillery. The team has been satisfying beer fans since April 2021. Their journey is fascinating and this episode provides insight into their young experiences. By the quality and character of their beer, you’d swear that they have been opened for years.

Episode 62 – Jack Fritz – Four Fingers Brewing Company

This episode features Jack Fritz of Four Fingers Brewing Company.

Jack has enjoyed craft beer from as early as he can remember trying his first beer. He introduced craft to his dad Ross. Ross began experimenting and brewing beer in his home. He was getting really good at it. So good in fact that they took the vacant space in a building that they own and opened Four Fingers Brewing Brewing Co. They swung open the doors in late January of 2020 just before the Covid restrictions went into place. The timing turned into a blessing in disguise. It has given them the time to hone their beer and dial in the process. This young craft brewery is producing some really fine beer.

Episode 55 – Punch Buggy Brewing Company – Patrick Coyne, John Riley and James Baker

This episode features Patrick Coyne , John Riley and James Baker of Punch Buggy Brewing Company.This brewery finds its origins as many breweries do. The foundation of home brewing, making beer and sharing it with friends. The idea was born out of a slightly different path. Attending beer festivals and becoming interested and excited by beer. Well, once you attend a beer festival you must try home brewing. Of course the first beers are hit and miss. But, eventually you begin to dial in the recipes and procedures. Punch Buggy is thriving because of the “not going to quit” attitude of its founders. They just about ran out of beer on their opening weekend. They realized they needed larger and more productive equipment. They collaborated and learned from other local breweries in the region. They have experienced growing pains. Now, every beer that they make is better than the last. Their beers have character, flavor and complex notes. All of the people behind Punch Buggy are determined, humble and hungry to offer the best beer possible.1445 N American St, Philadelphia, PA 19122 -www.punchbuggybrewing.com – Facebook

He has a background in fine arts and graphic design. This experience finds its way into the flavors and complexities of the beers that he creates. Fetish sources fresh ingredients from the farmland that surrounds the brewery. It’s some of the best farmland in the world. He even grows the ghost peppers for the ghost pepper stout. Fetish opened on January 24, 2021. This 3 years young brewery is turning out some incredible beers.

Hammonton ~ “Brewberry” Capital of the World

Hammonton New Jersey is the blueberry capital of the world. Just off of the Atlantic City Expressway and halfway between Philly and Atlantic City this berry meca is producing some first class beer. You can reach it by NJ transit if you prefer not to drive. Everything is within walking distance and most certainly worth the trip. This little town has so much to offer… Sensational Cannolis at Mannino’s Cannoli Express, Shopping, delicious Mexican dining and plenty of Italian food to choose from.

Still in the midst of the Covid shut down the business’s on the main streets struggle to keep the lights on and the doors open. Small business here is doing what they can with the restrictions that have been placed on them. That doesn’t appear to be deterring the production of beer. With 3 craft breweries there is soo much variety to choose from.

Our Hammonton Fermented Adventure started at Vinyl Brewing Company. They had a few tables set up outside and an area for curbside pick up. The highlight for us was being able to sit down at the bar and feel almost normal. It was the first day in months that they were allowed to be open for inside seating. We are big fans of sours and they definitely didn’t disappoint. We tried The DAG (Gose w/yogart, sea salt, coriander & Lime), He wears t-shirts sometimes (Hoppy Cream Ale), Daily Grind (Coffee Milk Stout) and Looks Good on You Though (Hammonton Blueberry Saison). Don’t worry IPA fans there are plenty there to satisfy you too.

Just a short trip up the Main Street is Chimney Rustic Ales. They created a nice outdoor garden area complete with herbs and hot peppers. At this point on our little visit the sun was starting to set. The beer we picked was a perfect compliment to the sunset. Brined Melon (Cucumber-Lime Gose) Which apparently was inspired by a favorite cocktail. Burn-one-Down is a sensational barrel aged smoked ale. They used Wild Turkey Barrels on this one. The Griz (Lemongrass Grisette) was spot on. This brewery is hitting all of the right notes.

Not even a mile away is Three 3’s Brewing Co. They have the largest outdoor seating area of the 3 breweries that we visited. The area is a perfect beer garden setting. The moon and stars began to appear. It was a crisp Summer Jersey night. The Chocolate Raspberry Stout and The Trifecta Saison (Blueberries, Strawberries and Blackberries) were perfect to complete our incredible visit to Hammonton. Well balanced and loaded with flavor.

OK, so we were not done yet. Any Fermented Adventure needs food. Just on the other side of the railroad tracks from Three 3’s is Ricca’s Brick Oven. If your still in the mood for Beer, Wine and Cocktails they have a full bar and they are featuring local pours. You can take out or eat in. The pizza is legit. We had the Mom’s Meatball Supreme.
