Episode 129 – von C Brewing Co. – Jay, Rick and Eric von Czoernig and Michael Froelich

This episode features Jay von Czoernig, Rick von Czoernig, Eric von Czoernig and Michael Froelich of von C Brewing Brewing Company. von C got started as a senior project for Jay while he attended North Eastern University.

This is when he wrote the business plan in 1993.

The von Czoernig family history of brewing goes back to 1860.

The lineage reaches back to Christian Schmidt who founded the largest brewery in Philadelphia.

Finally in 2020 they were ready to put that business plan into action.

Today what is retro is cool.

They brew the OG Pils which is their nod to the Schmidt’s legacy.

This is what helped to make Schmidt’s a household name.

At von C you get to drink brewing history… past , present and future.

We had such an amazing time with the Von C team.

Their story is as captivating as the memorabilia in the brewery.

However, the reason you come is for the incredible beer and lively energy.

Prost!

The Flying Deutschman Food Truck represents German food culture. Stirling comes from a chef and restaurant background in Germany. So he knows what he’s speaking about. 8 Years ago Heidi was created.

Episode 75 – Olde Bedford Brewing Company – Dave and Mary Heller

This episode features Dave Heller and Mary Heller of Olde Bedford Brewing Company.

Mary purchased Dave a Mr. Beer Kit. The first foray into home brewing was a success. To Mary’s surprise, it quickly developed from a hobby into an addiction to home brew. She thought that this would entertain Dave for a couple of months and he would move on. She had no idea that 7 years later that all of it would turn into a business. Olde Bedford Brewing is their “retirement job”. They even grow their own hops on their ranch. Quickly they developed followers of their beer and the brewery began to blossom from there. Passion drives the grain to glass philosophy. “Join the Whiskey Rebellion… drink beer” is their slogan. We had a tremendous time sitting down with Dave and Mary on the podcast. We learned so much about the history of Bedford, beer and the brewery. Take a side trip off the PA Turnpike and go visit them. You’ll be glad that you did.

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
