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 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
