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!

This episode features Mike Contreras of 2SP Brewing Company. 2SP was conceived in 2015.

Episode 118 – Invertase Brewing Co. – Stephen, Karen and Steve Zolnay

This episode features Stephen , Karen and Steve Zolnay of Invertase Brewing Company.

When Stephen was 14 he bought his dad a homebrew kit for Father’s Day. Their first collaboration as father and son was a terrible pale ale that they made on the kitchen stove. That beginning experience got them hooked on making beer together. They graduated into making their own recipes, reading the books and talking shop with fellow homebrewers. They even grew their own hops in the backyard. It wasn’t long before the idea of starting their own brewery was conceived. This is a gem of a brewery that makes exceptional beer. It most certainly needs to be on your brewery bucket list. Just don’t ask Stephen what’s coming up next. The beer will tell him when it is ready.

Highlights From our Discussion:

Valley Forge Beer and Cider Festival 2021

It was an amazing scene at The Greater Philadelphia Expo in Oaks on Saturday, December 4th. Over 2,300 beer and cider fans had their choice from over 40 breweries and cideries. There was even a winery too. The theme, of ugly sweaters, brought even more merriment to the party. Of course this made for some great people watching.

The lines moved quickly and there were certainly plenty of choices to please even the most discerning palate. It was great to see some old friends and make some new ones too. We enjoyed tasting an array of stouts, IPA’s, amblers and lagers. There were sweet ciders and dry ones. Fruit filled expressions and some most comparable to a fine wine.

Brewscuits was on hand for the dog lovers in the crowed. Uncle Alex was there from Phygit foods to make sure everyone had their pretzel necklaces. Franky-Deep was there to tantalize the hot sauce aficionados and the Jerky Hut had so many flavors it was not easy to choose. Oh, and the bacon. We can’t forget Bacon on a Stick That’s It. HOLY PORKAPALOOZA! We were glad that we didn’t miss Truly Pure & Natural with their hand crafted raw creamed honey.

The DJ kicked the vibe up a notch. The floor was packed with a cornucopia of laughter and movement doing line dancing and holding onto their glasses as they turned and twirled. Close by the sounds of axes striking the target made for its own melody.

As for us, we had a fantastic time interviewing the breweries, cideries and other vendors. It’s always fun for us to be educated and discover new flavors. Some close by and others from places that we can’t wait to visit.

We are looking forward to the next events produced by Starfish Junction. Keep an eye on their website, social media or sign up for their news letter to stay informed.

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.

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.

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 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
