Welcome to the Barrel Chat Podcast, where hosts Mathew Muncy and Dustin Wood explore the world of craft beer. In this episode, Dustin shares his recent beer adventures in Arkansas, including his newfound love for Social Project Brewing. He'll give us a rundown of the brewery, its unique approach to brewing, and the standout beers he tried while there. As a special treat, he brought back a limited release Imperial Pastry Stout called Savoy Truffle for them to sample and review on air. Matt and Dustin will discuss the beer's aroma, flavor, mouthfeel, and overall impression, as well as how it fits into the ever-growing landscape of pastry stouts.
In addition, the hosts explore the concept of mug clubs and whether they are still relevant in today's craft beer scene. They'll discuss the pros and cons of joining a mug club and share their own experiences with them. Finally, they'll ponder whether a Kickstarter-like community could exist for limited release beers and what that might look like. If you're a fan of pastry stouts, love exploring new breweries, or are curious about the concept of mug clubs, you won't want to miss this episode. So grab a cold one and join Mathew and Dustin on the Barrel Chat Podcast.
