"So this is Swishmas.
And how is this podcast still on?"
Miracles never cease... Regardless, this week is dedicated to Black Beauty, the Official Craft Beer of Darth Vader, the Steph Curry Special -- SWISH.
Noah and Matty attempt to break down the formula that culminate in one of BBB's most well-known beers. Noah discusses the beer landscape that Swish was born from, shares its origin story, and talks about early releases sold in a white can via a tiny taproom; Matt talks about his trial-by-fire first day at BBB, the final Swish release of the season a few years ago.
The guys also get into the importance of every "link in the chain" in Swish's production and the energy required from every part of the crew in striving to continue to make the beer - and just as importantly the experience the beer comes with - better every time, fending off public apathy and inevitable destruction one week at a time. Noah also breaks down the beer's recipe in its current form, the infinite tweaks that got it there, and waxes poetic on the holy hop trinity of Citra, Mosaic, and Simcoe that makes Swish Swish. ....................
