Alone in the basement trying to put together a quick show for you doesn’t mean that I have to really be alone. Right? I gave Sonder Brewing Company’s Danny Herold a quick phone call to talk about their latest collaboration, an easy-drinking lager called Giga Coaster that they created with Kings Island. We talk about […]

This week’s episode of Prost features a beer from LA Ale Works. The brewery collaborated with Adv3nture (Zane Lamprey) and created a beer that is simultaneously refreshing and easy-drinking, while full-bodied and fulfilling.

There are few celebrations that can be compared to Bockfest in Cincinnati. It’s a unique beer style, it’s a unique festival and it’s the perfect time of year to get out of the house, and have a couple beers in the sunshine. Where else can you burn a snowman effigy one week, and then dress

When Christian Moerlein changed things up in 2015 by replacing Hudepohl Amber Lager with their new Hudy Pure Lager, it was a smart move. When you look at it on paper, it makes perfect sense.

I have a deep love for the top fermenting lagers that are coming out of a few of our breweries. A subset of styles that was shunned by so many craft beer drinkers for a long time out of the fear of mass-market fizzy yellow water, they’ve made a full comeback at this point. There
