Episode 314 - Mike Kraai &amp; Travis Lancaster, Drowned Lands Brewery Happy Monday, Thieves! You probably know this already but since the pandemic, Justin has been sending Augie and John beers for the blind tasting. Several of those have come from a new-ish brewery in Warwick, NY, called Drowned Lands Brewery. The beers are usually big hits on the blind panel, so we decided to call up the proprietor and head brewer and have them on the show. We had a great chat with Mike and Travis, covering topics like their approach to brewing with foedres and what goes into their homespun but hip label design. For the blind tasting, we had one hit and one that was maybe not such a hit.....Tune in here or wherever you listen to podcasts, and let us know what you think!***As always, you can email your questions, complaints, whimpers, or whines to us at stealthisbeerpodcast@gmail.com. We read everything we get and we'll try to respond as quickly as we can. If not online, then on air. And THANKS! You can subscribe to STB on iTunes and PLEASE LEAVE US A REVIEW!!! Co-hosts: Augie Carton &amp; John Holl Producer: Justin Kennedy Engineer: Brian Casse Music: "Abstract Concepts - What Up in the Streets" by Black Ant.

Episode 314 - Mike Kraai & Travis Lancaster, Drowned Lands Brewery

There is good news in beer these days. Despite all the harm that COVID-19 is doing, there are businesses that are forging ahead and opening to the public. This week on the show we are talking with Mike Kraai of Drowned Lands Brewery in New York. The brewery has been making beer for a year now, but only opened its tasting room five weeks ago. The space is massive, suited for drinking apart during a pandemic. The 15,000 square-foot space sits on three acres, with a large lawn, ample patio, and even a second floor event space. Kraai isn’t shy about talking about the nearly $3 million he spent on the renovations to the century-old building that was once a reform school and later minimum security prison.  With a view of the Appalachian mountains, in dedicated farm country, he wants the beers to be a reflection of place, and is trying to make the most out of his New York state farm brewery license, all while playing with traditions.For more Drink Beer, Think Beer or to check out Beer Edge: The Newsletter for Beer Professionals, follow us on Twitter @thebeeredge and subscribe to our beer industry focused newsletter.
