This week, we’re solo once more before a long guest run, and Noah has a lot to ask Matty about what life is like behind two very different sets of BARS.First, Matt gives the grain-to-glass process (subjective and abridged) on how a rap verse finds its words, discovers the beat it was meant to marry, and the two main lines of creative process  in the world of hip-hop.🎧😷🎤😬📝Next — as the title implies, Matty provides an inspiring blend of insight and perspective gleaned from his experience being incarcerated. Few places are portrayed more in culture, but how much do you actually KNOW about life inside the wildly unique microcosm of jail/prison? Also, an impromptu recitation of Jarvis Masters’ “A Recipe for Prison Pruno”.🍷🚽🧃🍜🎓🚔🚨✍🏾Enjoy your freedom by choosing to listen to this episode, available NOW just about everywhere (maybe even jail)..Music: “Mountain Climb” by @JakeHillInternet.#PrisonSystem #SuccessStory #CrimeandPunishment #BlackMarketSoupTrade #Pruno #PrisonWine #FreeStyle #MusicMaking #LettheBeatBuild #LilWayne #BeerPodcast #Mailbag #Yeezys #Homebrewing #GrainGang

Jamaal Lemon

Thanks for the patience, but we’ve got an episode well worth the wait — writer Jamaal Lemon returns to the pod!A lot has happened since we first got to know each other over a year ago, not the least of which is a @BeardFoundation nomination for his three-part @GoodBeerHunting piece, “Tek Cyear uh de Root”. He goes deep on how the idea developed into the artful synthesis of Charleston history, beer, guns, and systemic racism it grew to be. Our conversation was tremendously eye-opening, often difficult, but ultimately lined with hope (always does with Jamaal), and we can thank @SweetGrass3 enough for the honesty, openness, and perspective. Available NOW, wherever primo pods are found!🌾🍻🌞🍤🇬🇾🍅✍🏾🍚🏆🤵🏾‍♂️📚🐅🏈.Music: “Mountain Climb” by @JakeHillInternet.#GullahGeechee #CharlestonSC #Schutzenfest #TekCyearUhDeRoot #RaceandBeer #RootCauses #ForTheFuture #Racism #BeerCulture #JamesBeard #GrainGang #EdmundsOast

Graining In. A weekly podcast where Noah Bissell (mediocre brewer, recovering pessimist) and Matt Robinson (taproom manager, retired rapper) sit down with and without guests to discuss eclectic topics *usually* relevant to the world of beer. Conversations are sometimes technical, often not, but always aim to find the macro threads that keep people motivated and inspired to wake up every morning and pursue their craft. Everyone’s day starts with that first step, so turn the auger on get to Graining In.

Great POD the interviews are great three bay is fun.

Love it

Funny and informative. Matty has funny bits.

Henry Nguyen

With the podcast computer safely returned, it seemed only fitting to share a conversation with the man that ultimately got it back to us -- Henry Nguyen. He and his wife own Monkish, which produces some of the most sought-after beer in the US. But instead of talking about the freedoms of success, Henry talked with Matty and Noah exclusively about experiences and emotions that discussed too infrequently in the brewing industry. Between incessant self-doubt, the weight of indecision, fear of the future, and discussing what striving for perfection should cost a person, this was certainly one of the realest and cathartic conversations the podcast has seen. Henry's perspective and honesty is valuable to anyone who's been on either side of the counter of not only any brewery, but any small business, and we hope you get as much from it as we did..Music: "Mountain Climb" by Jake Hill

Tobias Parkhurst

Recording from the state's capital, the boys break bread (pizza) with Tobias Parkhurst of Cushnoc Brewing Company. To put it lightly, Tobias is an interesting dude. After spending all of his 20s traveling the country as a professional skateboarder, he moved back (considerably less spry) to his hometown of Augusta to take over his family's commercial glass business. Ever since, he's been "selfishly" playing a large entrepreneurial role in Augusta's steady evolution into a town that attracts more than grade school field trips. His perspective is fresher than a Men's Warehouse three-piece, and there's much to be learned from how his brewery reflect both the people behind it and the space it exists in. Apparently, it's all about roots, baby.

Cameron Bosch

Co-owner/business director of Permanent Hangover and packaging extraordinaire Cam Bosch made his way up north for an overnight in Milo! Though he packages beer by day (first at Bissell, now at Oxbow), his side hustle for the last couple years has been helping grow and develop Permanent Hangover alongside its founder, Andy Godish. Perma Hang occupies a small, hard-to-define space of companies and brands that, despite not actually producing beer, have become undeniably relevant through their creative and intelligent commentary on the brewing industry itself. Our conversation touches on the value of self-parody, brand authenticity, an entity known as "Glassy", the merits of sending dog shit through the mail, and a glut of other topics both Noah and Matty found totally interesting. This episode was recorded (with appropriate attention to safety) as quarantine become the norm in Maine, and hopefully it serves as good a break for the madness for you as it did for us.

Fresh off a bottling run of a fruited spruce beer, the guys begin with a back-and-forth about the merits of one of Maine’s few indigenous adjuncts. Then things pivots to the upcoming trip to Los Angeles, with a discussion of their favorite LA movies, the food and beer they’re most excited to enjoy, and their first experience at the Comedy Store. This leads Matty to share a previously-withheld, albeit long-standing resolution: to perform standup! He spends the rest of the episode in extreme discomfort, but in trying to change the subject, drops what just may be the funniest story involving airport security and prescription cough syrup you’ve ever heard.

Baxter Key - "The coolest person on Earth" (-Noah's dad), seafood savant, DJ, typophile, and least importantly, this week's guest! Baxter is the co-founder/owner of High Roller Lobster Company, and we get right into its history as Bissell Brothers was one of the first places High Roller's food ever was served (second only to the lawn of Baxter's childhood home). We also get into how he could have ended up in the breakfast game, what it really means to be a High Roller, what merch and travel have done for the brand, and why it actually is ok to hire your friends. Noah repeatedly pitches a questionable stationery store concept, Matt repeatedly says "slaps", while Baxter repeatedly drops knowledge in a way that only he can... there's a lot more going on behind the impeccably coordinated red jumpsuits and sick sideburns than you might expect. Listen, and in the High Roller spirit, have a good time while you do it.Music: "Mountain Climb" by Jake Hill

Genevieve Richardson

It's finally time to share our conversation with Genevieve Richardson, which was recorded over a month ago on a day marked by broken pipes and an extremely smoky wood stove. In addition to being extremely funny, Gen is the sales manager of Sleek Machine, and our conversation touches on how she manages over 300 accounts, the evolution of what defines "representation" in beer, how Matty would fare in sales, and how seemingly everything in life comes back to the possibilities created from the good ol' genuine human connection. Genevieve's husband (Evan Richardson, #08) and boss (Josh Schlesinger, #02) have both been on the podcast as well, and there's a lot of implications behind what the blatantly superior audio quality of her episode means on a broader scale. Beyond that, there's a lot to be learned from the meticulous concern she applies to her job without ever taking things too seriously. Also: cans, kegs, bottles, and TEMPTATION ISLAND.Music: “Mountain Climb” by Jake Hill

In our first ever hotel room recording, we talk with Matt Miller of Bearded Iris Brewing. Matt's one of three owners of the brewery, an operation that left a huge impression with Noah (and presumably hundreds of other brewers in town) during the 2018 Craft Brewers Conference held in Nashville. The guys talk with him about starting the brewery there, it's evolution since, and also dive into branding, the importance of agility in business, and a  surprising similarity between saison and IPA. We also geek out on flagships, as Bearded Iris Homestyle occupies a very similar roll in the brewery as Substance at Bissell Brothers, despite getting there a very different way. Matt also pulls out an unprecedented response to the three bay with a walk down Nostalgia Avenue that makes this an episode very much worth listening to until the end.Music: "Mountain Climb" by Jake Hill

Greg Norton

This week, Matty and Noah talk beer retail with Greg Norton of Bier Cellar. Greg's store is arguably the most respected bottle shop in Maine, and the perspective and insight he shares makes it very easy to see why. Despite Matty forgetting a big chunk of pertinent equipment, some bootstrapping (and a very patient guest) allowed us to have a conversation we felt genuinely honored to be a part of. Greg reflects with the guys on how quickly beer culture continues to change, the wide range of people constituting the "beer customer", the balance between catering to and guiding them, and the complicated relationship between taprooms and retailers. On top his articulate navigation of these nuanced topics, he cements his place as one of our best guests yet by making lemonade out of on of the most avant-garde Three Bay Sinks we'll hope to ever have.

The guys make a triu--... well, a return to the solo format! They had a lot of rust to work off, but in the process, Noah recaps his trip to Philadelphia and Matt shares his experience of picking a fight with the wrong star and getting burnt/blinded as a result (seriously). On the eve of another barrel-aged Milo beer, Matty also brings up a phenomena he's noticed repeatedly in the taproom: the strong attraction most customers have towards the brewery's wooden vessels. This leads to a conversations about the overwhelming power of gin barrels, the catharsis from destroying a leaky foeder, and a classic three-bay focused around the holy trinity of carpentry, Tim "The Toolman" Taylor, Ron Swanson, and Jesus Christ himself......Instagram: @GrainingInPod.....Music: "Mountain Climb" by Jake Hill

Carol Stoudt

An incomplete version of Graining In humbly got the opportunity to speak with brewing legend, Carol Stoudt. Carol is in the process of retiring, but she spent the last 33 years as brewmaster of Stoudt's Brewing Company in Adamstown, PA. While the conclusion of a brewing career longer than either Noah or Matt has been alive would be completely applaudable in its own right, when she founded her brewery (an extension of her family steakhouse), Carol Stoudt became the first female brewmaster/head brewer/brewer-owner/etc. in the United States since prohibition began. Since then, she made Stoudt's one of greater Philadelphia's most important breweries, continually stayed true to the core brewing principles that made her fall in love with beer in the first place, and  simultaneously inspired untold numbers of women to join the craft brewing community. In addition to her story, she talks with Noah about how much the beer industry has (and will continue to) changed, her love of lagers, and why glitter beer really is one of brewing's greatest disgraces. Please enjoy this conversation - Noah had no right having - with likely the most influential woman to ever touch a mash paddle.Music: "Mountain Climb" by Jake Hill

An incomplete version of Graining In humbly got the opportunity to speak with brewing legend, Carol Stoudt. Carol is in the process of retiring, but she spent the last 33 years as brewmaster of Stoudt's Brewing Company in Adamstown, PA.

GRAINING. IN. IS. BACK. The guys, back from the City of Angels, are recording on a new computer, and waste no time explaining both why that is and why an episode hasn't come out for three weeks...*spoiler alert*, it's because Noah left his laptop and the trifecta of interviews recorded on them at LAX security. The guys discuss how they each dealt with not having the weekly ritual of the podcast in their lives, share some experiences from the the trip itself (one of which involves two types of "Birds" and feces), and do a little teasing on the episodes that soon be retrieved. How sweet it is to be back in the groove of things.Music: "Mountain Climb" by Jake Hill

#34: Going Back to Cali

With the '19 Maine berry crop starting to roll into the brewery, the guys decide it's as good as time as ever to talk fruit. Matt - channeling his inner Thoreau following a recent trip to a blueberry farm - inquires about how sourcing works and how brewer/grower relationships evolve. Across the table, Noah does his best Atticus Finch impression in defending the superiority of whole fruit over aseptic puree, even in the barren tundra of Maine. The struggles of living in a world of distractions are discussed, the pains of fruit processing lamented, and any future sponsorship potential from Oregon Fruit Products destroyed. Get jiggy with it if you're in the pursuit of happiness.

Jeff Heck

Phoning in from Atlanta, co-founder/CEO of Monday Night Brewing Jeff Heck joins the podcast! Jeff and his brewery conducted a survey (discussed in "#46: Past Wrongs Made Tannerite") that's led to him becoming a de facto leader of sorts within the beer industry as it adapts in the wake of COVID-19. We naturally go deep on both the survey and his take on the pandemic's ramifications, as well as his history in private equity (much to Matt's delight). We also talk about Monday Night's bible study roots, compare Jeff and Noah's experiences as start-ups, and dive into how Monday Night manages to stay authentic while being willing to follow trends. Above all, our conversation highlights the glaring differences in state college and Harvard educations...(Why doesn't Jeff have a podcast?)Music: "Mountain Climb" by Jake Hill

Coming at you from his bunker/studio/home, we (virtually) welcome Ryan Peters - better known as Spose, preferably known as The King of Maine - to the studio! Spose is EASILY the most lauded rapper to ever emerge from Wells, Maine, and his connections to Bissell Brothers run deep thanks to his former career as a Barnacle Billy's server, working alongside BBB's first employee, Seth Vigue. We talk about how COVID has effected his life as a musician, how he's created and maintained success through a myriad of unlikely channels, balancing different projects, and why honesty has been the biggest factor in his career. The conversation regularly veers *Off-Road* in the best of ways, touching on pandemic hairstyles, failed App ventures, the true purpose of hip hop, and the Portland Sea Dog's most accomplished alumni. It'd also be criminal to not mention a deeply important discussion on how Mainers truly feel about folks from Massachusetts...Kidding aside, the path this dude has carved for himself is nothing short of remarkable and it's straight up impossible to not get motivated by listening to him talk. So, ride. That. Wave.Music: "Mountain Climb" by Jake Hill

Matt "Noodle Brain" Robinson and Noah "Lee Something Jr." Bissell are left to their own devices this week. Accordingly, the conversation begins with a recounting of a recent experience involving a 600 gallon foeder, ten pounds of explosives, and an ocean of catharsis. After a shameless request for reviews on streaming platforms and feedback on Instagram (@GrainingInPod), the guys roll out a new "segment", where Noah gets Matty's take on world events and their relation to the beer. Surprisingly, this opens up to a good exchange of thoughts on the effects COVID is having on breweries in different states, before Matty inevitably loses steam and fizzles out on pizza unboxing, Mad Men, and gas station beer caves.Music: “Mountain Climb” by Jake Hill

Peter Bissell

Amid a precarious time for securing in-person guests, we decided to keep it in the family this week. We talk with Peter Bissell, co-founder of Bissell Brothers, co-owner of High Roller Lobster Co., and most critical to this conversation, Noah's older brother. Matt gets himself comfortable in the interview chair, and walks through some of the key points in the trajectory of Bissell Brothers history as well as Peter and Noah's relationship, getting the individual perspective of each brother along the way. Through this broad conversation (or therapy session, depending), the guys talk about growing up in the poorest and least populated county in Maine, the genesis of the brewery, the growing pains they faced with themselves and each other while trying to grow their business, and their unified desire to bring the brewery back to where their door-to-door gourd sales operation had once flourished. We also search for the TRUE Baby Genius, discuss "Death Houses", and dissect childhood pranks in this emotional rollercoaster of an episode.Music: "Mountain Climb" by Jake HillArtwork: Samuel Dunning

In a socially distanced world, devoid of live interviews, we finally dipped our toes into the remote recording waters. Those waters were mighty fine, as this week's guest is none other than the Pastry Stout Playboy himself, Alex Kidd.Unless you've been in quarantine for the last decade, you know that Alex is the man behind Don't Drink Beer, a blog that remains unparalleled in its wonderfully unique combination of humor, insight, and perspective. We get into DDB's origin story and wild trajectory, which ultimately gave birth to Alex's podcast, Malt Couture. Like the DDB blog, Malt Couture very much occupies its own category in the beer world, consisting of equal parts beer commentary and improvisational comedy. Alex shares a handful of stories from the improv world, touches on his day job as a lawyer, and had us laughing in a way that nearly required medical attention. It's true -- Unicorns DO exist.

Recorded in the Hometown of America - Plymouth, MA - here is our long-awaited conversation with THE REAL Jake Hill! In addition to owning the beautiful voice that starts and ends the podcast, Jake has an extremely interesting musical resume as well as an increasingly captivating story in the culinary world. We talk about his beginnings in music (SKAcopaths - RIP), the frustratingly mysterious nature of writing folk songs, and his work as part of Jay Kill &amp; The Hustle Standard, a duo who's songs have tens of millions of streams on Spotify. We also get into his life in food, particularly his love of baking bread and its evolution into the quest for making the perfect pizza. On top of all that, Plymouth's Favorite Pizzaman shares stories about encounters with Kanye West, Randy Johnson, and Rick Ross. This is the last pre-COVID episode we recorded, but goddamn is it a good one.

Jacob Buck

The guys get blessed with a rare "in-studio" guest this week, with Jacob Buck making the 2.5 hour trek south to Milo, all the way from Mapleton, ME. Jake runs Maine Malt House with his three brothers and their father on their multi-generational family farm. BBB will buy about 200 tons of grain produced by the Buck family in 2020, so their is no shortage of Noah playing fanboy as Jake explains how their farm - which for decades had grown only potatoes - diversified itself by beginning to produce brewer's malt. He paints a succinctly informative picture of the malting process itself, one that Jake and his brother Josh effectively taught themselves how to do at a very high level, despite not knowing beer was brewed with barley for the majority of his life. He also sheds light on the numerous and often surprising challenges farmers face in chasing consistency, as well as discussing the the pros and cons of working with your family and, importantly, the value in treating some breakfast cereals as a rotating crop instead of a base malt. A great conversation with an awesome person doing awesome things.Music: "Mountain Climb" by Jake Hill

Recorded in Framingham, we talk with Matthew Steinberg, founding brewer/owner of Exhibit 'A'. Matt boasts over two decades in the brewing industry, and geeks out hard with the guys on his history in the New England scene, from his time at Harpoon, Mayflower, and Rapscallion. That opens itself up to some really interesting broader conversation on the nature of both ownership and mentorship, with three very different perspectives and paths into beer sitting at the same table. Noah wasn't going to leave the table without talking about Exhibit 'A's acclaimed Kolsch - Goody Two Shoes - which promptly steers the podcast towards talking (a lot) about the oft-forgotten hero of beer, grain, as well as pros and cons of narcissistic naming tendencies, all things rye, and even tires. Undoubtedly one of the most wide-ranging and enjoyable conversations we've had yet. Music: "Mountain Climb" by Jake Hill
