In this Episode, Michael talks with Beer Me!’s Justin Smith “Godfather of National Beer Day”. Justin shares his vast experience with the Craft Beer Scene and the origins of National Beer Day (April 7).National Beer Day is celebrated in the United States every year on April 7, marking the day that the Cullen–Harrison Act was enacted after having been signed into law by President Franklin D. Roosevelt on March 22, 1933. This led to the Eighteenth Amendment being repealed on December 5, 1933, with ratification of the Twenty-first Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. April 6, the day prior to National Beer Day, is known as New Beer's EveUpon signing the legislation, Roosevelt made his famous remark, "I think this would be a good time for a beer. The law went into effect on April 7 of that year in states that had enacted their own law allowing such sales. The beer could contain up to 3.2% alcohol by weight (or 4.05% by volume) compared to the 0.5% limit of the Volstead Act, because 3.2% was considered too low to produce intoxication.People across the country responded by gathering outside breweries, some beginning the night before. On that first day, 1.5 million barrels of beer were consumed, inspiring the future holiday. Today, April 7 is recognized as National Beer Day and April 6 is known as New Beer's EveThe Cullen-Harrison Act was not the official end of prohibition in the US (that happened on December 5, 1933 when the 21st Amendment was ratified). What the Cullen-Harrison Act did do was redefine an "intoxicating beverage" under the Volstead Act. As such, April 7 is a beer specific holiday and should not be confused with Repeal Day celebrated on December 5.National Beer Day was first created in 2009 by Justin Smith of Richmond, Virginia.[10] After much prodding from his friend, Mike Connolly, Smith started a Facebook page that was noticed by Colorado Beer Examiner, Eli Shayotovich. Smith's promotion of the new holiday via various social media outlets was rewarded when the beer drinking app, "Untappd", created a badge for National Beer Day that rewarded participants that checked a beer into the app on April 7.[11] National Beer Day has since been trending every year on April 7 using the hashtag #NationalBeerDay.[citation needed]National Beer Day was officially recognized by Virginia Governor Terry McAuliffe in 2017National Beer Day was officially recognized on the Congressional Record by Congressman Dave Brat in 2017.In 2018, House Joint Resolution 90 was introduced in Virginia General Assembly to officially recognize National Beer Day in the Commonwealth of Virginia.Subscribe to Craft Beer Storm Podcast iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/craft-beer-storm/id1438117278?mt=2Michael Potorti is the Host of Craft Beer Storm and Founder/Brewer at Beara Brewing Co. in Portsmouth, NHMichael PotortiFounder/BrewerHost of "Craft Beer Storm" Podcastmichael@craftbeerstorm.commichael@bearairishbrew.com*** Come visit our brewery for some delicious local craft brew! ***Beara Brewing Co.2800 Lafayette RoadPortsmouth, NH 03801Tel.

Michael talks with Josh Bouchard about his awesome Maple Syrup from Spring Harvest Maple Farm! Beara uses it for their Maple Wheat Ale and Mighty (Stong) Ale.Spring Harvest Maple Farm is a small, family operated maple syrup producer in Barrington, NH. The farm is operated by Josh and Lisa (husband and wife), and our two daughters, Isabella (official taste tester) Danielle (future taste tester), and Nic (up-and-coming Dad's helper) with significant help from our families to make this all work.I (Josh) went to Coe-Brown Northwood Academy for high school, and first learned about how maple syrup was made in their sugaring program. We tapped about 100 trees and made syrup in the school's sugarhouse. After I graduated from college, I wanted to make our own syrup, so I found some trees, and made a couple gallons of syrup outside on a concrete block arch. I can't say it was the finest syrup we made (a little smokey), but a lot of work went into making this little bit of syrup. Then in 2009, we decided to go "big time", converting a farm outbuilding into a sugarhouse, and we put out 300 taps on tubing to produce 80 gallons of syrup our first year. From there, we've been expanding ever since to meet the growing demand for our exceptional maple syrup and maple products. Now we put out over 1000 taps, and make more than 400 gallons of syrup per year.We are a mixture of old-time sugarmaking and modern technology. We still put out the old-fashioned buckets and collect sap from those, and we also collect sap via a tubing system in the woods that is connected to a vacuum pump and releaser. The vacuum pump helps the trees to produce more sap, especially on the marginal days. Before we run the sap through the our wood-fired evaporator, we filter it and run it through a reverse osmosis machine that removes 75% of the water from the sap. This process dramatically decreases the amount of wood we burn over the season. We then produce syrup on a 30" x 8' wood-fired evaporator which is fired from storm damage wood we collect from the surrounding area. See here for how we make our exceptional syrup from start to finish.In our short time, we've also won many awards for our syrup at local fairs, and in 2013, we got a first place ribbon for the best syrup in the State. A lot of hard work, and care, goes into making our high quality maple syrup.We are proud members of the New Hampshire Maple Producers Association. We participate, and meet the requirements of, the State's voluntary Seal of Quality program. This shows we meet the State's minimum requirements for food safety in the production of maple syrup.

Listen in as Michael talks with Edgar about his experience with different brewers and the amazing community he’s found in the world of craft brewing. Edgar shares his views on the current state of the craft beer industry and trends from more recent innovations (such as milkshake or ice cream brews) to tried and true methods for brewing beer.Edgar Hernandez was born in Mexico City and discovered the craft beer movement happening there about 12 years ago. He finally got involved in the movement 8 years ago while still in Mexico and began to draw the attention of several breweries here in the U.S. As a result, he’s managed to build up a ton of experience with breweries of different sizes. With his mixed background of biotech engineering and master brewing, he has a unique perspective on the world of Craft Brewing as a whole. He is currently the Head Brewer at Bad Lab Beer Co in Somersworth, NH.Subscribe to Craft Beer Storm Podcast iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/craft-beer-storm/id1438117278?mt=2Michael Potorti is the Host of Craft Beer Storm and Founder/Brewer at Beara Brewing Co. in Portsmouth, NHMichael PotortiFounder/BrewerHost of "Craft Beer Storm" PodcastBeara Brewing Co. www.bearairishbrew.com Like us onInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/bearairishbrew/?hl=enFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/BearaIrishBrewingCo Twitter: https://twitter.com/BearaIrishBrew Linked In: https://www.linkedin.com/in/beara-brewing-co-30776075/**LISTEN to our Craft Beer Storm Podcast and share with a friend**Craft Beer Storm Podcast iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/craft-beer-storm/id1438117278?mt=2Craft Beer Storm You Tube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCp3PVuCGmywNWlGFh0N0ukg?view_as=subscriberCraft Beer Storm Podcast Radio Public: https://radiopublic.com/craft-beer-storm-WdbK0LCraft Beer Storm Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/craftbeerstorm/Craft Beer Storm Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/craftbeerstorm/#beer #craftbeer #beerporn #instabeer #beerstagram #beergeek #bier #cerveza #cerveja #beertography #beernerd #birra #beerlover #ipa #craftbeerporn #cheers #beers #beerme #beersnob #brewery #beertime #drinklocal #beergasm #craftbeerlife #craftbeernotcrapbeer #biere #bar #cervejaartesanal #craftbrew #drink
