Fear Of A Craft Beer Planet is a craft beer podcast for music fans. Using their expertise in beer and music, these three lifelong friends Jay Rose, Rob Forczek, & James “Richard” Rabic bring brewers and beers to every episode, while providing insider knowledge on the exploding craft beer industry. The podcast is a part of the Osiris Media Network which is a national network that partners with JamBase.com. The show works because Richard is a beer novice while Jay Rose and Rob have seen the craft beer business grow up and become what it is today. They approach the show in the same way they would approach improvising on stage as musicians; not much planning and minimal actual “show prep.” It’s a free-wheeling conversation about beer, the business of beer, and the parallels between the beer business and the music business. Beers are consumed and discussed, stories are told, and hopefully lessons are learned. Hopefully....
Our title comes from a Prince song that is so horrible that it's absolutely brilliant. It's tough to find online but it's out there. Phatt is also one of the many nicknames Richard has had over the years, with that spelling (technically he added a "Q" at the end later but that's another tale for another time). Richard has been working around the clock at a radio station during the shutdown and still finds time to get this podcast produced and ready for us to release. Phatty-Q this one's for you.
We discuss all things Prince for the first half, then our good friend Greg Lehman from Forest and Main drops in to demystify the world of single source honey. It's a question that came up on a previous episode. Greg is an avid beekeeper and breaks it all down brilliantly for us. Thanks Greg!
