They chat with Tony & Katie from River Rat about brewing the beer and what River Rat's about, and also chat with special guest Chase aka Nutmeg2Palmetto!

Our next adventure finds Steven and Wayne taking a hop, skip and a jump to a familiar place off of the hustle and bustle of Woodruff Road- Habitap Brewing in Greenville SC. The Boys lend a hand to head brewer Candice and her assistant Everette where they turn hops, grain, water and yeast into our next collaboration brew! Now they just need to name it!

After wrapping up their interview with the team at Replay, the fellas sat down again with social media guru Andrew as well as being joined by Charlotte Beerfluencer @RickSpeed for a staple segment a little forgotten lately... What're We Drinking? After they shared the good stuff, they got a bit of an announcement from The Producer.

The fellas put some miles on the tires and get their retro on in Fort Mill to catch up with the Head Brewer Logan and Taproom Manager Ryan of Replay Brewing Company. From Animaniacs to Nintendo and everything in between, find out everything they boys can about this little business making waves in both the South Carolina and Charlotte scene. 

Wayne and Chase have their side hustles in BrewTube land and they've some amazing people along the way. The show welcomes in Brian the Beer Snob, Malory & Chu of ImperfectlyMeCrafts and Dave from Dave's TV to talk creator growth, supporting local through content creation, and of course... BEER! 

The time has finally come for the boys to see all the fruits of the labor. They celebrate their first brewing collaboration, the Not a Pirate Ship Dunkelweizen, with Plankowner Brewing and the brains behind it that are Shawn, Kyle, and Darion. Don't worry theres's more! Lots of barrel-aged releases on this festival day for the Plankowner crew and join us for reaction from influencers @brewpugsc, @tatasandtaps, @adam.drinks.beer and many more from around the South Carolina craft scene. 

We know you've gotten used to these shorter episodes of late but guess what? We just couldn't pack this one so tight. That's because our great friends Jonathan Duke and Josh Dodson of New Groove Artisan Brewery threw one heck of a party for Woodstock 2023 and the boys spoke with 19, that's right NINETEEN, different breweries from all around the country so sit back and enjoy our spoils of war plus a couple extra special guest and a Best in Show wrap-up with fellow beerfluencer @beermegvl. 

The boys went and did a thing and hopefully it was the first of many. That's right, the very FIRST Upstate Beer Boys Brew Day collaboration and they got to do so with old friends Shawn, Kyle, and Darion out of Plankowner Brewing Company.

Join the boys for a recap of one wild night celebrating two years of operation and pouring your favorite choice of swill at the Official Home of the Upstate Beer Boys Podcast, the Clocktower Taproom and Billiards in Simpsonville.
