513: The Best in Beer 2026 Special Takes You Behind the Picks
The 11th annual Best in Beer episode of the Craft Beer & Brewing Podcast is the show's holiday centerpiece: hosts Jamie Bogner and Joe Stang (joining remotely from Seoul, South Korea), joined by review coordinator Paul Hutchings, walk through the magazine's editor's picks for the Best 20 Beers of 2026, then count down reader-voted favorites across breweries, styles, cities, and bars. The through-line, repeated with conviction: 'Beer has never been as good as it is right now.'

512: Rodger Davis of Faction Thinks All Hops Are Good, But Some Hops Are Better
Host Jamie Bogner sits down on the patio of Faction Brewing on Alameda Island with founder/brewer Rodger Davis for a wide-ranging, frequently profane, occasionally hilarious conversation about pale ale — the style that makes up a quarter of Faction's tap list and has racked up a small trophy case of GABF and World Beer Cup medals. Along the way they bury an old hatchet, nerd out on hops and yeast, and lament the state of barley farming. Highly recommended for brewing nerds; 4.5/5 pints.

Host Jamie Bogner sits down with Brennan Perry of Tenma Beer Project in Oakland to unpack how a tiny seven-barrel brewery produces award-winning lagers and West Coast IPAs, including a triple decocted Polish-style pilsner built on aggressive bitterness. The conversation traces Perry's career through Stone Brewing, Beachwood, and Taps before he and his wife opened their own spot, then dives deep into decoction, water chemistry, first wort hopping, and the philosophy that lagers and IPAs inform each other.

Their success stems from a tight-knit creative partnership, relentless process refinement, and deep relationships with hop suppliers.
