CBC Special #10: KCBC (Zack Kinney & Bobby Rolandi)

Host Richie Tevlin and Co-Host Evan Blum talk with Zack Kinney and Bobby Rolandi of Kings County Brewers Collective, known as KCBC. Co-founded in 2016 by Zack alongside Tony Bellis and Pete Lengyel, KCBC became the first brick-and-mortar production brewery to operate in Bushwick, Brooklyn in over 40 years. Named Best Brewery in NYC by Thrillist and recognized with awards from the New York State Craft Beer Competition, KCBC has built a devoted following through its constantly rotating lineup, bold can art, and commitment to exploring styles from hazy IPAs and fruited sours to deeply traditional lagers from around the world. Bobby Rolandi leads the brewing program as Head Brewer, bringing technical precision and creativity to one of New York City's most celebrated taprooms.   BrewedAt's CBC Special Series, releasing a new episode every day from April 27th through May 2nd, and again from May 5th through May 9th, in celebration of the 2026 Craft Brewers Conference in Philadelphia! https://kcbcbeer.com/ @kcbcbeer _____________________________________________ THANK YOU TO OUR SPONSORS!: The Beer Accountant: https://www.paddymaccpa.com/brewerysolutions Patrick McDonald Email: pmcdonald@paddymaccpa.com 267-566-4077 - Licensed CPA Norris McLaughlin P.A. https://norrismclaughlin.com/ted-zeller Ted Zeller Email: tzeller@norris-law.com (484) 765-2220 - Liquor Attorney _______________________________________ EPISODE NOTES: Mentioned Breweries Flying Dog Brewery - Frederick, MD Brooklyn Brewery - Brooklyn, NY Sixpoint Brewery - Brooklyn, NY Greenpoint Beer & Ale - Brooklyn, NY Other Half Brewing - Brooklyn, NY Finback Brewery - Brooklyn, NY Stone Brewing - San Diego, CA Firestone Walker Brewing - Venice, CA Ballast Point Brewing - San Diego, CA KelSo Beer Co - Brooklyn, NY Russian River Brewing - Santa Rosa, CA Industrial Arts Brewing - Beacon, NY Mentioned People Earl Holloway - KCBC Can Artist &  Garrett Oliver - Legendary American Beer Writer & Brooklyn Brewery Brewmaster Sam Richardson - Founder of Other Half Brewing Johnathon Moxey - Head Brewer of Rockwell Beer Basil & Kevin - Finback Tony Bellis - Co-Founder of KCBC Pete Lengyel - Co-Founder of KCBC Steve Parkes - Owner at the American Brewers Guild Chris Cuzme - Brewer at Fifth Hammer Brewing Co Other Mentions Hopcenter The Squid Comic book Series Bitters & Esters - NY Homebrew Supply Shop What We Drank?
