Happy kickoff to GABF! Last night, we recorded a very special PorchCast with our friends, Brandon & Lisa Boldt, co-founders of Primitive Beer in Longmont, as well as Eric and Lisa Larkin, co-founders of Cohesion Brewing in Denver during our Hard Brew Easy Drink event at Goed Zuur, a spontaneous, wild and sour-focused beer & cheese bar located in downtown Denver.

This special GABF episode of the PorchCast also welcomed a special co-host Russell Hainline of @russellhbeer on Instagram and @thebeertravelguide on TikTok to preview some of the sleeper breweries you should check out during this year’s Great American Beer Festival. Russell has traveled extensively across America discovering some of the best-rising breweries, and was kind enough to doll out some serious gems pouring at this year’s fest while also sharing his fandom of Duke basketball.

This was an absolute can’t-miss episode, as we were able to hear a bit more about Primitive’s focus on bringing modern elements and a thoughtful yet playful approach toward an old-world style in only producing spontaneous beers. Similarly, with Cohesion, they’re also focused around a very traditional style in Czech Lagers but Eric was able to share more about how expansive that style can be and how Cohesion has been able to showcase its many nuances.
