Graining In. A weekly podcast where Noah Bissell (mediocre brewer, recovering pessimist) and Matt Robinson (taproom manager, retired rapper) sit down with and without guests to discuss eclectic topics *usually* relevant to the world of beer. Conversations are sometimes technical, often not, but always aim to find the macro threads that keep people motivated and inspired to wake up every morning and pursue their craft. Everyone’s day starts with that first step, so turn the auger on get to Graining In.

We’re stoked to be joined (in the gahdayum studio) by co-founder/brewer of Pittsburgh’s COVEN — Caiti Sullivan!
Caiti and her brewery had popped up multiple times in the Graingangosphere, and fate finally got its wish. Our conversation is all over the map, touching on Caiti’s background in art (pocket that for tre bay); quick love for the Steel City; the enigmatic force that awakens the entrepreneurial spirit; hypothetical advice for aspiring business owners l; and not much at all about witches.
Always a treat to get a visiting in-person guest on the pod, and this was no different. Listen to the entire cauldron of our conversation NOW, available wherever podcasts are procured.

Customer Reviews
RIP
We had a good run boys. Sad to see this project die on the vine. See you in your next endeavor.
Insightful and also great interviewers
Enjoyable because it covers a wide range of topics and share some great insights into the industry what other podcasts/talking heads just gloss over. Also there isn’t a lot of pontificating - it makes a great show that I hope returns.
Incredible Show🌾🌾🌾🌾🌾
I’ve been listening for over 2 years now and have enjoyed each episode. This show provides fantastic insight not only into the brewing industry but into a lot of other rad fields as well. I’ve recommended episodes to friends in all walks of life. As a craft beer marketer I find this to be required content for anyone keen on the industry! Hope Noah & Matt keep making episodes for years to come!
