New Brews debuts

Good Brews Radio is back on the air – well, the Interwebs, anyway.

Adam Boyd originated the hourlong weekly show on KYRS-FM in March 2015, but left the station last month because he was too busy with other responsibilities to keep up that schedule.

Now it has returned as a twice-monthly standalone podcast (two hours, for starters) with a couple of co-hosts, Boyd’s brewing buddies Aaron Fernald and Isaac Joslin.

The first episode is up now featuring an interview with Whistle Punk Brewing’s Matt Hanson about his soon-to-open downtown taproom and this year’s Spokane Craft Beer Week (May 15-21), which Hanson organizes.

Boyd, long active in the local film community, also is an assistant brewer at Iron Goat, a freelance beer writer and new president of the Inland Brewers Unite (IBU) homebrew club.

“I do them for the love of them, but at some point … there’s only so much love I can give,” he told listeners during his final radio broadcast on Easter Sunday.

The new format is not only less time-consuming to produce, it also allows for a more freewheeling approach with plenty of banter between the hosts.

A website will be set up for the podcast, but in the meantime you can follow its progress through Good Brews Radio on Facebook , Twitter and Instagram . You can offer your opinions about what the show should include at feedback@goodbrewsradio.com .

Meanwhile, KYRS is seeking someone to host a new beer show. If you’re interested in the volunteer position, contact programdirector@kyrs.org .
