Since 1994 when Authority Zero frontman Jason Devore officially became a rockstar, he's been living up to the moniker. Known for the intensity the punk persona requires Jason is showing the range a career in the arts requires. He's an artist in the truest sense of the word not only on the music side but in actual pieces of art as well. The guy does it all and he's a great dude to top it off.

Join in as Simple Machine Brewing owner/brewer Marshall Norris and I sit down with Jason. We explore the journey that brought this Arizona music legend to this point and he plays us some songs. Enjoy! 

💥Jason is also playing a live show this Saturday, July 2nd but Born N Bred, the Irish Red Ale they made will be out Friday!

In May 2018, I had the privilege of doing a podcast onsite at the Rhiba Farms Spring Fling Farmraiser Dinner. My first guest was the legendary Chris Bianco and he did not disappoint. 

This past Monday, June 13th Bianco was named the 2022 Outstanding Restaurateur by the James Beard Foundation. That's a big deal! And just like he says in this episode Chris gives a lot of the credit to his team.

Enjoy this excerpt from that episode featuring my conversation with Chris. You can listen to the full episode here.

It's no secret that I love Pedal Haus. Brewmaster Doc Osborne is one of the best at his craft in the country. For real. And yes, I said COUNTRY. And I'll stand by that. And on the other hand, I often say my pal Brett Vibber is one of the best chefs in the world. Well, it only makes sense to have an event with both of them. So here we go. Enjoy!

When you meet Brian Blake from B Fresh Gear in Denver you KNOW that this dude lives his brand. A hustler from the start, Brian took a few pivots to get where he is. Today he and his team at B Fresh sport the neon paint splattered shirts and fanny packs like they haven't stopped since '91. And what a better match in Arizona beer than our pals at The Shop Beer Co.

Listen in as I'm joined by B-Fresh Brian (formerly known as B-Rex) and Dave and Dylan from The Shop. We hear the story behind B Fresh AND Pizza Tiger, the West Coast IPA these fly folks all made together!

Music and beer. My perfect match. In fact, Tap That AZ was spawned from a segment of a music podcast I had back in 2016. It only makes sense that it comes full circle and I start to dive back into the music side of things.

A yearly event that continues to grow, Flagstaff Blues & Brews on June 10th and 11th is a must-hit. The backdrop for the stage is the stunning view of Mt.  Elden. The music coming from the stage is from popular national bands and some local gems. The beer flowing is some of the best in Arizona highlighted by Tower Station and Church Music.

Join in as I sit down with Jennifer Grogan, owner of Peak Events, the awesome folks behind this great festival!

May 12, 2022

In this episode, I sit down with Ground Control owners Ian and Stephanie. They have done many collaborations over the years and this one is a great one. A collaboration with Tombstone Brewing, "Mrs. Beer Lady" IPA is now available! Join in as Ian and Stephanie share the story of this beer. They also give us some updates on exciting things they're working on including the goal to have the best Nashville hot chicken in the city. Enjoy!
