We braved the wicked Riverside July heat earlier this week and ventured out the I-215 to visit Ryan Gil de Montes at Inland Empire Brewing Company.

With the memory of the prior week’s tasting still fresh on our minds’ palletes we wanted to find out more about the history of IE Brew and what it entails to go from your kitchen stove to a full service micro brewery.

Tim is finding that his producer hat is breaking in nicely and he has introduced a few more refinements to the podcast along with a new feature we hope to continue with all of our guests. We also tried a “mobile” mic technique with my iPhone when we were in the brewery. I had read about a BBC correspondent using the new little voice app with success but I think he was using it for shorter segments. We learn, we learn.

Thanks again to Ryan and everyone at Inland Empire Brewing Company for their hospitality and support of i.e. with ralph and tim!

Ryan Gil de Montes of Inland Empire Brewing Company is interviewed by Tim Brown.

This thing here cools down the brew before it goes to the upright things.

This is the upright thing - er -the cooler - um - the STANDING TANK.
