In the newest Drinking Partners release, Ed and Day welcome RB, a “curator of good times” and founder of FarESH Brand, a Pittsburgh-based concept brand seeking to blend fashion, culture, and creativity. In the early minutes, fashion is the focus, or, more accurately, counterfeit fashion as Ed and Day let loose on trends from the past and the knock-offs they influenced. From there, the trio gets hyper local, as they discuss how the festival scene is reintroducing people to the city of Pittsburgh and the talented individuals who make up the creative scenes. For listeners who look forward to Ed’s singing, the midway point highlights him in a new voice. From there, the beer kicks in and the conversation becomes NSFW, as the Drinking Partners often are. The closing segment refocuses on RB and his thoughts on the vibe he is hoping to promote. For more information on FarESH, visit: www.fareshbrand.com.

As the Drinking Partners enjoy a holiday sampling from Troeg’s, they welcome DJ Nate Da Barber, whose tag sums up his professional passions as an owner of two barbershops and a popular Pittsburgh DJ. An insightful conversation revolves around the importance of barbershops in the Black community, succinctly explained by Ed, “The barber knows it all.” Having been active in Pittsburgh’s hip hop scene for the last 20 years, DJ Nate offers up a reflective view. Midway through, the group talks about Fresh Fest, the country’s first Black beer festival, hosted by the Drinking Partners and featuring Nate Da Barber in the VIP area, an event that significantly changed the vibe around beer culture. In the episode’s concluding minutes, Nate discusses his career in entertainment and the DJ industry in general. A fun listen that gleams with excitement for things past and things future.

The Drinking Partners celebrate their last podcast recording of 2018 by reflecting on their achievements with gratitude and awe before welcoming a very special guest. After years of being on the other side of the mic, the Drinking Partners enthusiastically welcome their producer Buzzy Torek, who continues to work as they record. What follows is a unique listen that offers a glimpse into how Epicast Network got started. The trio discusses how they each discovered craft beer and their journeys from basic beer to, as Ed calls it, “bougie beer.” Up first in their studio sampling is a peanut butter stout from Dancing Gnome, which receives a thorough analysis. Buzzy, who is a photographer for Craft Pittsburgh, brings knowledge and experience to the interview as he shares his thoughts on all things Pittsburgh and beer (and admits which are his favorite Drinking Partners episodes). Day dubs Buzzy, “a third of the cast,” and, after that (and with the beer kicking in), the conversation livens up. An IPA is followed by a double chocolate stout that receives mixed reviews. Tune in until the end to hear Ed sing as he reminisces about his missed musical career. A beer-centric episode that highlights the man behind the success of the Drinking Partners.
