Episode 183
Wednesday, 6 May, 2026
Jason and Craig continue the “Paler Pints” series with a look at the classic Blonde Ale, featuring “Something Cold” from Edmund's Oast of Charleston, SC. From craft beer history and gateway beers to brewpub nostalgia and crisp, easy-drinking flavor profiles, this episode explores how blonde ales helped bring more people into the craft beer world.Craig shares stories from visiting the brewery’s multiple locations while breaking down the style’s history, flavor profile, and role in craft beer culture. Together, Jason and Craig discuss the beer’s crisp drinkability, subtle floral and bready malt notes, and how blonde ales became the perfect introduction for drinkers looking to step beyond traditional macro lagers without diving headfirst into aggressively hoppy beers.Along the way, the conversation wanders into Buffalo brewpub nostalgia, the rise and slowdown of the modern craft beer boom, beer-and-food pairings, and why approachable styles still matter in today’s beer landscape. The episode closes with a tease for the series finale featuring Strangebird and another evolution in the world of pale beers.Visit our website at BuffaloBrewsPodcast.comEmail: buffalobrewsPR@gmail.comFollow us on social media.Instagram: @BuffaloBrewsPodcast Facebook: @BuffaloBrewsPodcastTikTok: @BuffaloBrewsYouTube: @BuffaloBrewsPodcastX/Twitter: @BuffaloBrewsPod
