Episode 155 - w/ Harrison McCabe of Salty Bear Brewing
Episode 158
Sunday, 25 January, 2026

Episode 155 of the Taproom Podcast features Harrison McCabe, head brewer at Salty Bear Brewing (and brewer at Beachwood). Mike and Harrison talk through Harrison’s path from homebrewing to pro brewing, the story behind Salty Bear, and the making of their West Coast IPA “Hug Me.” Listeners will hear deep-dive brewing talk—styles like English milds, lagers, ESBs, hop selection and single-hop experiments—plus memorable brew-day stories, collabs, and how Salty Bear connects with the local Costa Mesa community. Along the way they nerd out about video games and Lord of the Rings, share favorite beers and guilty pleasures, and preview upcoming Taproom visits and episodes. Expect friendly conversation, brewing insights, and plenty of local beer love.
