In this episode of Review, Reroll, Refill, hosts Will Matthews of Beerploma and John Langang, Head Brewer at Nine Mile Brewing Company, broadcast live from the Nine Mile taproom for a lively mix of craft brewing insights and nerd culture. Starting off with their signature Underberg digestif ritual, the duo offers a behind-the-scenes look at brewing Meeple Madness 2.0—an experimental American Pilsner featuring un-named West Coast experimental hops—and takes listeners through the hands-on sensory experience of evaluating fresh “bale cut” Cascade and Chinook hops. The conversation seamlessly shifts into the tabletop world as they cover recent Magic: The Gathering developments, including cracking Reality Fracture booster packs, the resolution of the Secret Lair: Zeta production controversy, and upcoming changes to booster pack contents. Rounding out the episode, Will and John highlight community initiatives like Nine Mile’s “Extra Mile” volunteer program and share details on the upcoming 5th Annual Board Game Rodeo, a local fundraiser benefiting Woodlake Nature Center complete with game demos, silent auctions, and a cEDH tournament.
