The Drinking Partners welcome Jamie Warcen and Paul Schneider, owner and head brewer for Cinderlands Beer Company in their latest release. Ed promises to become a cinders expert as the men discuss how Cinderlands emerged as both a craft brewery and independent restaurant. As the men taste a strong-smelling guava coconut tart IPA, Paul explains the process behind its tropical conception; the beer leaves Ed and Day thrilled and talkative, as they are overcome by the original taste. (Very talkative as they veer into a Drinking Partners-esque rant about candy.) Midway through, Ed drops an unforgettable pause moment before the conversation returns to beer, specifically the ancient traditions of brewing and a great explanation of the differences in saisons. The interview closes with Jamie and Paul both sharing how they develop their own choices, with some hints at their recipes. With their second location opening soon in the Strip District, Cinderlands is looking to continue to make their impact known in both brewing and dining. For more info, visit www.cinderlands.com.
