BierTalk English 38 - Interview with Jamie Bogner, cofounder & editorial director of Craft Beer & Brewing Magazine, USA

In this episode, we travel from Poland to the United States as we
sit down with Jamie Bogner—co-founder and editorial director of
Craft Beer & Brewing Magazine and host of the Craft Beer &
Brewing Podcast. Jamie’s journey into beer journalism is as
fascinating as the industry itself. From his early days in media to
helping shape one of the most influential beer publications in the
U.S., he has witnessed the evolution of craft beer culture
firsthand. We explore the impact of beer media, the rise of Polish
craft brewing, and the latest trends shaping the industry—including
the fine balance between tradition and innovation. But Jamie’s
story isn’t just about beer. Having lived in New York City in 2001,
he experienced 9/11 firsthand—a moment that not only shaped his
life but also reinforced the power of community and resilience in
the face of adversity. That same spirit of togetherness can be
found in the beer world, where brewers and beer lovers rally around
each other in tough times, whether facing economic challenges or
global crises. And of course, no BierTalk episode is complete
without a beer in hand! We sample some exceptional Polish brews,
discuss the influence of beer media, and reflect on the role of
storytelling in keeping beer culture alive.
