Beer Bubbles

Some conversations are different when you've known the person sitting across from you for more than 20 years.In this episode, I sit down with my longtime friend David "Dake" Isberg. While many know him as the founder and original vocalist of Opeth, there's so much more to his story than most people realize.Over the years, Dake has evolved through different chapters of life—from music and the early days of the Swedish metal scene to becoming an author, a sommelier, a spoeksman for Craft Beer and a creative force in many different fields. What has always remained the same is his curiosity, passion, and unique perspective on life.This conversation goes far beyond music. We talk about creativity, friendship, books, beers, personal growth, and the experiences that shape us over time. When you've known someone for two decades, the conversation naturally becomes less of an interview and more of an honest exchange between friends.There are stories, reflections, plenty of laughs, and a few moments that only come from sharing a long history together.I'm excited to share this conversation with all of you.Welcome to my conversation with David "Dake" Isberg.

Some beer conversations stay with you long after they've ended. This is one of them.For this episode of Beer Bubbles Podcast, CC sat down with Alex Lippens and Jens Tack from tVerzet at Pressklubben in Stockholm. Together, they explored the story of a brewery that keeps one foot firmly planted in Belgian brewing tradition while happily using the other to kick at convention.Alex and Jens talk about their love of classic Oud Bruin, the beers and brewers that inspired them, and how tVerzet grew from a passion project into one of Belgium's most distinctive breweries. Deeply respectful of brewing heritage but never afraid to challenge expectations, they embody the spirit behind their brewery's name: Verzet — Resistance.The conversation covers where they started, how the brewery has evolved, and what it means to brew in Belgium while refusing to be constrained by what Belgian beer is supposed to be.And, of course, CC asks the ultimate question:The Grim Reaper is here. Today is your last day. You may have one final beer before you go. Any beer, in production or out of production. What will it be?The answers are as revealing as they are memorable.Grab a beer, settle in, and join CC, Alex, and Jens for a conversation about brewing, tradition, rebellion, friendship, and the beers worth remembering until the very end.#BeerBubbles #tVerzet #BelgianBeer #CraftBeer #OudBruin #BeerPodcast #DrinkBetterBeer
