Social Media Addiction, AI & the Changing Craft Beer Festival Scene

The Legendary Brew Crew is back, and this episode goes exactly where you’d expect it to go: craft beer, social media addiction, AI, parenting, beer festivals, celebrity chaos, and a whole lot of unexpected rabbit holes.

The crew kicks off the conversation with social media addiction and kids, including whether platforms are intentionally designed to keep users hooked, how much responsibility falls on parents, and how algorithms can turn one click into an endless doom-scrolling session.

The crew also gets into AI and content moderation, the mental toll of moderating disturbing online content, and how technology continues to change the way we interact with social media.

Then it’s back to the beer world as the guys talk about the changing craft beer festival scene, the growing presence of cocktails and spirits at traditionally beer-focused events, and what that shift could mean for breweries and drinking culture.

And because this is Brewsing Banter, somehow the conversation still finds its way to movies, celebrities, Toy Story, Christmas music, ridiculous hypotheticals, and a hilariously difficult celebrity-guessing game.

It’s beer as the catalyst and culture as the conversation.

Tap in with the Legendary Brew Crew for another round of craft beer, culture, comedy, social commentary, and completely unnecessary debates,
