For a long time Tasty Mc Dole would try to squeeze a mention of his popular recipe Janets Brown into a discussion, to a point where he would sometimes just say its name with no actual reason.

* ScheduleSlip: The Session, for a period of time. Originally it always aired on Sundays (hence its original name of The Sunday Session), when the show moved to Martinez the scheduling became far less predictable with shows airing on many different days. While there were announcements on social media, many listeners complained about the lack of reliability that they could plan to listen live on X day in advance. When they made the move to The Hop Grenade the schedule became a solid Monday every time.

* DrinkingGame: The drunk of the week award, which usually involved contestants giving their drinking resume, telling them what they act like when drunk or encouraging stupid behavior. This has been dropped as a regular contest, as taking the calls and deciding a winner became a chore to do. It is still occasionally given out if they get a caller who drunkenly entertains them the right way.

* NowBuyTheMerchandise: For some time Justin was pretty much supported by merchandise sales and donations from listeners (with a lot of on air gratitude), with some sponsors making up the gap.

* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: Listen to the first few episodes of The Jamil Show and you'll hear a very reserved, quiet Jamil hosting. This was brought up in Lunch Meet, as Justin tries to imitate Jamil's quiet, softly spoken demeanor. Fast forward to the time they wrap up the BJCP, Jamil is much more extroverted, using sexual innuendo all the time (which is encouraged when the network gets sponsorship from Adam and Eve) and being more natural as he got used to being on the radio.

* TheSmurfettePrinciple: Justin tries hard to make sure there is at least one woman on The Session- usually it's the chat moderator, with the role mostly filled in the early years by Daniela and afterwards by Beevo. Occasionally Suzie Q would join the crew. Listeners have criticised the show as being overly blokey as a result. The other shows are almost always 100% male, though Beevo occasionally makes a contribution to The Sour Hour, as she is working at The Hop Grenade while the show is recorded.

DeadAir: Justin is a stickler for broadcast standards, including going nuts at brewcasters who forget to turn their microphone off when they eat or drink and at one point going on a long rant when they criticized the pictures in a calendar which was being discussed because it was made by a new sponsor.

ExcuseQuestion: Averted by Justin, who insists the listeners do something to earn prizes. Typically it involves playing games tilted towards brewing, such as Beer Jeopardy or Guess the Fake. The only time there was a giveaway that took no thinking was the much-maligned at the time and afterwards "Guess What Number JP Is Thinking".

LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters: The cast of The Session expanded over time to include a stable group of regulars, as well as a much larger group of people who regularly appear in episodes. Add on regular listeners who call and contribute, plus the stable of hosts of the various shows that got added after The Session

ObsessionSong: the songs written by listener Sugar Valley Brewer about chat moderator Beevo. While he has written songs about other brewcasters ("JP Lost His Wiener in the Dildo Mould"), his most popular ones are creepy songs about Beevo. For a lot of the other brewcasters and listeners they are CreepyAwesome, with "Wakka Wakka Wakka On Her Bare Behind" winning the Song of the Year award for 2013.

ShockJock: In the early years people accused the Brewcasters of being this, something Justin strongly denies.

SoundToScreenAdaptation: The Brewing Network briefly expanded to television with its reality TV show Beer Wars, on community TV station KOFY.

The Jamil Show: Brewing With Style (formerly Can You Brew It): The Jamil Show started as a show where Jamil Zainasheff and John Plise give recipes for brewing to style guidelines. When they ran out of styles they changed to Can You Brew It. John left to be replaced by Tasty McDole, and in this iteration they interviewed brewers to get the information required to brew clones of commercial beers. When they ran out of brewers willing to give them the information they needed, they swapped to Brewing With Style. John returned (described in the intro as a "special guest"), and now they discuss styles, what they should taste like and commercial examples. Episodes air fortnightly, though it's frequently recorded live in batches of two.

The Brewing Network is an internet radio station devoted to discussion about home brewing, craft brewing, and the brewing industry. Online since 2005, the network started with just one show, and expanded to its current lineup of seven. All shows broadcast live, followed by archiving in podcasts. It is currently owned by Justin Crossley, though there are many people working to make the station work.

The Session (formerly The Sunday Session): The BN's flagship show, it is relatively long for podcasts (average of 4 hours long). When creating the show, Justin aimed to mix the breakfast radio format with long form interviews with experts and brewers to get the sort of information short interviews wouldn't garner. Episodes air four times a month on Mondays.

The Jamil Show: Brewing With Style (formerly Can You Brew It): the Jamil Show started as a show where Jamil Zainasheff and John Plise give recipes for brewing to style guidelines. When they ran out of styles they changed to Can You Brew It, where they interviewed brewers to get the information required to brew clones of commercial beers. When they ran out of brewers willing to give them the information they needed, they swapped to Brewing With Style, where they discuss styles, what they should taste like and commercial examples. Episodes air fortnightly, though it's frequently recorded live in batches of two.

Brew Strong: Hosted by Jamil Zainasheff and John Palmer, it is focused on technical issues, in a more concentrated information format than The Session. Episodes air fortnightly (interleaved with The Jamil Show), though it's frequently recorded live in batches of two.

Lunch Meet (AKA "That Other Show): The BN's rarely broadcasted and even more rarely archived off topic and politically incorrect show. Airs sometimes at lunch on Fridays.

The Homebrewed Chef: Officially on hiatus (though the last episode was January 2012), chef Sean Paxton discussed cooking with beer as well as beer and food pairings.

Dr Homebrew: Hosted by JP, listeners send in beer and have BJCP certified judges taste and give feedback while discussing the beer with the brewer. Frequently described on air as an "interactive BJCP Score Sheet".

The Sour Hour: Jay Goodwin of The Rare Barrel hosts this show that focuses exclusively on sour brewing (possibly because Justin is an unashamed sour beer lover). Updates monthly on Wednesday nights.
