Episode 112 – Replay – Sticky Hands, Sticky Questions

Denny Was In Hawaii – So we're replaying one of our favorite episodes! All new content next week!
To start the show, we hit the feedback slush pile, including a voicemail feedback about the Walmart lawsuit.
In the pub, it's a little different today as we sit down with Nick Arzner of Block 15 to drink one of Denny's favorite beers – Sticky Hands IPA. We discuss the origins of the beer and the secrets behind the powerful hop character the beer carries (pro tip – new fancy hop powders)
From there – it's Question time and once again y'all provided so many questions- we're splitting it up! Today we cover Malts, Mashing, Hops and Yeast!
Next episode – even more Questions along with your brewing disasters!

Episode 105 – Revisit – You've Got Questions, We've got “Answers”

Denny and Drew are recovering from their road trip! So here's a revisit of our very first Q&A show
It's Episode 10 and it's finally time to see if we're as smart as we say we are. We discuss the listener response to our Session Beer efforts and promise to post a kickass list of session beer recipes. (Link below) We run off to the pub and discuss the recently concluded Pacific Northwest Homebrewers Conference and the lameness of “pink washing” and silly sexism. And then to the lecture hall where “Professors” Denny and Drew sit down and try and see how long they can fake actually knowing anything. For listener ease we've broken the questions up into categories so you can find things more easily. OVer the course of twenty some odd questions we tackle questions about ingredients, process, styles, yeast and everything else. Before we leave, Drew gives a brief shout out to two very impactful passings that recently occurred. One to the man whose decision in the 70's still impacts us to this day. The other, well, that one's more important to Chihuahua owners.

Episode 103 – Over 60 and the Next Pint Project

On this episode we delve a bit into history as Denny talks about the results of our “Beer & Brewing Over 60” survey.

Pollen flies on this episode along with all of our usual beery goodness!

Episode 102 – Hood River Beers

We're not done with Hop & Brew School just yet because as Denny headed home from Yakima, he stopped in the beer rich river city of Hood River. While there he sat down with Brian Perkey of Lallemand to talk about his long history in the brewing world – how he almost didn't get his first brewing job and what he's done across the world of craft beer. And of course, we cover the beer news, feedback, questions and craft malt!
