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!

Episode 100 – Malt of the Century

We've been talking for just shy of 13,000 minutes now and it only took us 100 episode (plus 69 of the Brew Files) to get there! In this episode we visit a new room at Casa Verde to revisit what we've all learned (Maybe the real beer was always the one in our hands). And since the world of beer never stops – we're covering the news and talking with Seth Klann of Mecca Grade Estate Malt about his plans to bring even more craft malt to the world! Oh and a party!

Brew Files – Episode 68 – Hard Times in Seltzer Town

The Brew is Out There!
There are no laws when drinking – hard seltzer? Yes, it's the latest evolution of the malternative/alcopop/notbeerbeer. So, let's say you want to make your own malternative at home – how do you do it? Drew walks you through the reasons for these things and how to make your own hard lemonade, hard seltzer and even better the quick way to make an alternative draft beverage as a homebrewer!

Episode 98 – Bitterly Successful in NYC

One of the greatest joys of HomeBrewCon is getting a chance to talk to interesting people and then get to see them recognized for what their doing. In this episode Drew sits down in conversation with Douglas Amport and John LaPolla – founders of New York City's only homebrew shop – Bitter & Esters. We talk about the challenges and joys of podcasting and running a homebrew shop. A day later, they won as the AHA's Homebrew Shop of the Year!

Brew Files – Episode 66 – Middling Beer

The Brew is Out There!
We've been talking a lot about lower alcohol beers recently – part of a trend – but a real problem for these beers is fewer ingredients means fewer chances to inject flavor. Drew sits down with Phil Jensen and talks about using a by-product of the flour milling industry to boost beer flavor. They may be called “middlings”, but their impact is anything but. Sit back – it's time to taste some beer!

Brew Files – Episode 65 – American Nothingness

The Brew is Out There!
American Light Lager is by far and away, the most popular style of beer in America. No matter how much we gnash our teeth about it, it's the truth. It's also the truth that this little bit of “nothing” can be the hardest technical challenge a brewer can face. Are you up to it?

Episode 95 – One Percent Ales and Other Tales with Mike

Over the last decade, Asheville has become a mecca of breweries, but perhaps none of them have the dedication to history and brewing as a passion as the improbably tiny Zebulon Artisan Ales helmed by long time brewer, former homebrew shop owner and man of odd business hours, Mike Karnowski. Drew sat down with Mike and covered the beer (including a really satisfying 1% Mild on handpump and other treats), the business and the meaning of beer in a world suddenly awash in breweries.

Brew Files – Episode 64 – Tasting IPA

The Brew is Out There!
One problem with us sitting here and giving our brewing advice – you never get to taste our beer! While we can't ship everyone a beer, you can finally hear Denny's feedback about Drew's canned IPAs. We're tasting Drew's 45th Birthday IPA and Cape Point New South African Hazy IPA

Episode 94 – Brewing Isle Style

HomeBrewCon steadily marches closer and on this episode we sit down with Jeremy Duffy of Isle Brewers Guild about their unique way of running a brewery – and what we can expect when we (and hopefully you) party with them on the 26th! But before we get there, we check the beer news, a new book that's just been released, Denny's latest mistake (and our disagreement). Sit back and relax – we're on island time!

Brew Files – Episode 63 – Run Like An Athlete

The Brew is Out There!
In the world of beer, we hold this truth to be self-evident – Non-Alcoholic beer sucks. Does it have to, though? With growing interest in healthier options, there's a movement afoot to make craft inspired non-alcoholic beer. Drew sits down with Bill Shufelt of Athletic Brewing to discuss what's wrong with the NA beer of the past and what made him open a non-alcoholic brewery. And of course, we'll give the beers a taste and see how close they come to the hard stuff.

Brew Files – Episode 62 – Wicked Smooth Milkshake IPA

The Brew is Out There!
One of our favorite traditions is the HomeBrewCon commemorative beer given to attendees. This year's beer is Wicked Smooth, an Apricot Milkshake IPA. Drew sits down with Michelle Clark of Grey Sail and Chris Leonard of Heavy Seas Beer and talks about the decisions they made while collaborating to make this beer that's out of their comfort zone.
