Every year Drew holds a “Brew with a Falcon” event at his brewery. This year there's more brewing hijinks with new toys and new yeasts as well. Sit down with the crew as they recount what happened and what they love about brewing. In addition, we taste a listener's beer to try and find the cause and cure for his beer's unhappiness. All this and more!

You know Murphy's law says whatever can happen, will. White's corollary to Murphy's Law says “Murphy was an Optimist”. (aka Denny's Internet in his lovely country home are was out all last week. He's almost back online!) So we're revisiting one of our favorite pieces of science from last year – Cryo vs. T-90!

There's a whole slew of feedback today before we hit the beer news and run to the brewery to talk a Memorial Day event at Mecca Grade, new Yeast strains, how to actually say Kveik and make things with it and some additional dry hopping data points. And then we sit down with Marshall and talk about what we're going to be trying to teach at the BYO Bootcamp in Asheville in a month!

We've survived the PGPDF and are back and catching back up! We've got a whole slew of feedback, news stories, brew sessions, hop science, micro-resolutions (aka things we think we can do), a listener's brewing experience and… the juicy story of why you can buy Columbus, Tomahawk or Zeus in the hop freezer – sit back for a lesson in farm spying!
Show note – ~34 minutes, Denny says “gypsum, chloride”. He meant “gypsum, calcium chloride”

There are a great many questions in the universe – why are we here? What are we doing? What the hell just happened with my beer?!? We'll tackle that last category, because we're terrible at moral philosophy!
Sit back, it's time for a dive through a bunch of questions!

Happy New Beer! We kick off the new year with a look at how the folks at We Love LB and the Long Beach Homebrewers are using homebrew to build a better neighborhood. First we'll talk to Scott Jones, the executive director of We Love LB about his mission to strengthen his community and how beer helps and then we talk to Neil Ian Horowitz of the Long Beach Homebrewers about how the club got involved and what beer he provided to the festivities. It's an interesting model that we think can be duplicated around the world!
But first we've got to take your feedback, cover the beer news including what the shutdown means for beer and Teri Farendorf's take on the “Inebriation” Industry, some foundational numbers and calculations and our favorite brewing experiences of the past year.

Just in time for Christmas and the new year, Drew sits down with John Holl of Craft Beer & Brewing to talk about his new book – Drink Beer, Think Beer. We talk where the industry is and why John's hope for the future isn't a very popular one.
But first we've got to tkae your feedback, cover the beer news – including a controversial take on IPA's drinkers, and then cover Denny's gluten free brewing antics, Drew's rat attack and a new way to egg.
