AAB 057: The Decadent Dark Arts of Chocolate Beers Oct 31, 2024

Chocolate is almost universally loved, including by brewers. Often used in stouts or other dark beers, chocolate can add complexity to beer while complimenting the flavors of malt. As making good beer requires good ingredients and skilled brewers, so too does making good chocolate require the best inputs handled by expert artisans. And combining the two into chocolate beer? That’s a master class in understanding manipulating agricultural products into a culinary masterpiece.

AAB 055: Why Hop Water is Making a Big Splash Oct 03, 2024

In the last few years hop water has seen explosive growth. For many, it’s a non-alcoholic beverage that scratches the beer itch. But like all things beer, there’s more to it than meets the eye. There is a lot of thought and technique into how to extract the desirable flavors of hops and without malt providing balance, hop water recipes are as carefully constructed as beer recipes.

"Vanilla” in common use, has become synonymous with “boring” or “plain.” And yet, brewers will tell you that it is an excellent flavor in beer - and not just stouts. Real connoisseurs of vanilla will even tell you it is one of the most complex spices, with a broad array of aromas and flavors coming from different varieties of vanilla grown in different areas around the world. Think you know vanilla? Think again. There’s nothing boring or plain about it.

AAB: 053 The Unfiltered Truth About Kellerbier Sep 05, 2024

Kellerbier traces its history to when beer in Bavaria was stored in underground caves which were natural cellars - or kellers. “Kellerbier” means "cellar beer” and kellerbiers today are a throwback to old lagers. Naturally carbonated and unfiltered, kellerbiers are said to be more flavorful and with a softer mouthfeel. And modern brewers are taking the old idea and applying it to modern lagers, resulting in beer lovers rediscovering a love of lager.

AAB 052: Debunking Beer Myths with Jeff Alworth Aug 22, 2024

Myths are everywhere in beer. We don't know when certain breweries were actually created, when some brewing styles were invented, or we have preconceived notions of how certain things should be. In reality, they are not true at all. Beer writer Jeff Alworth has a phrase for some of these: romantic facts. Some are semi-accurate but the truth is stretched slightly, which hurts no one and helps create legend and lore either around a specific brewery or a brewing process. Alworth lays out a list of these romantic facts for this episode of the All About Beer podcast to dig through in a fun and engaging interview about what is the "truth" of beer and does it really matter?

AAB 050: Oh, So Many Ways to Hop a Beer Jul 25, 2024

In the early days of craft beer, hopping was limited to bittering hops, flavor hops and aroma hops, added early, late and later in the boil. Then dry hopping became very popular, particularly with IPAs. As hops came to dominate the craft beer discussion, brewers began experimenting with all manner of hopping techniques in an effort to extract new, interesting and stable hop flavors and boost the overall hoppiness in their beers. What are all these hopping techniques and what do they do?

AAB 049: Why hasn't Pacific Ale Taken Off? Jul 11, 2024

When co-host Em Sauter was in Australia in 2019, she was exposed to the Pacific ale, a style of beer that was refreshing, sessionable, and something she was surprised was only limited to Australia. Five years later, Em is still surprised that this beer style (which has only grown in popularity in its native country) is still not really well known to people outside of Australia.

She hopes this episode will help educate more people about this excellent beer style. On this episode Em and Don Tse chat with two Australians. First, Briony Liebich, who is an Australian beer educator and sensory professional about the flavors and aromas of this style. Then Caolan Vaughan, Head Brewer at Stone and Wood Brewing Co., who invented the beer style.

AAB: 047: Foraging Brings Local Flavor to Beer Jun 13, 2024

For a time, all beer was made from foraged ingredients. Gruits were made from herbs and spices growing nearby and reflected the land around the home of the brewer. As hops skyrocketed in popularity and as standard, industrial lager took over the world, beer from interesting plants have been all but forgotten. Thankfully, there are breweries and beer lovers re-discovering the joys of beers made from foraged ingredients. Foraged beer offers culinary surprises, reflect terroir and paint a unique liquid portrait of the land from which they came.

AAB 046: The Science Behind a Beer's Dryness May 16, 2024

Attenuation is the consumption of sugar by yeast. More attenuation means less residual sugar which generally means a drier beer … or does it? A lot of factors come into play in how much attenuation a beer will undergo and that is only somewhat related to how dry or sweet that beer will be perceived by the drinker.

On this episode of the All About Beer Podcast, we talk with a Master Cicerone about how attenuation is related (or not) to dryness and we speak with a brewer about how he thinks about attenuation in recipe development.

AAB 045: An American Invention: The French Pilsner May 02, 2024

The French Pilsner is a beer style that some craft lager focused breweries have been making lately, especially throughout America.

But what is a French pilsner? Is it made by French breweries? Does it have traditional roots in France? What do French hops and malt add to this lager? What are its brewing techniques and how are they utilized?

On this episode we talk with two brewers- one from Southern France and one from America about this up-and-coming beer style and how the French pilsner fits into the evolution of lagers.

AAB 044: The 2024 Dual Hemisphere Hop Report Apr 18, 2024

Right now around the world, the hops industry is in two modes: In the Northern Hemisphere, the hop farmers are prepping the poles for twine, making sure the bines that start to grow are the perfect plant to make the arduous climb up, and are preparing the farm for the busy season ahead.

While in the Southern Hemisphere, harvest has been over for weeks, so the hop farmers are composting, cleaning the kilns, and are taking a well deserved break. On this episode we talk to two hop farmers, Eric Desmarais of CLS Farms in Yakima, Washington and Andrew Sutherland, hop farmer at Oast House Farms in Upper Moutere, New Zealand about what they are currently doing around their farms and the differences seasonality makes.

AAB 043: Spouting Off About Czech Pouring Apr 04, 2024

In recent years, you may have noticed a different type of tap in breweries and taprooms. They have a side pull and they can be used to control the amount of foam in a beer. Maybe you’ve even enjoyed a “milko” pour, a beer, usually a Czech-style lager, poured such that it is almost entirely foam. These pours come from the Czech Republic’s long beer history and are finally being appreciated outside their borders. Making good beer doesn’t end when the beer is packaged. Czech beer culture knows that the dispense of the beer enhances the beer, too.

AAB 041: The Subtle Art of Decoction Mashing Mar 07, 2024

Decoction mashing is a traditional method of stepping the water and grains through different temperature stops in brewing by taking a portion of the brew to a separate vessel, bringing it to a boil, then returning it to the main mash. It is laborious. And it is time consuming. But proponents of decoction mashing say it is worth the extra effort.

AAB 040: The Quiet Resilience of Black IPA Feb 22, 2024

Once a darling of the craft beer scene, Black IPAs or Cascadian dark ales, can be difficult to find today.

History shows that Greg Noonan brewed Blackwatch IPA at the Vermont Pub and Brewery in Burlington, VT in the 1990’s and the style would become part of the “IPAs of many colors movement” in the early 2010s. That time also saw interest in making and consuming white IPA and red IPAs. The success of Black IPA was short-lived and it fell to relative obscurity in the 2020’s. While most breweries now are brewing hazy or west coast IPAs, some are giving the black IPA a chance. On this episode, we talk to two breweries still brewing this style and their reasons why, as well as brewing approach, history, and thoughts about this almost forgotten style.

AAB 039: New Research into Biotransformation Feb 08, 2024

Biotransformation are flavor- and aroma-releasing reactions during brewery fermentation. Lately, there has been much discussion of biotransformation in hoppy beers like IPAs where bound thiols are released when yeast interacts with them. So hops provide not only bittering acids and flavorful oils, and yeast provides not only alcohol and esters, but the combination of yeast interacting with hop chemicals (and sometimes malt chemicals) produces new flavors. New research into biotransformation is causing brewers to reexamine how they use hops, how they choose malts and how they ferment.

AAB 038: Brewing with Kernza Jan 25, 2024

Kernza is a new grain that has been bred with regenerative agricultural practices in mind. After decades of development, there is now a movement, supported by Patagonia Provisions, a division of the famous outerwear company, to use this perennial grain in brewing beer. Will brewers like how it performs in the brewhouse? Will consumers like the taste? It is too early to tell, and a lot of infrastructure is needed to make the grain more widely available, but Kernza is probably the biggest development in brewing grains in centuries.

AAB: 037: Ukrainian Golden Ale Jan 11, 2024

The Ukrainian Golden ale is a newish beer style from the Donetsk region of Ukraine, a region you have heard about in the news. Its creator, Dmytro Nekrasov, fled his home to the capital of Kyiv and started brewing the golden ale there where it has become a popular addition to craft brewing. But what is the golden ale and what makes it special to Ukraine? How is beer tied to the location of where it is brewed?

We talk to Ukrainian beer sommelier Lana Svitankova about her mission to spread the style throughout the world and with Cameron Compton, who owns Chicago based Midwest Coast Brewing and who brews Ukrainian Golden ale at his brewery, which raises money for the war effort.

Guests:

Lana Svitankova is a Ukrainian beer author, translator, educator, avid traveller, and foodie, currently based in Zurich, Switzerland. Writing about beer is her way of sharing love and knowledge about the drink in her homeland, and letting the world discover the young Ukrainian beer scene. "Beer is for all" and "All styles are beautiful" are her catch-phrases. Being a Certified BJCP Judge, Certified Cicerone™, and Certified (AF)icionado™, she judges both homebrewing and commercial competitions of all sizes locally and around the world.

Cameron Compton is the founder, owner, and Head Brewer at Midwest Coast Brewing Company. Founded in 2019 in Chicago, Midwest Coast strives to create a great place for people to gather over classic beer styles. Cameron and his wife Suzie, who was born in Ukraine, were introduced to the Ukrainian Golden Ale project through Lana shortly *before* the war started in February 2022. Midwest Coast continues to brew its Ukrainian Golden Ale, Peremoha (meaning "victory"), to help raise money for the Ukrainian war relief effort. To date, the brewery has raised over $13,000 for a variety of organizations aimed at improving the lives of Ukrainians impacted by the war.

AAB 036: Is Pasteurization Better For Beer Flavor? Dec 28, 2023

Pasteurization is a method of stabilizing beer through heat. Although some people think pasteurization can negatively affect the flavor of beer, when used properly, pasteurization stabilizes and preserves flavors and gives brewers flexibility in the brewing process. And with the rise in popularity of non-alcoholic beer, which has less inherent preservative qualities, pasteurization not only keeps flavors stable, but is necessary to keep those beers free from pathogens.

This episode's guest:

Keith Villa, Ph.D., is a trailblazer in the beer and cannabis industries; and brewmaster and co-founder of Colorado-based CERIA Brewing Company, dedicated to brewing only alcohol-free beers. After earning his PhD in brewing from the University of Brussels in Belgium in the early 1990’s, an honor only a handful of brewers have achieved, Keith returned to the states with the idea of crafting beers inspired by Belgian styles, but with a twist. He then began his 32-year career as founder and head brewmaster at Blue Moon Brewing Company, an operating unit of MillerCoors.

Since retiring from Blue Moon, this beer doctor developed a patented brewing method to produce great tasting alcohol-free craft beers; written a book titled Brewing with Cannabis, Using THC and CBD in Beer; and continues to speak worldwide as an expert in both the beer and cannabis industries.

AAB 034: The Buzz on Coffee Beers Nov 30, 2023

Like beer, coffee is one of society’s oldest and most fundamental beverages. Perhaps that is why coffee beers taste so good! And like beer, there was a time where coffee was commoditized. It is both fun and interesting that the rise of craft beer was mirrored by the rise of the premium coffee house.

AAB 033: Proper Ways to Cellar Beer Nov 16, 2023

Drink beer fresh! Or not? Of course, beers like IPAs demand they be drunk fresh, lest you want to drink a shoebox but some Belgian styles, sours as well as high ABV stouts and barleywines can be aged for years, creating new flavors and unlocking their true potential. Our guests, author of Vintage Beers Patrick Dawson, Brickstore Pub owner Neil Callaghan and Mike Foniok of The Establishing Brewing Company talk about do’s and don’ts when it comes to laying down some choice brews to hold for special occasions or anytime.

AAB 032 - Diastaticus and Hop Creep Nov 02, 2023

In recent years, there has been much ado about diastaticus and hop creep. One is driven by certain strains of yeast and the other is driven by hops, but in both cases, unintended fermentation continues after the beer has been packaged. In mild cases, it results in off flavors in beer, but in extreme cases, cans rupture or bottles explode. These are important issues in beer quality that affect not just brewers, but consumers as well.

In this episode of the All About Beer Podcast, we talk with a fermentation expert about diastaticus and a brewer about hop creep. They explain the issues, why consumers should be aware of them and what brewers can do to ensure their beer is both delicious and safe.

AAB 029 - The Science and Sensory of Fresh Hop Beers Sep 21, 2023

Craft beer’s love affair with hoppy beers is lasts year round. So, it’s easy to forget that hops are an agricultural product. Hops have a season. And that season is now. Each September, hops in America reach the peak of perfection and brewers across the land rub their hands together, not to smell the hops, but in anticipation of making fresh hop beers. Nothing showcases the aroma and flavor of hops like a fresh hop beer and since these beers have a short shelf life, now is the time to rush out and drink them all.

AAB 028 - For the Love of Pumpkin Beer Sep 07, 2023

There’s no denying when “spooky season” comes around that pumpkin beers will be available. A popular autumnal seasonal, pumpkin beers are still a dominant force in “seasonality” in beer. Today we talk to two breweries who brew pumpkin beers with an eye to how they’re made, why they are a conversation starter and their lasting impact in the world of craft beer.

Guests

Chad Henderson is a NC native and original team member of NoDa Brewing Company. He has been the head brewer for the Charlotte based brewery for the company's 12 year existence and is also Co-owner. Chad's focus through the NoDa Brewing Company beers and products is to deliver a diverse array of exciting beers that range from traditional to experimental with an emphasis on quality and consistency. The brewery releases new beers every week and has evolved to operate out of a 35,000 sq ft facility (that will soon be expanded to 50,000 sq ft) and a 60 bbl production system and a 5 bbl RnD system. The brewery has won multiple major awards between World Beer Cup, GABF, US Open and many other local and national competitions. Chad prides himself and team on being both a dependable brewery and one that is constantly looking for a new expression through beer while staying involved with the community through various charities and events.

Tyson Arp is Overlord of Brewing for Nebraska Brewing Company (NBC), overseeing operations at their production brewery. His journey into craft beer began as a homebrewer in the early 2000’s and eventually he volunteered his way into an assistant brewer position at NBC in 2007. Upon becoming Head Brewer in 2009, his focus on quality and process documentation quickly put NBC on the map as the most awarded brewery in the state. Success of Tyson’s barrel aged products and expanding markets led NBC to open a packaging brewery in 2014 where Tyson was integral in the design, engineering, and implementation of the new facility. Since then, continued focus on team building and process standardization has allowed Tyson more time to focus on product development and streamlining procedures throughout the brewery operations.

AAB 027: India Pale Ale Through Time Aug 24, 2023

India pale ale is the style that built craft beer. With bold, hoppy flavors, it was distinctive and different and tantalized tastebuds of craft beer drinkers.

IPA is a historic style, but historic doesn’t mean static. Yes, there are many modern interpretations of IPA, but even historic IPA evolved over time, in response to tastes, wars, taxation and many other factors that drive beer makers and beer drinkers.

Guests:

Ron Pattinson
Ron Pattinson is a British beer writer and historian who lives in Amsterdam. He has wasted the last two decades of his twilight years researching and obsessing over many beer-related topics.On his Shut up About Barclay Perkins blog, he writes in excruciating detail about beer history, mostly of British beer styles, with excursions across the Channel into German Austrian, Dutch and Scandinavian beer history. The books he has authored on beer history are almost innumerable. They are mostly significant for their single-word titles, such as "Porter!", "Mild!" and "Bitter!" and their enormous page count. His published works include a book on brewing historic beers called "The Home Brewer's Guide to Vintage Beer" and the definitive work on Scottish beer and brewing, the snappily-titled "Scotland! vol. 2". The few copies of his books to be sold mostly reside in brewers' offices. He is married and the father of two sons in their twenties, neither of whom have yet bothered to move out, despite numerous hints.

Mike Karnowski
Mike Karnowski is the owner/brewer at Zebulon Artisan Ales in Weaverville that he runs with his wife Gabrielle. He is the author of Homebrew: Beyond The Basics, home brewer since 1986, historical beer enthusiast.

AAB 026: Breweries, Trademarks, and the Law Aug 10, 2023

A brewery’s trademark and its subsequent labels are its identity and protecting that involves many steps that involve beverage lawyers, government agencies, keeping tabs on other breweries and so much more. Today we speak to three guests with an eye on trademark protection, homage/parody vs. intellectual property theft and the legal ramifications of what happens when the judicial system has to get involved. This is a fascinating part of the beer world.

Guests:

Brian Kulbacki of Departed Soles Brewing.
Brian is a 2012 Graduate of the American Brewers Guild Brewing School, where he took their Intensive Brewing Science & Engineering course for Breweries in Planning. Prior to that he graduated from Boston College with a double major in Marketing & Finance. He has worked in marketing for the New England Patriots/Revolution and the Lakewood BlueClaws, as well as finance for Major League Baseball and Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines. He has also managed operations for a family business. Brian founded Departed Soles Brewing Company in 2014, which in 2015 opened its doors to become the first brewery in Jersey City, New Jersey since prohibition, and the first brewery on the east coast to craft gluten free beer in dedicated equipment, along with traditional glutenous beers. The brewery has won medals at GABF, the World Beer Cup, and Best of Craft Beer Awards, among others. The brewery is now run by Brian's dog, Bogan.

Bill Covaleski of Victory Brewing Co.
Bill has played a pivotal, creative role in leading the overall growth strategy of Victory Brewing Company. He serves as creative muse and guide for Victory beer brands and culinary collaborations as well as a driving force behind community engagement. Covaleski and Victory co- founder, Ron Barchet, serve as brewmasters, providing strategic guidance in the development of new beer brands.

In February of 2016 Covaleski and Barchet joined Phin and Sara DeMink, founders of Lakewood, NY based Southern Tier Brewing Company, as Artisanal Brewing Ventures, a partnership platform for like-minded brewers to continue to innovate and grow. With the addition of Brooklyn, NY based SixpointBrewing in 2018 and Bold Rock Ciders in 2019. Prior to co-founding Victory, he earned a degree from the prestigious Doemens Institute of MunichGermany, having completed their International Course in Brewing Studies after an invaluable five-year apprenticeship under German trained Dutch brewmaster, Theo deGroen. Before pursuing his craft beer dreams, Bill labored as an art director after earning his B.F.A. from Temple University’s Tyler School of Art.

Brendan Palfreyman
Brendan focuses on intellectual property matters, commercial litigation, and has significant experience efficiently and promptly reviewing corporate contracts. He has represented both plaintiffs and defendants in patent, trademark, copyright, and trade dress infringement actions. He also prosecutes trademark and copyright applications in the United States and globally for a wide range of clients and industries. A major focus of Brendan’s practice is representing and counseling breweries, wineries, and distilleries with regard to everything from corporate formation and licensing to M&A and distribution contracts. He is an award-winning homebrewer and one happy client even named a beer after him. Brendan has been quoted in various publications about legal issues facing the alcoholic beverage industry including the Wall Street Journal, Chicago Tribune, and San Francisco Chronicle. He is a regular guest on industry podcasts such as BrewBound and Good Beer Hunting.

AAB 025: The Fun and Science of Fruit Beers Jul 27, 2023

In the early days of craft beer, fruit was added to beer to offer something to people who didn’t like beer. These beers were typically made with syrups added to a beer and not a lot of thought went into them. Today, breweries are embracing fruit and building beers around them. The fruit is the focal point of the flavor and with increased scientific knowledge of how to work with fruit, brewers are pushing and pulling levers - microbes used to ferment the beer, when they add the fruit and how much and for how long - to bring forward all the right flavor chemicals. Modern fruit beer is bursting with flavor.

Guests

Bret Kollmann Baker is a founder and the COO of Urban Artifact in Cincinnati, Ohio. Urban Artifact is the countries largest fruit beer only brewery, using over 1,000,000 pounds of fruit per year. With degrees in chemical engineering and brewing science, Bret has been able to help build out a brewery dedicated to handling massive amounts of fruit puree. In addition, Bret is the Beer Ambassador for Les Vergers Boiron, helping them reach more professional breweries with their fruit purees. In his free time, writing, hiking, and working on the Brew Skies podcast are his pursuits of passion.

5 years ago, Steven Smith-Hay started Vault City Brewing after experimenting with heavily fruited, mixed fermentation sour beers and spotting a niche with huge potential in an otherwise crowded market. As a keen home brewer, Steven saw the accessibility of Vault City’s signature style as an opportunity to reach avid craft beer fans and non-beer drinkers alike. He has since seen the company grow from just two full-time employees to nearly 30 across Vault City’s brewery and its two bars. Steven’s past life as an IT consultant seems a world away in 2023, which makes for a good story about boring day jobs and exciting hobby-turned-career opportunities that may have otherwise remained a daydream.

AAB 024: Spontaneous Fermentation in Beer Jul 13, 2023

Spontaneous fermentation may be the most unique brewing technique in the world and the beers they produce are just as interesting, with many flavors not seen outside these styles. But “spontaneous” doesn't really tell you anything about what goes into making lambic, gueuze and American made versions from insane boiling hours to months and years waiting to see if the beer is actually any good to sell. Today we talk to two producers: one a classic lambic house from the Senne River Valley and the brewery that defined American sour brewing.

Werner Van Obberghen is one of the owners of Brouwerij 3 Fonteinen.

In 2013, Armand Debelder and Michaël Blancquaert called upon Werner to help shaping the future
of 3 Fonteinen. With his experience in strategy and with masters in finance and business economics,
he is now responsible with Michaël for managing 3 Fonteinen and its team of twenty. Michaël takes
care of the creative & operational side (brewing, blending, bottling, labelling) while Werner manages
the business side (administration, sales, marketing, tasting room).

Michaël and Werner continue the life-long craftmanship of Armand and – inspired by his values and
wishes – took 3 Fonteinen a step further. Longer barrel ageing, a local cereal and hop collective with
farmers, a network of families with Schaarbeekse sour cherries, a direct relation with some of the
most progressive biodynamic wine makers are just a few examples.

Jeffrey Stuffings grew up on the gulf coast of Florida. He studied government at Notre Dame and law at Boston College. While in law school, he discovered homebrewing and craft beer. He and his wife Amber moved to Texas 2007. Shortly thereafter, Jeff began working on starting Jester King with Amber (co-founder) and brother Michael Steffing (co-founder).

Today, Jeffrey focuses on beer making and Jester King’s operations. He and Amber live in the Dripping Springs, Texas area and have two children Laura and George.

AAB 023: Environmental Impacts of Beer w/ Lawson's Finest and Earthly Labs Jun 29, 2023

Brewing can be environmentally intense. It makes use of agricultural products - which themselves can be environmentally intense - water and energy. And it produces waste: spent grain, dirty water and carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas. But many small breweries see themselves as part of their communities and are therefore acutely aware of the impact they are having.

In this episode of the All About Beer Podcast, we take a look at how breweries are reducing their environmental impact. We only have one Earth, so let’s raise a glass to it.

Beer Travelers: San Diego Jun 19, 2023

When you talk about America’s greatest beer cities, several names immediately enter the conversation. We always talk about Portland, Oregon, Asheville, North Carolina, Denver, Colorado, maybe even Chicago. But one name that always makes the list is our home for this episode, San Diego, California. Long an ambassador of great beer with breweries setting the style for the rest of the country and indeed the world, San Diego has a storied brewing history that I’m excited to explore today. I also can’t wait to talk with our two local experts today as it’s been about a decade since I last graced the sunny shores of southern California.

To help us capture the essence of San Diego’s beer scene, we are joined by Jenny Mann and Brandon Hernandez.

Beer writer and marketer Brandon Hernández has been deeply plugged into southern California beer for more than a decade. He has helped direct marketing at some of the area’s best known breweries, including Stone, Alesmith, and Societe. In 2019, the long-time writer decided to focus his efforts on creating a new interactive resource for fans of the area’s beer scene with the founding of San Diego Beer News.

The site is a bit of a throwback to the earlier days of beer blogs and local brewspapers. Instead of doing deep dives into broad, weighty topics of national import, Brandon focuses on providing detailed and tangible information about San Diego breweries and beer bars. SD Beer News offers brewery maps, tap lists, interviews with local brewers and beer players, and lots of local beer news.

A native San Diegan, Brandon is one of the most informed sources you’re going to find about that beer scene.

When you research San Diego beer, Jenny Mann is one of those names that keeps coming up. For more than a decade she has worked for and with some of the top breweries and craft beer bars in the city. She has bartended, led brewery tours, taught draft beer maintenance programs, and helped breweries navigate the confusing world of social media. She is also a professional photographer who has captured many of the city’s breweries through her lens. Jenny is a brewery coach and well-regarded speaker who often presents to local brewery guilds. She and her partner recently departed for the Pacific Northwest but she still considers San Diego home and she has a wealth of knowledge to share.

We're excited to jump into an exploration of the history and present day bounty of the San Diego, California beer scene on this episode of Beer Travelers.

AAB 022: Creating a Fun, Safe, and Educational Beer Festival Jun 15, 2023

Beer festivals are a great way to try new beers, meet brewery representatives and travel to new places and they’ve come a long way from the days of drinking beers in parking lots.

Many beer festivals nowadays are not just about the beer and have seminars, food, culture, music, art and more.

In this episode, we talk to two beer festival planners, Day Bracey, who runs Barrel and Flow in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and Laura Lodge, who ran Big Beers, Belgians and Barleywines in Breckenridge, Colorado. They talk about what goes into making a beer festival a success, some difficulties facing festival planning, and the future of beer festivals.

AAB 021 Wood and Barrel Aging Jun 01, 2023

Beers have been stored in wood for centuries. Historically, it was simply a convenient water-tight vessel. Today, brewers are using them because the wood itself adds character to the beer, whether it be subtle notes of the wood itself, flavors created by microbes living within the porous wood, or flavor fortification from spirits or wine previously held in those barrels. Today, barrels can be considered ingredients themselves and brewers can use them to add depth and character to their beers.

But working with barrels can is time-consuming and unpredictable. We talk with three brewers with substantial barrel programs about how they think about barrel-aged beer.

Beer Travelers: Portland, Maine. The Other Portland. May 22, 2023

Portland, Maine is another of America’s most overlooked beer scenes. Occasionally mistaken for the other beer powerhouse of the same name, the East Coast Portland plays host to a number of quintessential American craft breweries and an easily accessible beer scene that is perfect for a day trip or a longer stay.

And today we have two great local guests to guide us on our journey. Carla Jean Lauter is a freelance beer writer based just outside of Portland. She has written columns and articles for a number of publications and her current gig is with local Beer & Weed Magazine. Carla is smart, funny, and plugged into Portland and the Maine beer scene. She’s opinionated and engaging and when she talks, folks in the know listen. Joining Carla today is Benjamin Moore. A freelance writer and photographer in Maine, Ben is best known as the activebeergeek on Instagram. His photos are striking and he captures the spirit of the beer scene in the state through his lens.

We're excited to jump into an exploration of the history and present day treasures of the Portland, Maine Beer scene on this episode of Beer Travelers.

AAB 020: Pilsners Modern and Traditional May 18, 2023

Pilsners have been enjoyed since their invention in Bohemia, now the Czech Republic, since their release in the fall of 1842. Since then, many iterations have been created and the pilsner has grown into one of the most beloved beer styles in the world. The beer continues to evolve and grow, with 21st century interpretations like the Italian pilsner to nods to the humble beginnings like using pitch lined wood barrels for aging. Pilsner is the Madonna of beer, constantly changing while always being authentically a star.

Guests:

Luc Lafontaine’s brewing career spans 30 years across multiple continents, anchored by a decade-long stint at Dieu du Ciel Brewery in Montreal before venturing on his own to open Ushi Tora Brewery in Tochigi (Toe chee gee), Japan back in 2014. After years of travel and collaboration with some of the industry’s most celebrated brewers, Lafontaine moved back to Toronto, Canada to found Godspeed Brewery in 2017. Today, his “inspiration first” approach to brewing has refocused his attention on Czech brewing tradition, where, in partnership and consultation with the Czech government, he’s looking to break new ground for lager brewing in Canada.

Tim Adams is the founder and owner of Maine-based Oxbow Brewing Co. Founded in 2011, Oxbow specializes in producing farmhouse ales and lagers and has retail locations in Newcastle, Portland and Oxford. Adams is a passionate skier and fly fisherman and a YETI brand ambassador. Tim enjoys work and adventure alongside his wife Birch and dog Koji.

AAB 019: The Intersection of Beer and Geek Culture May 04, 2023

Every May 4, Star Wars fans emerge with full Force from their winter slumber. Star Wars day celebrates not only the legendary Lucas films, but all things nerdy - from comic books to cosplay. Nerd culture and beer culture overlap greatly because of their shared ethos of passion and finding friendship with fellow fanatics.

In this episode, Don Tse and Em Sauter talk with four guests.

Audra Gaiziunas of Brewed For Her Ledger and Jonathan Wakefield of J. Wakefield Brewing are beer industry veterans well known for their Star Wars fandom.

Jeff Cioletti literally wrote the book on how nerd culture and drinks culture overlap, with his book Drink Like a Geek.

And Don and Em, both enormous fans of The Simpsons, end the show with an interview with Bill Oakley, former writer and executive producer of The Simpsons. Oakley wrote many episodes of The Simpsons and wrote the famous “Steamed Hams” segment. Oakley has developed a beer that pairs perfectly with steamed hams.

AAB 017: Cultivating Southern Hemisphere Hops Apr 06, 2023

It is autumn in the southern hemisphere which means it is harvest time for hops south of the equator. This episode of the All About Beer Podcast is all about New Zealand Hops. Don and Em chat with Brent McGlashen of Mac Hops and Ron Beatson of NZ Hops.

Today, New Zealand hops are known for their tropical, fruity flavors, but it wasn’t always that way. The McGlashen family itself has been growing hops for five generations and have watched New Zealand hops evolve from a commodity crop that was profitable based purely on maximum output, to the specialized, premium product it is today, highly sought by craft brewers around the world.

Much of that change is the result of hops breeding, which has improved the agronomics of hops, but also taken advantage of New Zealand’s unique soil and climate. Beatson is such a legendary hop breeder, they named a hop after him - Nectaron, but he is also responsible for breeding such legendary hops as Nelson Sauvin, Motueka and Riwaka. Beatson discusses what makes New Zealand hops unique.

Beer Travelers: Milwaukee, Wisconsin. America's Most Overlooked Beer City? Feb 28, 2023

Wisconsin is one of those places that lives in the imaginations of Americans largely in the form of caricature. Full of cheese curd eating, beer loving, Harley riders, the state rarely gets the respect it deserves.

In reality, Wisconsin is all of those things and so much more. I grew up 90 minutes south of Milwaukee but it might as well have been a totally different country. Chicago is Midwestern in the way that non-alcoholic beer is beer, in name only.

Wisconsin, on the other hand, is pure Midwest. From Friday night fish frys to the homey environs of supper clubs and a relatively laid back sense of community and good spiritedness, Wisconsin is the heart of the Midwest for me.

So today I’m excited that in the latest episode of Beer Travelers we’re making our way to one of the great overlooked gems in the American craft beer scene: Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

To help lead us through this town’s glorious and storied beer scene we have two fantastic local guides. Chris Drosner is a long-time beer writer and editor covering Wisconsin and Milwaukee specifically. He’s written the Beer Baron column for the Wisconsin State Journal, the daily newspaper in the capital city of Madison. And it’s through this column that I first got to know Chris and his take on the Madtown and greater Wisconsin beer scenes. More recently, Chris moved to Milwaukee, where he is now the executive editor of Milwaukee Magazine.

Joining Chris to help us on our tour of Brew City this week is Bobby Tanzillo, the senior editor at OnMilwaukee.com, where he writes about beer, whiskey, history, and architecture. He’s the author of a half dozen history books, including several about beer and its history in Milwaukee. And he’s a great resource for all the beer happenings in the city.

While Chris and Bobby compete for scoops on the latest beer news in Milwaukee, it’s clear they have a deep respect for one another and they are the perfect pair to help us navigate this jewel on Lake Michigan.

AAB 014: Finding Freshness in Beer Feb 23, 2023

There is a lot of talk about freshness when it comes to beer. Some breweries encourage drinkers to keep cans cold and to drink fresh. Otheres go above and beyond to date stamp when a beer was packaged or by when it is best consumed.

What is freshness and why does it matter?

On this episode of the All About Beer podcast hosts Em Sauter and Don Tse talk with two experts in the field who offer perspective from both the brewery and the retail space.

Erika Goedrich is the owner of Craft Beer Cellar in Washington, D.C. and co-founder of Mindful Drinking Fest.

John Kimmich co-founded The Alchemist in 2003 with his wife Jen. As Head Brewer of their company, John oversees all brewing operations, recipe development and quality control.

Beer Travelers: Portland, Oregon. America's Best Lager City? Jan 26, 2023

Oregon is pretty close to my own personal idea of perfection. It has a little bit of everything, from vibrant, engaging cities, to sweeping, picturesque coastlines, and mountain high deserts. While the landscape is fascinating, the people and the culture might surpass it. Tucked into the northwestern corner of this Pacific Northwest gem of a state is a city with an outsized beer reputation. Today we’re exploring Portland, Oregon. Known for its outdoor friendly lifestyle, craft breweries, coffee scene, and the looming presence of nearby Mount Hood, Portland is vibrant, lively, and full of character and characters.

And in this episode, we explore not only the great local beer scene but the cast of characters who have put Portland firmly in the center of any discussion about the world’s greatest beer cities. And to do so, we’re joined today by perhaps the two best sources for the local beer scene.

Jeff Alworth is a long-time beer writer, author of several books, including The Beer Bible, and the co-host of the Beervana Podcast. He has taught courses about beer and the business of beer and has freelanced for a bunch of publications. He is also one of the last beer bloggers standing. Jeff frequently posts his thoughts on beer, culture, and business at his award-winning blog, Beervana. He is a passionate advocate for all things Portland beer and we’re lucky to have him this week to help guide us.

Our second guest is Ezra Johnson-Greenough, who is the founder of The New School, which is a great webmagazine covering beer and cider in Oregon and Washington. New School is the kind of resource that every beer loving region would be lucky to have and as Jeff says, Ezra is the most plugged in source to the beer happenings in Portland you’ll find. A native Portlander, Ezra covers beer industry news, style trends, and does interviews and offers commentary, along with organizing festivals and events.

Stay tuned at the end of the episode to hear my favorite local place to have a beer and the place is a true character itself. No one episode could hope to capture all that Portland has to offer but that’s not our purpose on this show. We’re here to talk about the best of Portland’s beer scene. So let’s get our Portland visit started with special guests Jeff Alworth and Ezra Johnson-Greenough.

AAB 012: Demanding Clean Draft Lines Jan 12, 2023

There’s nothing more important in the beer world that’s also super misunderstood and unappreciated than clean draft lines- a dirty draft line can sully a person’s relationship with a brewery or bar and can also have legal implications as well.

Our Guest: Neil Witte is one of the foremost draft beer experts in the beer business. He’s spent 20 of his 23 years in the business working in draft quality, first for Boulevard Brewing Company in Kansas City and now with his own company, Craft Quality Solutions. He co-authored the Draught Beer Quality Manual (DBQM), widely considered to be the most authoritative draft beer reference guide in the beer business today. He continues the work on this living document to this day as a member of the Brewers Association Draught Quality Subcommittee.

Beer Travelers: Tampa Bay with Sean Nordquist and Mark DeNote (Ep. 5) Dec 19, 2022

The Tampa Bay beer scene is among the country's most exciting. I’ve visited the Tampa - St. Pete region at least once a year for most of my life. It’s where my family vacationed during spring breaks and it’s where my folks retired. So as I grew up and started getting interested in craft beer, I naturally used my trips to Florida to explore the local Tampa Bay beer scene. I’d sneak away to check out the local bars and liquor stores in search of something interesting. And in the early days, it was pretty bleak. I’d be excited to find Yuengling or Michelob Amber Bock in the local Publix or some dusty craft beer bottles in some seedy convenience store. I was excited when I found Ybor City Brewing Company. But progress was slow. Until it wasn’t. Tampa Bay is now one of the country’s liveliest places for beer, representing an eclectic array of producers of everything from classic wheat beers and easy drinking IPAs to monster barrel aged stouts. So I’m excited this week to sit down with two gentlemen who possess an impressive trove of information and insights into the Tampa Bay beer scene.

Sean Norquist is the executive Director of the Florida Brewers Guild, a role he has had since 2017. He is responsible for growing membership, coordinating events (including the excellent annual conference that I attended a few years back, as well as representing breweries and their interests before the state legislature in Tallahassee. Before taking on that role, he was a beer writer and also helped run Tampa Bay Beer Week.

Mark DeNote is a freelance beer writer and communicator who runs Florida Beer News, a site dedicated to the state’s emerging craft breweries, thriving breweries, and the craft beer history of Florida. Mark is also the author of two books about Florida craft beer, The Great Florida Craft Beer Guide and Tampa Bay Beer: A Heady History.

AAB 010: It's Time for Christmas Beers Dec 15, 2022

In November 1975, the Anchor Brewing Co. released what it called, simply, “Our Special Ale.” The beer quickly became known by two other things on the label: a generic Christmas tree smack-dab in the center and the words, “Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.”

Writing in All About Beer, Tom Acitelli notes that Anchor’s seasonal in 1975 was the first from an American brewery since Prohibition, and marked the advent of the modern Christmas beer in the United States. After 1975, Anchor would regularly tweak both its Christmas ale recipe and label.

Now in its 47th year, the beer is once again on shelves and on tap. Dane Volek, the head brewer of Anchor joins Em Sauter and Don Tse to talk about the history, brewery, and marketing of the beer.

Forget the egg nog. Pour a glass and listen in.

AAB 009: Naked Brewing - Celebrating the Kölsch Dec 01, 2022

On this episode of the All About Beer podcast hosts Em Sauter and Don Tse dive into the wonderful world of Kolsch.

Kölsch takes its name from the Cologne (Köln in German) dialect, which is known as Kölsch. The beer is a pale yellow, soft, refreshing ale, sometimes brewed with a touch of wheat malt and usually lightly hopped. It can be quite sweet from the malt or perhaps a bit more bitter from the hops, depending on the brewer. At a glance, a glass of kölsch can easily be mistaken for a standard pilsner, and perhaps that’s done on purpose in these modern times. Much like a pilsner, a typical kölsch is about 5 percent alcohol by volume in strength.

The only beer protected by the European Union, kölsch lays claim to an “appellation controllée.” At the Kölsch Convention in 1986, 24 breweries in Cologne and nearby towns agreed that a beer could only be called a “kölsch” if it met the following criteria:

1) Brewed in Cologne or the immediate area

2) Top fermented

3) Pale in color and clear

4) Filtered

5) Brewed between 11 and 14 degrees Plato (a brewer’s measuring unit)

6) Served in a 20-centiliter stange (a tall, narrow, straight-sided glass)

Beer Travelers: Brooklyn with Courtney Iseman and Chris Maestro (Ep. 4) Nov 21, 2022

In this episode of Beer Travelers, we visit Brooklyn, New York, with its frenetic pace to its quiet neighborhood bars, and all the haze, lager, and sour beers you could ever want.

Brooklyn was once one of the world’s great brewing centers. Home to nearly 50 breweries in 1900, the borough brewed a ton of beer under brands names like Schaefer, Rheingold, and many others lost to history. But that came to an end by the mid-1970s and the borough’s mashtuns went silent for the next 20 years. That was until 1987 when Steve Hindy Tom Potter decided to open up their own brewery in a warehouse district in Williamsburg. Named after the borough it inhabited, Brooklyn Brewery would go on to spread the word of craft beer around the globe and become one of the early pioneers of the resurgent modern American beer scene.

It took a while for brewing to catch on again in Brooklyn but slowly others opened, including Kelso and Sixpoint. And then there was the third wave of craft brewers, with names such as Other Half, Threes, and Finback. Today, Brooklyn's beer scene is top notch and the borough's bars and breweries make for an easy and exciting night out.

After falling in love with it after my first visit, I trek down to Brooklyn a couple times a year including in December for an annual holiday themed pub and brewery crawl. It remains a favorite place to visit and drink and I look forward to exploring it with two great local experts.

Courtney Iseman is a freelance writer who has written engaging pieces for Vinepair, Craft Beer and Brewing, as well as her own newsletter, Hugging the Bar. She's a compelling voice in beer and has written extensively about everything from diversity and inclusion to her favorite local Brooklyn pubs, including about the bar owned by our second guest.

Chris Maestro is a DJ, avid record collector, educator, and also the co-owner with his wife of Bierwax, a beer bar with outposts in both Brooklyn and Queens. The Prospect Heights based bar focuses on great beer and music, played analog style from one of Chris’s thousands of vinyl records that line the back of the bar. He was in the beer business before opening his own shop and is a Brooklyn native.

It’s a big borough and there’s a lot of ground to cover in this episode. So let’s get started with our tour of Brooklyn, New York, with writer Courtney Iseman and publican Chris Maestro.

Among the questions answered:

What the hell is a farmhouse ale? Why is it called that?

Is it always yeast? Is it always Saccharomyces? Other microbes? Bacteria?

Co-pitch vs. serial pitch?

With mixed fermentation, is it harder to control outcomes? Do brewers have to blend?

Listen in and learn all about this wonderfully complex style.

Beer Travelers: Brussels with Eoghan Walsh (Ep. 3) Oct 25, 2022

Brussels is widely acknowledged as one of the world’s greatest beer cities. But according to today’s guest, author, podcaster, and beer writer Eoghan Walsh, it’s a curious distinction for a town that until recently only had a single brewery. On this third episode of the Beer Travelers podcast, we dive deep into the history and current state of beer and brewing in Brussels, Belgium. Eoghan has a point. Beer lovers, especially those here in the US, tend to canonize Belgium and Brussels. We speak adoringly of its cafe culture, the care with which each beer is served. Much of that stems from the unique place that a brewery such as Cantillon holds in the hearts of all beer fans. But in reality, the history of beer in Brussels has been up and down for the better part of a century. Even in more recent decades, the city’s beer and brewing scenes have been in great peril. Assisted in part by that adoration of beer geeks from around the globe, and of course their tourist dollars, Brussels is making a comeback. And today Eoghan Walsh walks us through the city’s vibrant and curious brewing history and updates on the status of things today and what is to come in its future. Eoghan runs Brussels Beer City, a great website you should visit, and he’s the author of a book of the same name as well as the more recently published A History of Brussels Beer in 50 Objects. For more on those endeavors, I recommend listening to the podcast that Eoghan and I recorded together back in January on Beer Edge. But today, we’re talking about Brussels and its beer scene and culture. It’s an incredibly informative conversation and it left me excited to return to Brussels and visit some of the spots Eoghan talks about.

We discuss Cantillon, Brasserie De La Senne, Le Source Brewing, and Mort Subite as well as many others during this podcast. Stay tuned at the end of the episode for one of my personal favorite suggestions for Brussels, another great place for a nightcap or to escape the crowds of the Grand Place and the tourist dens.

In this episode of Beer Travelers, we discover Brussels, from its robust days of brewing to its more humble yet growing modern times, we try to capture all the city has to offer in this episode.

AAB 005 - All About Oktoberfest Sep 22, 2022

For a beer lover this is the most wonderful time of the year. The annual rollout of Oktoberfest beers marks autumn (or mid-summer as can be the case with seasonal creep) and the start of the world's largest party in Munich.

While it's grand to put on the dirndls and lederhosen and hoist liters, the beer itself deserves a closer look.

On this episode of the All About Beer Podcast hosts Em Sauter and Don Tse talk with Megan Parisi of Boston Beer, makers of Samuel Adams Octoberfest. The beer is a hugely popular seasonal for the brewery and is often the gateway for curious drinkers looking for a little international flavor.

Beer Travelers: Denver with Tristan Chan and Jonathan Shikes (Ep. 2) Sep 20, 2022

Denver holds a special place in my heart. I’ve watched as the local beer scene has grown and then exploded, with dozens and dozens of breweries cropping up in parts of town that didn’t even really exist, such as RiNo. Denver has long had a formidable beer scene but today it is one of the country’s best. And on this second episode of the Beer Travelers podcast, we’re going to talk with two local experts, Tristan Chan of PorchDrinking and Jonathan Shikes of the Denver Post. These two are as knowledgeable as they come and as we’ll hear, they are full of advice for planning your visit to the Mile High City.

Stay tuned at the end of the episode for my personal favorite suggestion for Denver. Hint: it’s the perfect place for a nightcap or to end your trip.

In this episode of Beer Travelers, we discuss all that the city has to offer in this episode so let’s start our trip to Denver, Colorado with Tristan Chan and Jonathan Shikes.

AAB 004 - The Taproom Experience Sep 08, 2022

Our hosts are huge fans of brewery taprooms. They are special places where you can get a sense of the ethos of the brewery. It's also a place that you can hope the the beer is going to treated well and you might even meet the brewer or otherwise learn a few things about the beer you’re drinking.

"I love A GOOD taproom and I think there’s a difference between a GOOD one and one that feels cookie cutter," says Em Sauter.

This episode's guests, Chris Lohring & Kinsey Bernhard, are well versed in taproom aesthetics and hospitality and join the show with their expertise.

Brewer to Brewer: Jeffrey Stuffings and Khristopher Johnson (Ep. 3) Sep 01, 2022

On the the third episode of the Brewer to Brewer Podcast Jeffrey Stuffings of Jester King slides into the host seat and welcomes Khristopher Johnson of Green Bench Brewing.

The two start off by talking about the evolution of the brewing scene in southwest Florida over the last decade before taking a trip down memory lane, highlighting beers that shaped their careers.

It usually does not take too long for brewers gathered together to start talking about lagers and this episode is no exception, as Stuffings picks Johnson's brain a bit on Postcard Pils, the process and the customers experience. From there they transition into farmhouse ales.

Work and life balance has emerged as an important topic on this show and Johnson shares his experiences and guide rails on how to be present as both while setting proper boundaries.

And before signing off the duo goes full ESPN and offers their outlook for the upcoming NBA season.

AAB 003 - Understanding Kveik Aug 25, 2022

There’s an episode of The Simpsons, notes co-host Don Tse, where an alien says to pronounce its name correctly, it would have to pull out your tongue.

"I think Kveik is like that," says Tse on saying the yeast strain out loud.

The Norwegian farmhouse yeast seems to be everywhere these days after decades in obscurity from the larger world. Brewers of all sizes have embraced Kveik and all its strains to create ales and lagers of note and to embrace its hearty nature that results in fast fermentation times.

On the third episode of the All About Beer Podcast Tse and co-host Em Sauter welcome two guests who have spent time mattping, examining, and brewing with Kveik.

Lily Schulz is the head brewer at Right Proper Brewing in Washington, D.C. and Richard Priess is the director of Escarpment Labs and together they break down all there is to know and experience about this remarkable yeast.

Beer Travelers: Chicago with Nik and Chalonda White (Ep. 1) Aug 15, 2022

With nearly 10,000 breweries in the US, and countless thousands more around the world, it can feel next to impossible to figure out where to go. That’s where the Beer Travelers podcast comes in. Each episode we’ll take a deep dive into a local beer scene, highlighting its best breweries, taprooms, and local wonders. And I hope we’ll leave listeners feeling as if they’re locals equipped with a plan of where to have their next pint.

We’ve all spent enough time at home on our couches ticking off new beers; it’s time to get out and explore the greater world of beer.

On the first episode of the new Beer Travelers podcast from All About Beer, we start where it all began for our host Andy Crouch, his hometown of Chicago. And Andy has two of the best to help guide our exploration. Nik White and Chalonda White represent two of the freshest voices in craft beer. Chalonda, better known as Afro Beer Chick on social media, is a force of nature and her husband Nik is an old school Chicago beer guy who co-runs Chicago Beer Pass. Together, this dynamic husband and wife team are about as knowledgeable about their local scene as anyone we can think of.

We discuss all the great Chicago breweries, where to get the best lagers, IPAs, and sour beers.

Brewer to Brewer: Tomme Arthur and Marcus Baskerville (Ep. 1) Aug 04, 2022

On the first episode of the Brewer to Brewer podcast Tomme Arthur of The Lost Abbey interviews Marcus Baskerville of Weathered Souls Brewing.

Eventually the conversation turns to Black is Beautiful, the global collaboration that Baskerville and the brewery spearheaded. To date more than 1,200 breweries in 22 countries have brewed and released the beer which aims to “raise awareness for the injustices people of color face daily and raise funds for police brutality reform and legal defenses for those who have been wronged.”

Much has been said and chronicled about the beer and its history but Arthur wanted to go a little deeper and do a fresh check in. Hear their full conversation on the Brewer to Brewer podcast.
