Then, later in the show we have a phone-in discussion with Josh Noel, beer writer for the Chicago Tribune and author of the recently released Barrel Aged Stout and Selling Out: Goose Island, Anheuser-Busch, and How Craft Beer Became Big Business.

Episode 119 -- NEIPA Brew Challenge with Turning Point Beer Jul 30, 2018

Show notes

In this episode, we finally have our follow up to the NEIPA brew challenge we started a while back with Turning Point Beer. If you haven't seen the discussion video on our Come and Brew It Facebook page, we had some of our local award winning homebrewers Mike Treadway, Sean Vreeland, and Jeremy Sanders chat with Alex and the guys from Turning Point about how they might "clone" one of their beers and get a feel for the hazy styles in general. Well, tonight we have the resultant beers in studio and to compare them and let the guys from Turning Point weigh in on them. Did our local guys manage to clone their Double Dry Hopped Extra Pulp or did they just come up with a tasty NEIPA?

Episode 112 - Style Hour: The Pilsners Apr 26, 2018

Show notes

In this episode, we go over the 3 versions of one of our favorite styles: The Pilsner. The 2015 BJCP guidelines have reorganized the previous descriptions, but there are generally 3 variations including German, Czech, and American. Yet, the core of each is that easy to drink, crisp, refreshing light lager character, backed up with a nice hoppiness. We try a few and discuss the differences and considerations for brewing them.
