Brew Files – Episode 66 – Middling Beer Jul 10, 2019

Show notes

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 Jun 26, 2019

Show notes

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 Jun 19, 2019

Show notes

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.

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 May 29, 2019

Show notes

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.
