Brew Files – Episode 57 – Old School Triple IPA Mar 06, 2019

Show notes

The Brew is Out There! For some February is all about chocolate, but for the hop obsessed, February is all about the sweet, sweet bitterness of Pliny the Younger. If you don't live in an area that gets the limited shipments of Younger or you just don't want to wait in line, we've got you covered with Craig Shapland's amazing "Old School Triple IPA" that he's refined over the years with new ingredients and techniques. Sit back, it's time to get bitter!

Episode 83 – Love Thy Long Beach Neighbor Jan 02, 2019

Show notes

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.
