Brewing Traditional Continental European Styles with Hagen Dost from Dovetail Brewery – Ep. 428
Apr 17, 2025
Show notes
Welcome back, my friend. Let me tell you – Todd and I had a FANTASTIC trip out to Chicago. I’ve never actually been, outside of a layover here and there, so it was great getting to visit a wonderful craft beer city. Specifically, we got to hang out a lot with the crew at Dovetail Brewery. They are not only making incredible beer in the heart of Chicago, they’re also true to style in every regard – from using the right ingredients, old world brewing methods, the proper glassware, and especially those beautiful CMBecker faucets. We had a great chat with one of their brewer-owners, Hagen Dost, that I am confident you’re also going to enjoy. So, with all of that being said – it’s time for another episode of our Homebrew Happy Hour podcast!… THE home brew #podcast where we answer all of your home brewing questions and discuss anything related to craft beer! This week, I’m so happy that Todd and James are both on the show. It was a great time recording and we covered a lot of ground, I think.

Apr 03, 2025
Show notes
I must confess – as much as I love having Todd and James on the podcast, I’ve actually really been enjoying some of these ‘off’ episodes where I get to meet up with pro brewers and learn more about their stories. I’m spoiled to live in an area surrounded by great craft beer and local central Texans know that Middleton Brewing is one of the best in the area! Owner and head brewer, Calvin Kouba, was such a great host to me and I sincerely appreciate his time and the tour he gave me of their campus and of their beer. So, buckle up for the next hour or so because it’s time for another episode of our Homebrew Happy Hour podcast!… THE home brew #podcast where we answer all of your home brewing questions and discuss anything related to craft beer!
