Dave was on a business trip and was lucky enough to sit down with Matt Logan, the Head Brewer at Big Sky Brewing in Missoula Montana! I really enjoyed this one. I hope you do too! Be on the look-out for some exciting new stuff to drop from Big Sky Early 2022 such as their new DIPA, a new canning format and the return of their concert series! Also- for the record, interviewing people without Marc is rough. I really botched the intro. Thankfully Matt was gracious and let me do another take. In this Episode:  Don't kill spiders in a brewery A very good discussion on Diacetyl (~30 min mark) off flavors and a simple test you can do at home Discussion on O2 uptake and staling compounds (~40 min mark) Dave Confesses his No-Chill heresy to Matt. It goes surprisingly well.   Big Sky's Beers: Moose Drool Whistle Pig Red (Retired) Big Sky IPA Summer Honey Summer Seasonal OKtoberfest Powder Hound Strub Strawberry Rhubarb Kettle Soured Berliner Weiss Ivan the Terrible Russian Imperial Stout Big Sky Seltzers Hot Hooves Moose Drool   JPs Homebrew Supply Wardens Market Summer Sun Homebrew Shop   Bayern Brewing Lost Coast Brewing Radio Brewing
