Hurray's Girl Beer won Brewbound's 2024 Pitch Slam competition during the Brewbound Live business conference last month in Marina del Rey, California.    Founder Ray Biebuyck joins the Brewbound Podcast to discuss how Hurray's Girl Beer is working to reclaim the term “Girl Beer,” the brand's post-ironic, satirical and humorous vibe and why it's attempting to create a discourse about women and beer.    Biebuyck explains why she's interested in bringing women into the beer category, while getting her beer to stand out both on shelf and in social media algorithms.     Hear more from Biebuyck in this week's featured interview. Plus, the Brewbound team dives into the latest news, including the split between the Brewers Association and the American Homebrewers Association and hard times at Sapporo-Stone and Monster Brewing.   Also, Another Round or Tabbing Out returns with discussions around “faux-stalgia” lager brands, cannabev advertising and a surprising cameo by Angry Orchard.

The Kernel (https://www.thekernelbrewery.com) founder Evan O'Riordain embodies a few interesting contrasts—he's an Irishman in London committed to shining a light on the city's own dark beer past, and he's a brewer in Britain who caught the craft bug after experiencing hop-forward beers in the United States—but it's this dynamic range that drives and defines Kernel today. History is important, yet no modern techniques or ingredients are off the table, as the beers they make respect and reference the past without dogmatically recreating them. There's no such thing as textual accuracy when ingredients have changed so much over the past 100 years. Every act of recreating an old recipe from original text is an act of interpretation, and what matters most now is connecting that past to where drinkers are today. Over the past decade and a half, O'Riordain has focused particular energy on stout and porter, and we focus on that in this episode. Along the way, he covers: embracing hops as a defining creative angle helping rekindle London's dark beer lineage interpreting historical stout and porter recipes using brown malt as a main signifier of “London flavor” debunking the idea that British beers are less bitter the history of East India porter using whole-leaf hops for texture in dark and pale beers fermenting historical styles with London and California ale yeast strains And more.

Past isn't necessarily prologue for today's lager brewers, but it certainly is at Goldfinger Brewing (https://goldfingerbrewing.com) in Downers Grove, Illinois. A family history of brewing lager and manufacturing equipment for brewers in Poland and Czechia was just the kick that Tom Beckmann needed to pursue his dream of building a small, contemporary, lager-focused brewery. Now, as the brewery undertakes its next expansion, Beckmann is committed to widening the lager discourse, to showcasing the potential of both European and domestic ingredients in lager brewing, and to embracing flavor and character across a range of different lager styles. In this episode, Beckmann discusses: building on his family brewing history in Poland and Czechia designing and constructing a brewhouse for lager brewing step-mashing and decoction strategies for various pale lagers using sterile air rather than pure oxygen to reduce yeast stress cereal cooking vs. gelatinized adjuncts for certain lagers blending domestic and imported pils malt for the best flavor, performance, and price the tactile experience of different malts selecting Tettnanger hops for pils and Hallertauer Mittlefrüh for helles the fundamentals of Polish pils the American Zoigl project in conjunction with Live Oak, Urban Chestnut, and others And more.

Five years into cold IPA, the arguments still aren't settled, but one thing is certain—strategic brewers have embraced the style for the unique counterpoint it can provide to more ester-driven IPAs, and the focus on light body has struck a chord with beer drinkers who increasingly want strong hop notes in ever-paler beers. We thought it was time to revisit the subject with three brewers who are no stranger to the podcast, and who each have contributed to the evolution of the style in their own way. Sam Tierney of the Firestone Walker (https://www.firestonebeer.com) Propagator in Venice, California has helped develop some pioneering cold IPAs for the California brewery, like core brand Hopnosis. Jude La Rose of Chicago's Hop Butcher (http://www.hopbutcher.com) brews plenty of hazy IPAs, but continues to explore what hops can also do within the context of clear and light-bodied cold IPA. And Kevin Davey of McMinnville, Oregon's Heater Allen (https://heaterallen.com) and Gold Dot created the cold IPA style while at Wayfinder, but today is just starting to brew them again after focusing on lager for most of the past year. In this episode, the three brewers look at where IPA has come since those earliest days and what it looks like now, with topics that include: creating the counter-trend to hazy IPA by pushing bitterness alongside low finishing gravity finding cleaner, more “crystalline” hop expression by fermenting with lager yeast achieving additional package stability in cold IPA through lower FAN varying dry hopping temperatures and techniques managing sulfur production in cold IPA fermentations blending modern, classic, and Southern hemisphere hops in cold IPA pushing the lightest of color through ultra-pale malts and adjuncts controlling oxygenation to avoid overstimulating the lager yeast why they continue to focus on the style now And more.

Chicago's Dovetail (https://dovetailbrewery.com) has earned a reputation for its refined yet flavorful lagers, but the team's dogged approach to traditional methods is less about religion and more about expression—these techniques and processes allow them to imbue their beers with attributes they want while minimizing those they want to avoid or keep in the background. Each beer they make is like a musical score—a recipe designed to hit the right notes with the orchestra of instruments they've assembled. Whether that's multiple decoctions, dropping temperatures in the coolship before adding whole-cone hops to a hop-forward lager, or how often they skim the open fermentors, they've considered the cumulative impact of each of the intermediate notes. In this episode, cofounder Hagen Dost, production manager Brittany Gedwill, and sales director Dan Modica outline their reverent and rigorous approach to making helles, pilsner, and Kölsch-style ale. Along the way, they also touch on: creating slushies with aged spontaneous beer defining parameters around “traditional methods” for lager brewing the benefits of direct-fire decoction coolshipping lagers with whole-cone hops for “harmony and cohesion” the varying impacts of step mashing, single decoction, and triple decoction with thick and thin mashes the necessity of sulfur and malt character in helles walking the fine line in timing of Kölsch fermentation brewing rauchbier with 95 percent smoked malt And more.

Jacob Sembrano loves ingredients, and his background as a chef instilled in him a deep love of connecting ingredients and their stories with the dishes he presented to customers. Now, at the helm of the brewhouse at Chicago's Cruz Blanca (https://cruzblanca.com), he's forged a similar identity for his beers—connecting through ingredients with stories, and making beers with unusual methods. Their customers may not realize the technical prowess it takes to brew a 100 percent malted-corn grisette with French saison yeast, Brettanomyces, and a Lactobacillus strain cultured from the corn itself ... but they don't have to—Cruz Blanca's reverence for corn as an ingredient is apparent and welcome. In this episode, Sembrano discusses how they brew a range of beers. Along the way, he covers: making your own luck in the food and brewing worlds applying a minimal-intervention yet highly technical approach to making a 100 percent corn grisette pushing fermentation temperatures to reduce esters brewing a red corn lager with 70 percent corn malt using significant amounts of black and heavily roasted malts in barrel-aged stouts building body without excessive sweetness working with partner breweries to grow the brand matching brewing profiles between locations across states And more. “I want my stout to fight me back a bit,” Sembrano says. “I want to feel it when I drink it.” This episode is brought to you by: G&D Chillers (https://gdchillers.com): For years G&D Chillers has chilled the beers you love, partnering with 3,000+ breweries across the country along the way.

This week I visited with Jeff and Shari Bailey at Auburn Acres Hop Farm in Auburn, Ohio. They started growing hops in a small section of their property for their home brews early on, and after 8 years they have grown it to 1 acre featuring hop varieties such as Triple Pearle, Vista, Chinook, and Triumph. During our sit down we talked about everything that is involved in running a hop farm including the prep work in the spring to post harvest. We also focused on their newly opened event space which is two barns joined together that date all the way back to the late 1800's. During the show we also got to sample some of the beer from local breweries that are using their hops. Beer Selection: ·       LOL (Akronym) – Lager 5.4% ·       Auburn Beaver Tail Ale ( Bummin Beaver Brewing) – Pale Ale 6.1% ·       Fire Cat (Crooked Pecker Brewing) IPA – 7.3% ·       Irish Stout (8th Day Brewing) Dry Irish Stout – 7.0%   You can find Auburn Acres Hop Farm on the web at https://auburnacres.net/ and on IG @auburnacresohio and FB @auburnacres.     Check out the BOS Recommends section of the website for my latest product recommendations.

In this episode Bob and I get ready for Oktoberfest season by covering Festbier. Oktoberfestbier or Festbier is a German-style of low fermentation beer that is very similar to lagers in its blonde color but also in the fact that it is fermented at a cooler temperature than ales. We could also define it as a German blonde lager relatively soft and limpid in the mouth.   Examples of this style: 1.     Fat Heads Oktoberfest 2.     Wolf's Ridge - Oktoberfest 3.     Great Lakes Brewing Company – Oktoberfest   Beer Representation: Festbier - Columbus Brewing 5.3% ABV N/A IBUs Beer Description: Oktoberfest style lager Let's first talk about the characteristics of this style of beer: ABV: 5.8-6.3% IBUs: 18-25 Color: 4-6 Serving Temp: 45-50 Serving Pressure: 10-12 PSI Support the show by doing your Amazon shopping through our affiliate link.

In this episode Bob and I look at the Helles Bock. Also called “heller bock” (meaning “pale bock”), the German-style Maibock is paler in color and more hop-centric than traditional bock beers. A lightly toasted and/or bready malt character is often evident.   Examples of this style: 1.     Ayinger – Maibock 2.     Rogue – Dead Guy Ale 3.     Magic City Brewing Company – But I thought everything was okay.     ABV: 6.3-7.4% IBUs: 23-35 Color: 6-9 Serving Temp: 38-45 Serving Pressure: 10-14 PSI   Beer Representation: Maibark 6.5% ABV 19 IBUs Beer Description: Golden, easy drinking, traditional example of Maibock. All German grains, yeast and hops.   Support the show by doing your Amazon shopping through our affiliate link. Just click the link here or on my website and do your shopping as you would normally.

This week I was in Newark, Ohio and I sat down with Heather and Josh Lange who own Dankhouse Brewing. Dankhouse has always been a favorite of mine as they specialize in Hazy IPAs and Sours. While sours aren't my jam anymore I do quite like theirs. During the show we talked about how Dankhouse was born from a homebrewing dream in a garage, and how Josh developed the business plan in his work van. The original plan was to own start craft beer bottle shop, but once a large chain grocery store put the kibosh to those plans the brewery quickly took flight. In the end we should all be glad that the bottle shop idea failed, and the brewery idea prevailed. Beer Selection: ·       Super Fantastic – American IPA 7% ·       Hop Files 2 – 8.5% ·       Garbage Ale Suds – Smoothie Sour 5.6% ·       Tweek-N-Gnomes – Imperial Stout 8%   You can find Dankhouse Brewing Company on the web at https://dankhousebrewing.com/home and you can also see them on FB and IG @dankhousebrews.

There is plenty of food options, a massive patio, and yes dogs are most certainly allowed on the patio.

In this episode Bob and I take on an interesting category. We discsuss the American Brown Ale, which in theory looks like a version of the English brown, but jacked up on hops (allegedly). American brown ale with roasted malt, caramel-like and chocolate-like characters should be of medium intensity in both flavor and aroma for the American brown ale. American-style brown ales have evident low to medium hop flavor and aroma and medium to high hop bitterness. The history of this style dates back to U.S. homebrewers who were inspired by English-style brown ales and porters. It sits in flavor between those British styles and is more bitter than both.   Examples of this style: 1.     HiHo – Touchdown Brown 2.     Treehouse – Bear 3.     Wrecking Crew Brew Works – Shotgun Banister   ABV: 4.3-6.2% IBUs: 18-35 Color: 18-35 Serving Temp: 45-50F Serving Pressure: 5-8 PSI   Beer Representation: Jackie O's - Chomolungma 6.5% ABV 33 IBUs Beer Description: This brown ale was brewed to commemorate the 2007 Lungevity Everest Expedition. The people of Tibet call Mt. Everest “Chomolungma,” and this exceptional ale carries on the spirit of the climb. Seven Malts, three hops, and 100 pounds of local wild flower honey give this ale an exceptional character. Baked muffins, dark fruit, bittersweet chocolate, rich honey and earthy subtle hops caress the palate.   Support the show by doing your Amazon shopping through our affiliate link.

In this episode Bob and I continue our trek down the IPA road as we explore the English IPA. English IPA - Strong, bitter and completely misunderstood, the English India pale ale (or English IPA) bridges the gap between past and present. No other style represents modern craft brewing excitement quite like the IPA, and while this English beer differs widely from the American version it inspires, this strong member of the English pale ale family has plenty of its own to offer — including all of the history behind this variety.   Beer Representation: Great Lakes Brewing Company – Commodore Perry 7.7% ABV 70 IBUs Beer Description: What's this? A British-style IPA named after the man who defeated His Majesty's Royal Navy in the War of 1812? Consider this a bold, hoppy (and mildly ironic) plunder of war. Dry and well-hopped, with an arsenal of caramel malt flavors befitting the “Hero of Lake Erie.”   ABV: 5-7.5% IBUs: 40-60 Color: 6-14 Serving Temp: 45-55F Serving Pressure: 7-13 PSI   Support the show by doing your Amazon shopping through our affiliate link.

In this episode Bob and I continue to drink hoppy beers. This week we throttle the IBUs back a bit and take on the American Pale. Like many others that have become known as classic American beers, the American pale ale can trace its roots to beer styles from abroad. The American pale ale beer was inspired by the English pale ale, replacing its English counterpart's earthy, herbal hops with generous additions of boldly citrus and pine-like American varieties. As one of the most popular American beer styles, pale ale beer is not hard to track down, but the various takes on this iconic style by just as many American craft brewers makes it impossible to jam everything there is to know about American pale ale beer on one page, but we'll do our best.   ABV: 4.5-6.2% IBUs: 30-50 Color: 5-10 Serving Temp: 45-50F Serving Pressure: 7-13 PSI   Beer Representation: Sierra Nevada – Pale Ale 5.6% ABV 38 IBUs Beer Description: Our most popular beer, Sierra Nevada Pale Ale is a delightful interpretation of a classic style. It has a deep amber color and an exceptionally full-bodied, complex character. Generous quantities of premium Cascade hops give the Pale Ale its fragrant bouquet and spicy flavor.   Second representation: The Dancing Gnome – Lustra 5.8% ABV 45 IBU Beer Description: An ode to the unity of malted barley, hops, yeast, water, and the brewer who prudently blends them. Intense tropical and citrus fruit aromas and a clean fruity bitterness work in harmony with the lightly toasted wheat bread flavors derived from the malt.   Support the show by doing your Amazon shopping through our affiliate link.

In this episode Bob and I continue our trek down the IPA road and we explore the Double IPA. American craft beer lovers are huge fans of the IPA. The quest for more of the India pale ale flavor has led them to the imperial India pale ale, a stronger version of the American IPA, which boasts even more hoppy flavor, aroma and bitterness. Imperial India pale ale is darker in color than the American IPA, substantially more bitter, and high in alcohol by volume. This all-American take on the IPA leaves craft beer fans with plenty of new creations to try.     Examples of this style: 1.     Russian River – Pliny the Elder 2.     Fatheads – Hop Ju Ju 3.     Great Lakes Brewing Company – Chill Wave   ABV: 7.5-10% IBUs: 60-100 Color: 6-14 Serving Temp: 45-55F Serving Pressure: 7-13 PSI   Beer Representation: Columbus Brewing - Bodhi 8.3% ABV  80 IBUs   Beer Description: Award-winning double IPA featuring Citra® hops with a pale golden color.   Support the show by doing your Amazon shopping through our affiliate link.

This week I was down in Delaware, Ohio hanging with Frank Barickman who is the owner and head brewer at Restoration Brew Works. Frank and I discussed the brewery's opening in 2015, and how they survived through 2020. We also talked a lot about how breweries need to evolve in 2023 to remain successful. During the interview we drank some very tasty beers including a Pilsner featuring a new aged lager yeast that helps it finish out fast like an Ale while still maintaining a traditional lager taste. We also drank an award-winning Irish Red that they often use as a gateway beer for non-craft beer drinkers to convert them. At the end we drank a delicious Russian Imperial Stout from 2021. Beer Selection: ·       Sulky – German Pilsner 5.4 % ·       Stewart Red – Irish Red 5.9% ·       Cosmic Juice – American IPA 6.7% ·       Silverback – Russian Imperial Stout 11.5% ·       Eclipse Black Lager – Schwarzbier 5%   You can find Restoration Brew Works on the web at https://restorationbrewworx.com/  and you can also see them on FB @rbwrx and IG at @rbworx.   Get your tickets to the Lorain County Beerfest or better known as the Brewfest Waterfront District.

In this episode Bob and I stay on the IPA train, and turn our attention to the Hazy IPA.  Emphasizing hop aroma and flavor without bracing bitterness, the New England IPA leans heavily on late and dry hopping techniques to deliver a bursting juicy, tropical hop experience. The skillful balance of technique and ingredient selection, often including the addition of wheat or oats, lends an alluring haze to this popular take on the American IPA.   Examples of this style: 1.     Treehouse – Julius 2.     Masthead Brewing Company – Hazy Headlines 3.     The Alchemist – Heady Topper 4.     Crooked Pecker – Max went to Prague   ABV: 6-9% IBUs: 25-60 Color: 3-7 Serving Temp: 45-55F Serving Pressure: 7-13 PSI   Beer Representation: Tickling the Ivories – Hoof Hearted 7.2% ABV N/A IBUs   Beer Description: “Totally dusted,” started Pablo Cruz. “And I can truly say I've never felt better. Posers often overcomplicate it, but I've found all truths associated with the act are easily encapsulated in a few words. Skiing is a dance, and the mountain always leads.” Re-tune that Keytar boiz. We're bustin Rig out of Ski Jail! Citra, Calypso, and Comet carve a trail full o' tropics complimented in full by a dual-duty hazemaker. Is it juice? From concentrate? What'd you say the name of that was again?   Support the show by doing your Amazon shopping through our affiliate link.

In this episode Bob and I Move on to the American Wheat beer. American wheat beers are some of the most approachable beers in the craft beer world, and the versatility of wheat beer allows it to be combined with a variety of ingredients or enjoyed on its own alongside a wide variety of food options. The sizable portion of wheat malt used to brew wheat beer lends a lighter, distinctive experience compared to beers brewed with barley exclusively.   Examples of this style: 1.     Lagunitas – Little Sumpin' Sumpin 2.     Three Floyd's– Gumballhead 3.     Dogfish Head – Namaste   ABV: 4.0-5.5% IBUs: 15-30 Color: 3-6 Serving Temp: 40-45F Serving Pressure: 15-20 PSI   Beer Representation: Oberon – Bell's Brewery 5.8% ABV 10 IBUs Beer Description: Bell's Oberon is a wheat ale fermented with Bell's signature house ale yeast, mixing a spicy hop character with mildly fruity aromas. The addition of wheat malt lends a smooth mouthfeel, making it a classic summer beer.   Support the show by doing your Amazon shopping through our affiliate link.

This week I celebrate my 100th episode with a visit to Cambridge, Ohio. This week's brewery visit was at Guernsey Brewhouse, and I got to sit down with Shawn Long who is the co-owner of Guernsey Brewhouse along with his wife Amy. We were also joined by Shawn's co-brewer Tony Wray. We talked about the history of Cambridge and its lack of brewing history. We discussed the challenge of being a rural brewery and the challenges of being discovered by brewery explorers. This led to Shawn making a very solid point that your regulars are the ones that sustains business due their reliability, which makes it very important to brew great beer that they want to drink. I can tell you that there is no shortage of great beer at Guernsey Brewhouse. We enjoyed a lager, shandy, hazy IPA, and Imperial stout. Beer Selection: ·       Guernsey Lager – 4.5% ·       Spaceman IPA w/ Cryo Hops –7.25% ·       Lemon Shandy –4% ·       S-Bridge Stout  – 9% You can find Guernsey Brewhouse on the web at http://www.guernseybrewhouse.com/ and you can also see them on FB and IG at @guernseybrewhouse.

This week I sat down with Nick Sheets and Zack Cline at Henmick Farm & Brewery near Columbus, Ohio. Henmick is situated on 8 acres of the Sheets family farm in Delaware County. Henmick has a huge amount of outdoor space to accommodate some larger crowds that they often see come through the doors Thursday through Sunday. The beers at Henmick run the gamut. Their portfolio incudes lagers, IPAs, Belgian style beer, farmhouse Saison, to stouts. During the show Nick talked about how it has been a dream of his to own a brewery for over two decades. Finally in 2020 he quit his job in the corporate world to fulfill his dream. Henmick Farm & Brewery was born, although thanks to the pandemic of 2020 the opening was pushed back an additional seven months. Henmick offers a location that not only can you go and enjoy a beer with friends, but it is kid and pet friendly. This is a place you can come and hang out, enjoy great beer, and before you know half the day is over. If you are near Columbus, you definitely need to check out Henmick Farm & Brewery. Beer Selection: ·       Mexican Lager – 4.2% ·       Belgian Strong Golden –9% ·       Saison –6.7% ·       Dunkleweizen  – 5.6%   You can find Henmick Farm Brewery on the web at https://www.henmick.com/home and you can also see them on FB and IG at @henmickfarmbrewery.   Check out the BOS Recommends section of the website for my latest product recommendations.
