Podcasts about Anderson Valley Brewing Company

Herlinda Heras and Kevin McGee Kevin McGee from Anderson Valley Brewing Company joins Steve Jaxon and Herlinda Heras on Brew Ha Ha today. AVBC is the official brewery of the 2024 Great Dickens Christmas Fair at the Cow Palace in San Francisco. Kevin McGee has been on this show a few times, most recently this episode on May 2, 2024. Anderson Valley Brewing Company has been in business for 37 years. Their entire property is now licensed as a beer tasting room. There is a disc golf course on the site now. They like to offer an experience a little more memorable than just drinking a beer. His family bought the company in 2019 and they also relaunched the Healdsburg Beer Company. Visit Russian River Brewing Co. on 4th St. and at their Windsor location. Click the logo to visit their website for hours, menus and beers on tap. Kevin tried making wine at home but without success. His wife suggested he try beer, so he changed his business plan in 2007. At the time it was hard to sell the beer, but Guy Fieri's restaurant was one of the first customers. AVBC was the first brewery to use only solar energy. They also have a completely self-contained water system that draws water from wells on the property and returns all their used water to the ground on site. The Great Dickens Christmas Fair This year AVBC is the official brewery of the Great Dickens Christmas Fair at the Cow Palace in San Francisco, from November 23 through December 22, from 10am-6pm.

With the recent news of Anderson Valley Brewing Company up for sale, Joe and Nick learned about the brewery using solar panels to source half of their energy, and this opened the door for more research! We discuss the organization (USGBC) that certifies businesses who demonstrate environmentally friendly and sustainable practices and how those businesses can achieve a LEED certification - our focus is on craft breweries but there are plenty of other businesses (many in North Carolina) who have achieved LEED Certified status. From solar panels and wind turbines to efficiency in equipment and infrastructure to reduce energy waste, there are solutions and opportunities for breweries to reduce their energy consumption and also reduce their energy costs by using alternative sources.

Dan Berger Dan Berger is the featured guest on his own show today, to tell Steve Jaxon about Bahl Fratty Riesling, his new wine label. When Dan Berger first discovered fine wine early in his career as a journalist, it was an encounter with Riesling that got his attention. Today we get to hear about his first attempt to make a Riesling to his own demanding standards, and Steve Jaxon gets to taste some of it. Dan Berger is on CWC every week, but in these two special episodes last year, he was also the featured guest, telling his story to Steve Jaxon and co-host Harry Duke. The first week was about his career in journalism. The second week has the story about the corked Riesling and about Dan's annual wine competition. First they taste a 2018 Black Kite Chardonnay from Petaluma Gap. It has combined flavors of citrus fruit and cream. (Like a Creamsicle? asked the editor.) It spent about a year  in the barrels. Mendocino County Grown Riesling Dan is a big fan of Mendocino county for the great fruit it produces. In 2005 a friend in New York said they can make Riesling better than we can in California. He thought of Cole Ranch in Mendocino County. The name Bahl Fratty is in Boontling, the local lingo of Booneville. It has an entire vocabulary of local terms. For example, the very first telephone installed in Booneville was put in by a man named Bucky Walter. So, the telephones were called a buckywalter. A cup of coffee is a Horn of Zeess. Anderson Valley Brewing Company has a beer called Bahl Hornin'. Click the logo to visit our sponsor Bottle Barn online for the coolest bargains on wine, beer and spirits. Dan likes his Rieslings dry and this may be the driest of all. Dan's winemaker is Greg La Follette, who will be on CWC next week. It was not until 2022 that Dan could get access to some of the Cole Ranch fruit. This is his first production. Riesling takes the personality of where it grows, in the mountains or valleys. Dan has brought some salmon and cream cheese to show how his Riesling goes perfectly with it. He plans to make another vintage, from two different sources this time, the one in Mendocino and another from Carneros. He will also make a little bit of Vermentino.

The boys drink and review Anderson Valley Brewing Company's Winter Solstice Ale, then discuss Freemasonry. How do you learn about a secret society without becoming a member? It's hard to know what to believe about them. Still, P&C did their best to find the essential details. Stone mason guilds started to have outsized political power and started to admit people who weren't stone masons. The organization grew in numbers and power, and was very influential in the founding of the United States. They became closely associated with Englightenment thinking and promoted the ideas of rationality and science. One of their mottos is to "make good men better." But what does it mean to be a mason? What about all their spooky rituals? And why is the Catholic Church against them? The boys discuss.

Fal Allen from Anderson Valley Brewing Company is back on Brew Ha Ha with Steve Jaxon and Herlinda Heras. Kevin McGhee, President and CEO of the brewery, is also in. Brew Ha Ha is brought to you by Russian River Brewing Co. and The Beverage People / Fermenter's Warehouse. Fal Allen started with a brewpup in a town of 500 people but they have grown into a brew park on 28 acres with a production brewery. They took the time during the pandemic to actually hire people and do some development work. Kevin tells about how his family bought into the business in January of 2019, just before the pandemic hit. They decided they would not do any layoffs or furloughs and no salaries or benefits were cut. They even added a few people to their staff.   Kevin was a gang prosecutor in San Mateo County, then worked in a law firm, then worked for Jess Jackson, who helped him go to Stanford Business School. He also opened a brewery in his garage, Healdsburg Beer Company. The Beverage People have partnered with Anderson Valley Brewing to provide ingredients and tools to make their Gose beer. Kevin used their services when he was starting his early home brewing operation. Anderson Valley Brewing Co. has expanded their license to their tasting room to the fence line of their property, so the entire property is actually available now. It is dog and family friendly and they put in a large sodded lawn. They launched some unusual flavors like a hazy sour ale with passion fruit, guava and coriander, which is their #2 nationwide seller, behind their #1 Boont Amber Ale. There is a salted caramel porter. Fal Allen has written two books about beer, one is about Barley Wine and another about Gose, an old German style. Russian River Brewing Co. is open in Windsor and Santa Rosa, check their website for the exact up-to-date hours, beers and menus, or call 707 545 BEER. Fal Allen has brought a few cans of his salted caramel porter. “It's a lot like candy,” says Fal. Fal also has some boubon barrel aged beers. It is sweet but very flavorful. It's a really nice dessert beer. It's 9.5% alcohol. They also taste the Healdsburg porter. Kevin started this beer in his garage, then scaled it up for production. The best place to get information on the beer park would be on the Anderson Valley Brewing face book page. While they are gearing up to expand, with a massive pergola and a pizza oven, Hop Monk's food truck will be there starting tomorrow, Friday, Saturday and Sunday for the foreseeable future. Also, Bill De Carli from Hop Monk is helping them book music now, too. They also have just started hosting the local farmers' market on Fridays, from 3-7pm.

Fal Allen from Anderson Valley Brewing Co. and Gabe Jackson from The Beverage People are both on Brew Ha Ha to talk to Steve Jaxon and Herlinda Heras. Fal Allen was on this show two years ago, in August of 2018, talking about his Gose beer. The Beverage People sells kits for brewing specific types of beer, including one that uses Anderson Valley Brewing’s recipe for Gose style beer. This is a German style that AVB has been making and now its recipe is available to home brewers. The Beverage People has been supplying Sonoma County home brewers since 1980 with equipment, ingredients and expertise, for making beer and wine at home but also mead, kombucha, cheese, olives, and more. During the pandemic a lot of people have started baking bread, and they all agree that these folks should also try brewing beer. Gose is a German sour wheat beer that is one of the oldest beer recipes still in use, even if it is very unusual even for a German beer. It was popular in the 1300s then later in the 1700s and 1800s in Leipzig it became popular. Then it became popular in the 1980s in Germany. Fal Allen has actually written a book about Gose style beer. It is 4.2% alcohol. It’s a new trend in craft beer to have less alcohol. Herlinda says that in England there is an extra tax on beer over 4.5% alcohol, which goes to transportation services. Gabe Jackson talks about the importance of having pleasant and productive activities during the pandemic “mayhem” as Steve Jaxon calls it. Herlinda mentions that they are always available to give personal advice to their customers about how to use their equipment, and that this is nicer and more productive than just looking things up on line by yourself. Fal Allen mentions that the next recipe that Anderson Valley Brewing Company will provide to The Beverage People may be their very popular Boont Amber Ale. They remember the late Byron Birch, who founded The Beverage People. Gabe Jackson calls him their “spirit guy” and says that beer was like his religion. When Byron started the store, there were almost no books about home brewing, but that he had written one. Fal Allen started in beer as a home brewer, using Byron’s book and remembers him as an important mentor. The Anderson Valley Brewing Company brewpub is closed right now and Fal Allen says they are renovating it during the closure to turn the entire 23 acres into a German-style beer garden. There is camping space for over 4000 people, between the brewery and a nearby park. In 2021 they hope to return to their usual late-April date for the beer festival and also possibly Oktoberfest. They also have an 18-hole disc golf course. Herlinda mentions Russian River Brewing Co. is also promoting Pliny for President 2020 and their Black is Beautiful beer. The outside patio is open at RRBC and the bottle shop is open. You can sit outside at their 4th street Santa Rosa location. The Beverage People's staff are always available to give advice about using their stuff. Visit the Beverage People dot com.  They have all you need to make beer, cider, wine, cheese, kombucha, olives and more. You can order anything and pick it up in person at their store on Piner Road, or have it delivered to you.

Anderson Valley Brewing Company brewmaster Fal Allen talks about his new book, Gose: Brewing a Classic German Beer for the Modern Era.

Fal Allen from Anderson Valley Brewing is our guest on Brew Ha Ha today, joining Steve Jaxon, Mark Carpenter and Herlinda Heras. Herlinda Heras says we will talk about Gose beers today with Fal Allen who has written a new book called Gose: Brewing an Ancient Beer in Modern Times. Anderson Valley Brewing Co. cans have the slogan Bahl Hornin' printed at the top of the can. This is an expression in Boontling, the dialect of Boonville, California. It means "good drinkin'." Visit this page on the AVBC website for more about Boontling. Here is a video where Fal Allen talks to a Boonville resident who speaks Boontling. Steve introduces Fal Allen from award-winning Anderson Valley Brewing Company in Boonville, in Mendocino County. Anderson Valley was a hop growing region in the late 1800s. Powdery mildew killed all the plants. The brewery opened in 1988. They opened a brewpub in a town of 500 people and they quickly found that people would come up from San Francisco to buy their beer. It became popular in the mid 90s and they switched from a brewpub to a production brewery. Mark notes that it was very early in the brewpub business. They did an annual beer festival that attracted more brewers than anywhere else. Herlinda notes that they still do it. But first she mentions Fal Allen’s new book about Gose beer. The one they are tasting is the Framboise Rose Gose beer. Steve likes it. Herlinda asks Fal Allen to describe Gose beer. It’s one of the oldest styles of beer in the world, from Germany, even before the Rheinheitsgebot. There were a lot of sour beers, like Gose. It’s very light and has a little salt in it and Fal explains why. The beer is named after the town and the river that runs through it, in Goslar. Herlinda has to leave early today because she’s going to the ELO concert in Oakland at Oracle Arena. After the break, Mark asks Fal Allen about his other books. He and Dick Cantwell wrote a book about Barley Wine several years ago. Sierra Nevada makes one, so does Anderson Valley Brewing. It's a big strong beer, and hard to make, with the highest alcohol and the most hops. Mark remembers that at Anchor Brewing, they were one of the first Barley Wine makers in the US. Fritz Maytag discovered it while visiting England. It's called Barley Wine because it is high in alcohol, but only used barley. Fal Allen says they make one every year. They're aged for a long time and can be rather sweet, with a raisiny, plummy flavor. They're made in the Fall to be consumed during the Winter. Next they taste a Gold Gose. Fal found demand for lower alcohol lighter beers. Coors Banquet came out the winner of their taste test. Their Boonville Gold is like a Pilsner but a bit more hoppy, easy drinking. Mark agrees there are two markets, one for low-alcohol lighter beers and another for the hoppy IPAs. Fal Allen is also a firefighter and Steve asks him about some fires that are burning up in Mendocino County right now (as the show is being recorded). He says they have had four fires just in July, from different causes. It is so dry up there that it takes hardly anything to start a fire. Steve mentions that a lot of California officials are using the term "the new normal" to describe the more dangerous fire conditions that are present in the last several years. Fal Allen mentions that the Santa Rosa fires last year were wind-driven and that once the wind pushes a fire there is no stopping it. Finally, they taste an Old Fashioned beer, made to taste like the cocktail of that name. It has some cherry and orange peel, aged it in Wild Turkey Bourbon barrels and added Angostura bitters. It's 8.3% alcohol. Fal Allen is happily surprised with the result. Mark agrees that it's fun in brewing, to try for a goal and then to achieve it.

  “And I think it saved the day, because we didn't have any money.” —Captain Rainbow     About: No place has tested the currents of change more than the Anderson Valley, a Gaza Strip-sized setting hidden in the hills of Northern California. Home to the language of Boontling, a fast fading past prose of the old frontier, the fate of the area’s kitschy tongue relies not on whether the valley will change, but how.

It is a heavy Stout with a strong whiskey aroma and aftertaste seeing as it is aged in Bourbon Barrels. If you like Stout, and you like Whiskey, you will love Huge Arker.
