Interview from the BrewAsia Media Booth with Wendy Chng Petit of Les Vergers Boiron, & Bret Kollmann Baker, COO Urban Artifact & Beer Ambassador for Les Vergers Boiron. In this interview we discuss the range of fruit purees offered by Les Vergers Boiron, their application in brewing & collaborations with Singaporean brewers. Bret is going to be in Melbourne next week at La Sirene to launch a collaboration brew. Details can be found here: https://www.instagram.com/eustralis.food/p/DAf2z36tMB6/?img_index=1 Details for how to contact Les Vergers Boiron in Australia & New Zealand are listed below if you're interested in trying their fruit purees in your own brewery.

In the early days of craft beer, fruit was added to beer to offer something to people who didn't like beer.  These beers were typically made with syrups added to a beer and not a lot of thought went into them.  Today, breweries are embracing fruit and building beers around them.  The fruit is the focal point of the flavor and with increased scientific knowledge of how to work with fruit, brewers are pushing and pulling levers - microbes used to ferment the beer, when they add the fruit and how much and for how long - to bring forward all the right flavor chemicals.  Modern fruit beer is bursting with flavor.GuestsBret Kollmann Baker is a founder and the COO of Urban Artifact in Cincinnati, Ohio. Urban Artifact is the countries largest fruit beer only brewery, using over 1,000,000 pounds of fruit per year. With degrees in chemical engineering and brewing science, Bret has been able to help build out a brewery dedicated to handling massive amounts of fruit puree. In addition, Bret is the Beer Ambassador for Les Vergers Boiron, helping them reach more professional breweries with their fruit purees. In his free time, writing, hiking, and working on the Brew Skies podcast are his pursuits of passion.5 years ago, Steven Smith-Hay started Vault City Brewing after experimenting with heavily fruited, mixed fermentation sour beers and spotting a niche with huge potential in an otherwise crowded market. As a keen home brewer, Steven saw the accessibility of Vault City's signature style as an opportunity to reach avid craft beer fans and non-beer drinkers alike. He has since seen the company grow from just two full-time employees to nearly 30 across Vault City's brewery and its two bars. Steven's past life as an IT consultant seems a world away in 2023, which makes for a good story about boring day jobs and exciting hobby-turned-career opportunities that may have otherwise remained a daydream. This Episode is Sponsored by:Estrella GaliciaEstrella Galicia is an independent, family-owned brewery  in northwest Spain, founded in 1906.Estrella Galicia Cerveza Especial is a world class lager, brewed using the finest Spanish malts, locally  cultivated Galician hops and the best brewing practices, in a state-of-the-art facility in A Coruna.

This week we catch up with Paul Daley, Craft Beer Ambassador Leader, Education & Experiences at Lion. Paul recently travelled to the US where he passed his Advanced Cicerone exam, making him one of the handful of advanced Cicerones in Australia.  As you'll hear, Paul has had a lengthy career in hospitality and liquor, but he is one of those people that has found a passion for beer and craft beer in particular and is a tireless advocate for changing the way people think about it. I never tire talking beer with Paul, and his enthusiasm and drive to share the best of what beer can be often reignites my own enthusiasm and I wanted to capture a little of that in this conversation.

My guest today is a self-proclaimed Arkansas craft beer evangelist and beer ambassador for Arkansas, Mr. Scott Parton. Scott is the author of Arkansas Beer Scene Blog, co-host of Tap Time on 103.7 The Buzz and as well-known by his Twitter handle, @WooPigBrewey. He has another heady job as a longtime employee and IT operations analyst at Stevens Inc. in Little Rock, Arkansas.

Craft Beer is its own festival In this episode of Dadhouse, the dads welcome 4 Hands Brewery Beer Ambassador Jeremy Danner to the show. It should be no surprise that five dads love talking about beer, and some of us have the bellies to prove it. What's the current craft beer scene look like and what kind of beer should you try to get into it? With a thousand different mixtures and flavors, there's something for everyone. Dadhouse tries to get into it, so join us as we talk about beer, beer, beer!  Stay at home dad round up 3:12--Who knew that Mick has experience growing hops? Also, it surprises none of us. Jump in here to hear our Iowan farm boy talk about what makes beer, well, beer. Take a deep dive on the link and learn even more about the iconic plant.  3:44—It wouldn't be a Dadhouse episode without one of us picking a fight. In this case, Shannon and Larry have a few words for Mike.  5:00—The Dadhouse crew and their families went to the Kansas City Improv. They had a blast and Shannon took the stage to participate on a skit. And although he was nervous, what he was mostly worried about was if his pants were unzipped. We also want to give a shout out to Fat Sully's for seriously one of the biggest pizzas we have ever seen. 2 feet across and goes well with craft beer, just saying.  11:15—Take a minute to like, subscribe, and follow Dadhouse on Twitter, Facebook, or Instagram.  11:50—Before jumping into the topic, let's set the record straight. Every dad deserves support and the question we get asked the most is where to find friendships. City Dads Group and the National At-Home Dad organization are your first steps. We get this asked this so much, Shannon wrote an in depth article about the best places and ways to find your dad community.  14:54—We were lucky enough to go to HomeDadCon the last year and get advice from a great community. Here is this week's contribution from Alex.  Craft beer talk with Jeremy Danner 17:42—Welcome to the show 4 Hands Brewery Beer Ambassador Jeremy Danner. Jeremy has worked in the beer world for years and no one knows the scene quite like him. Join us as he answers all the questions the dads have for him. As a father of 1, he loves to share what he knows with everyone. And take a minute to listen to his podcast I Love This Town, which is about Kansas City!  19:42—The craft beer environment can be intimidating as hell to get into. There is a fear that gatekeepers are ready to drop your man buns right on top of you. Turns out this isnt' the case at all as Jeremy answers the first question: Where do you even start? And what better place than trying some brews from 4 Hands.  23:29—How does it work when a specialty beer is made? Is there a starting barrel count or do you just brew away? 24:47—And speaking of how we make beer, how do you market it? Is there any market research conducted? This is the ins and outs of the process that fascinate Shannon 30:02—Are you looking for an introductory beer? Jeremy Danner has you covered here.  31:00—One of the great moments of HomeDadCon was the beer exchange where dads from all over the country brought their best local beers to share.  36:07—Does Jeremy share his hobbies and passion with his kids? There is a science behind the crafting and it's enough to get any inquisitive kid intrigued.  38:58—What's the difference between a pale ale, and IPA and all the other types of beers? This is one of those beginner questions that need an answer.  42:14—4 Hands Brewery does some fantastic charity work and their City Wide Mission initiative has rasied hundreds of thousands of dollars for non-profits in the St. Louis area. These are the kind of companies we can all get behind.  Time for the Dadhouse 5 47:41—It's time for the Dadhouse 5! The questions we ask to check your dadness!  Plus, Mick comes up with an extra one.  A special thank you to Jeremy Danner and 4 Hand Brewery company for having a laugh wi...

You're listening to our Virtual Taproom visit with Kristin Martino, marketing manager for Salt Lake Brewing Co., and Libby Taylor, general manager of the West Side Tavern and Beer Ambassador for Salt Lake Brewing Co. These brief Virtual Taproom conversations are recorded via Zoom and the video is available now on the Utah Beer News YouTube channel. As I've done with previous Virtual Taproom episodes, I wanted to share the audio portion with the Utah Beer News podcast listeners. Rather than the more in-depth interviews and brewery histories typical of our podcast episodes, these bite-sized conversations feature more so-called “newsy” information. We talk about new beer releases, upcoming events, and general happenings at Utah's craft breweries. If you're in the Utah beer industry and would like to be a guest on an upcoming episode, please send me an email at tim@utahbeernews.com. For this one, we get to hear about an important beer now pouring at Wasatch Brewery locations. Brave Noise Beer is a nationwide collaboration designed to advocate for safe spaces and inclusive environments. Breweries are banding together to brew a pale ale and at the same time make their code of conduct policies easily accessible to the public. We also talk about Wasatch Brewery's 35th Anniversary, which officially takes place on Oct. 22, 2021. A lot has changed in the Utah craft beer landscape over the last three-and-a-half decades, but Wasatch remains an industry leader. Learn how you can help the trailblazing brewery celebrate 35 years. We recorded our conversation on Oct. 19, 2021, and, as I mentioned, you can catch the full video on our YouTube channel, as well as on our Facebook Page. Thanks to Libby and Kristin for taking the time to talk with Utah Beer News. And thank you for listening. If you enjoy this type of storytelling, I'd really appreciate if you could please leave a review on your podcast platform of choice. Enjoy the episode! Episode 67 | October 20, 2021

We talk with Matt Strain about his life. Moving from life as a chef to an at home dad, his move to sobriety despite a love for good beer, and how he became a brand ambassador to Athletic Brewing. His experience as a chef led him to seek out a non-alcoholic beer that actually tastes good, and he found it. We think you can find inspiration in his story, and maybe a new favorite beer. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/homedadchat/message

Scott Parton, known as Arkansas’ Beer Ambassador, was born and raised in the small town of Piggott, Arkansas and attended Arkansas State University in the neighboring city, Jonesboro. He's worked for Stephens as an Operations Analyst for the past 25 years, but his claim to fame has nothing to with computers but craft beer. Scott does not yet own a brewery, though he has dabbled in making his own beer. No, Scott's claim to fame is through enlightening people about different types of beers and being the liaison between local breweries and beer enthusiasts. He co-hosts a show on 103.7 The Buzz called Tap Time that explores the growth of Arkansas' craft beer scene and what it takes to make a good beer. Scott has a passion for writing and has often written articles for various magazines and websites. He runs arkbeerscene.com, a blog all about beer which he uses to keep his readers informed about what is going on in Arkansas' craft beer scene. Scott is also very active on Twitter, and you might follow him and not even know it. His handle isn't his name but instead is @WooPigBrewie.

A pal of mine Luis Herrera who also happens to be the Beer Ambassador for SMBC even joins us near the end of the episode. Up until they opened up SMBC there were no breweries in Goodyear. With a little tenacity and help from an awesome member of the city council they were finally able to make history. In this episode we talk about their journey and how this city council member now has a beer named after him at the brewery.

Season 3, Episode 45 – This week on the show, Temecula’s Beer Ambassador, aka John Ryti, joins us with some new stuff from Ironfire Brewing and Relentless Brewing, and we also try a little beer named Space Trace from Bottle Logic Brewing. This week, we are happy to welcome back our good friend and beer geek, John Ryti. He brought us some new beers from Relentless Brewing Company (first time on the show, by the way) and a hop-bomb from Ironfire Brewing Company that was tapped right off of the bright tank, so you know it’s fresh. Growler Tags from Relentless Brewing Company Temecula is quite the hot spot in the Inland Empire brewing scene, and if you have yet to visit and check out the breweries around the area, you’re totally missing out. Ironfire has been a mainstay for us locals over the past few years, while Relentless is the new kid on the block who’s already proving to be a must-visit brewery. Bottle Logic Brewing – Space Trace (photo: Jessica Rice McNew) We wrap up the show with Bottle Logic Brewing’s newest barrel-aged-beer-geek-bomb called Space Trace. This beer is their barrel-aged German Chocolate Cake Stout (which we also drink on the show this week) and DUDE, it is amazing. Much thanks to Matt Robertson at Bottle Logic for hitting us up and giving us a bottle. (It’s so fuggin’ good…) BREW THE SHIT OUT OF IT.

Season 2, Episode 13 - This week, we’re drinking some pretty rad sours while John gets serious about bottle dates. Welcome to the fourth show, that is, the fourth show of session 14 of Four Brewers. In case you’re unfamiliar with how we record shows, we get together every three weeks and record three shows in a four hour session, which we broadcast live on Google Hangouts and our YouTube channel. The shows are then edited in post-production and released weekly. Due to scheduling conflicts, we had to record four episodes during our last session (that’s a lot of beer…). This leads us to this week’s episode. The discussions get a little heated and a bit off the rails, and our deepest inner beer geeks come out to play. Now that you know what you’re in for, let’s dive in! Here Gose Nothin’ We start off with a beer thats new to all of us that was provided by Temecula’s [self-proclaimed] Beer Ambassador, Mr. John Ryti, Destihl Brewery’s Here Gose Nothin’. The best way to describe this beer is clean, refreshing, and cleansing. It has notes of tangerine and clementines, and packs a big and salty sour punch. We all enjoy the beer, but all agree that this is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the awesome sours that Destihl became known for a few years ago and is still currently making. Figaro from Cascade Brewing Cascade Brewing is up next with Figaro, a “northwest-style” ale made with white figs and lemon peel and aged in Chardonnay barrels. It has a rough, but balanced sourness, and is quite savory, to say the least. This is the first time we’ve all heard of white figs, and we find out that there are actually many different varieties of figs out there. TIL. The Dissident Next up is a tasting of three different vintages of The Dissident from Deschutes Brewery; 2008, 2012, and 2014. This beer is a sour brown ale that is made with cherries, and is meant to age in the bottle…by design. What this means is that Deschutes specifically designed this beer to age and sour in the bottle, much like beers that are bottle conditioned with brettanomyces. In fact, it even has an “enjoy after” date printed in the back of the bottle. It’s this “enjoy after” concept that sparks a debate on the show. Should a brewery release a beer that isn’t ready for consumption when it’s fresh? Is the brewery catering specifically to beer geeks who plan to cellar this beer? Is the brewery right to put the burden of aging a beer to its prime on the consumer? These are all brought up during the debate, and makes for an interesting and lively discussion. As far as The Dissident goes, it’s a great beer that changes a lot, mostly for the good, over a few years of cellaring. Deschutes knows sours, and it shows with this beer.

Season 1, Episode 28 - This week, some totally rad brews from our friend Philip Lorenzini, special guests John Ryti and Time Ryan, and Foudre, duders! Long time friend of New Brew Thursday and Four Brewers, Philip Lorenzini, hooked us up with some really great beers, and we invited some friends to spread the beer love, John Ryti, aka Temecula’s Beer Ambassador, and Tim Ryan, aka “Showtime”. We start with a beer that we meant to get to last month on the show, Cascade Brewing Company‘s Foudre #1. This beer is a blend of three soured triple ales and was released in celebration of Cascade’s newly acquired foudre. If you’re not sure what a foudre is, it’s essential a very large wooden barrel, or cask. This photo was taken at Crooked Stave a few years ago and shows a style of foudre. Cascade, Perennial, and Three Taverns Beers. Needless to say, Foudre #1 is pretty great. Cascade used to be a somewhat rare treat for us in these parts, since they are located in Portland, Oregon, but their distribution to SoCal has picked up, and now we can very easily and joyfully give them all of our beer monies. Next up are two beers from Perennial Artisan Ales, one of which was provided by Philip Lorenzini, and the other acquired by our very own Matt Becker. Fist up is Saison de Lis, which is a Belgian style ale made with chamomile flowers. The chamomile works very well in this brew, and the beer itself stands out as very unique. Hints of cinnamon spice crept their way into the beer, too. It’s really interesting and totally worth trying if the opportunity ever presents itself to you. Stefon is next up. This was a collaboration beer between Perennial and Solemn Oath Brewery. It’s a dark rye farmhouse ale that was conditioned with brettanomyces. The brett isn’t very dominant in this beer, which is neither a good nor bad quality, and the beer overall is very well balanced and flavorful. Last up from Philip is Theophan The Recluse from Three Taverns Craft Beers. This beer is an Imperial Russian Stout that has flavors of raisins, bread and chocolate. This brewery is new to us, and this first offering was really solid. BIG, BIG thanks to Philip for sending these beers. He’s and awesome guy and a loyal fan. Cheers, dude! Onto something that we’re really excited about: We’ve started a Patreon campaign! If you don’t know what Patreon is, it’s a crowdfunding service similar to Kickstarter, except it’s meant to allow donors, or “patrons” as they call them, the opportunity to give continued support for artists through monetary donations. In our case, we are accepting donations on a per-episode basis. You can contribute any amount you wish, per episode, be it a quarter or ten bucks (holy shit!). Take the time to check it out. We ultimately want to offer more content to our fans, i.e. supplemental video content of our personal brew days and homebrewing techniques, visiting breweries, going to more festivals, etc., and we can only do that with your help. If you feel you get any value from the show, please consider throwing some duckets our way. We’re off to a great start, and couldn’t be happier about the generosity of our fans and friends thus far. THANK YOU!
