Before the dawn of the railroad, New York State was the nation's top beer producer for over 120 years. To break down the state's rich history of brewing, Jimmy talks with Carlo DeVito and Don Cazentre, highly acclaimed writers and historians of beer (among other libations). Don and Carlo make up half the team behind EMPIRE BEER, an upcoming book about the history of beer in New York. Listen and learn about the state's 400 years of brewing, from foraging to “suds buckets" to the craft beers of today!
For the past few years, craft beer sales have declined across the US. To figure out why, Jimmy sat down with Kate Bernot, Missoula-based reporter on beer, alcohol, and food, and former director of the North American Guild of Beer Writers; and Zach Mack, food writer and owner of Alphabet City Beer Co. in NYC. The three talk about how craft lost its popularity, their own memories of craft beer, and how to bring it back in style. Read Kate's full article on the decline of draft beer here!

This week, Beer Sessions Radio welcomes back Jaega Wise and her book “Wild Brews” - the only book twice featured - along with biologist Paul Mankiewicz, to spill all about water. We shall start off with a brief re-intro by Jaega, and Paul's intro of his work with water. Jaega will talk more about her time at water school, before giving you exclusive tips for your first batch. We'll also discuss alkaline and all the bad things that can happen with beers when you get the water wrong, before Paul jumps in with a history lesson on the NYC water system. Jimmy also tries to get involved with a pretty obvious question about hardness, while Jaega and Paul geek out way too hard on the term “scale.”Later on, we come back to the recipes in “Wild Brews” and Burton-on-Trent unique eggy pale ale. The gang also touches on climate change, with its impact on water and the craft beer scene. Last but not least, Jimmy finally finds a consistent way to end the show by bringing back the question-for-other format, before Jaega tells us the same dumb question everyone keeps asking about her book.Grab your goggles and waterproof headphones before joining us on this deep dive!Photo Courtesy of Miles Willis.Heritage Radio Network is a listener supported nonprofit podcast network.

This week, Beer Sessions Radio welcomes two homeschooled brewers — Jeff Lyons from Endless Life Brewing in Brooklyn, and Jaega Wise from Wild Card Brewery in East London, who also happens to be the author of “Wild Brews.” The gang will bang out lessons on homebrewing and sour beers, before revealing the secrets to the water section of Jaega's latest book. The episode starts with Jaega's and Jeff's introduction to the homebrewing world as well as their backgrounds outside of the beer industry. While Jaega grew up in the Midland region in UK, noted for Burton-on-Trent, with a CAMRA beer festival as her first, Jeff hung out with the Beer Judge Certification Program gang in the back room of Jimmy's No. 43. Jaega also shared her unexpectedly perfect journey to beerdom, studying chemical engineering and going to water school for her previous job in water treatment. She went on to explain the keys to controlling what she considers the most underappreciated ingredient in brewing — water. The gang then goes deeper into sour beer and the history of homebrewing, with Jimmy admitting to only being able to make “the no hygiene beer” inspired by the Victorian era's Tudor.

With Sean's background in marine biology and microbiology and his lifelong sidekick Amanda's in sociology, The Seed utilizes the traditions in beer making to elevate their saisons, lagers, pub porters, and IPAs.

Step three: Adding the artistry. Sean will now dive deep into The Seed's naming conventions with lowercase and question marks which pains Ryan as an editor while exciting him as a mad beer fan. But the artistry does not stop there, as Sean reveals the story behind poetry in motion and his basketball career.Last but not least, the plan will finish off with a commitment to keeping the locality, following the traditions, and adding the culture here at The Seed, along with a dandelion secret waiting to be revealed.
