Paul shares stories from the early days of San Diego craft beer, including his homebrewing roots, his time at Hops and Hang Ten, and the path that eventually led him to Karl Strauss. The conversation also gets into beer judging, World Beer Cup medals, collaboration across the local beer scene, and why San Diego continues to stand out as one of the most respected beer communities in the world. It's a great conversation with one of the people who helped shape San Diego beer into what it is today. Check it out!

Walk into a taproom today, and you might see “Italian pilsner” listed on the menu. Have you ever wondered where Italian pilsners came from? Surely this isn't a reference to Peroni or Moretti, those old 19th century Italian beers? No. The style is more recent—thirty years old in 2026—and it dates back to the earliest days of Italian craft brewing. In a small village ten miles south of Como, Italy, Agostino Arioli established Birrificio Italiano. It was the first Italian craft brewery, beating Baladin by three months. On today's podcast, we're going to explore the story of Birrificio Italiano's Tipopils. It is largely responsible for creating the template for what we now call “Italian pilsners.” We're going to talk to Augostino Arioli, the founder of Italiano, and how he came to make his influential dry-hopped lager. We'll also hear from Matt Brynildson, Brewmaster at Firestone Walker, and the man who did more than any other brewer to popularize Italian pilsners. In 2013, Firestone released Pivo Pils, one of the key beers that helped create an enduring market for what we sometimes call craft lagers. That beer was heavily influenced by Tipopils, and in turn helped bring it even more popularity.Visit AllAboutBeer.com for more podcasts, to read original articles, and to get info on upcoming events.Click here to support independent journalism covering the beer industry.Host: Jeff AlworthGuests: Augostino Arioli, Matt BrynildsonSponsor: Escarpment Labratories, All About BeerTags: TipopilsLogo Design: Jeff QuinnPhoto: Matt BrynildsonThe following music was used for this media project:Lounge R&B PianoBy Music_for_videoshttps://pixabay.com/music/rnb-lounge-rampb-piano-166431/ ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★
