On this episode, you'll hear the remarkable story of Bass Pale Ale. This story begins at the dawn of the industrial age, and charts Bass's rise as one of the first global brewing brands. Over the course of two centuries, its pale ales evolved to meet the times, and today we know Bass as one of Britain's classic cask ales—a beer enjoying a current renaissance among the country's pubs. In many ways, in telling the story of Bass, we're recounting the history of brewing in Britain over the past two centuries: its technological and industrial rise, the collapse that befell the giants over the past generation, and, perhaps, an encouraging revival. You'll hear from Harry White, who started at Bass in the research and development department in 1977. He would become Director of Quality Assurance in 1989, and stayed with the company until 2007. Today he is the chairman of the National Brewery Heritage Trust in Burton Upon Trent. You'll also hear from Pete Brown, one of the most celebrated beer writers in the world and the author of over a dozen books, including his most recent, Tasting Notes – The Art and Science of Pairing Beer and Music.It's an amazing brewery and an amazing story, all befitting one of the world's most iconic beers.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.This episode is sponsored by:RahrBSGThis episode of the One Iconic Beer podcast is supported by RahrBSG – trusted supplier to brewers, distillers, and beverage makers across North America.  From the barley field to your brewhouse, we're proud to support the people behind great beer with the ingredients, expertise, and service they depend on.  Whether you're brewing the next great American Double IPA or crafting an award-winning continental lager, RahrbSG provides the industry's finest quality, selection, and support.

Spending some time with beer's raw ingredients is important. Finding out what is new, exciting, or how other brewers are utilizing them to create world class beer helps make the whole industry stronger and pints taste better. This month, we're taking a look at malt and speaking with two industry professionals who are intimately involved in the processing and promotion of grain.Andrea Stanley is the co-owner of Valley Malt, a craft malthouse in Western Massachusetts supplying craft brewers, distillers, and bakers with locally grown malts and grain. In 2009 Andrea read an article about local farms and bakeries in the fertile CT River Valley reviving the lost art of growing and processing local grains. As an avid supporter of local food, Andrea saw an opportunity to connect this emerging local grain growing with craft brewing. She reached out to a local vegetable grower in her hometown of Hadley and convinced him to plant 25 acres of barley as a crop rotation.Initially her goal was to prove that malt barley could be successfully cultivated in Massachusetts and malted into an ingredient that local breweries would want to use. In October 2010, Andrea shoveled the first 1-Ton batch of locally grown malt and has since worked with her husband, malting team, and the local farming community to build a supply chain in the Northeast that continues to grow, despite many challenges to overcome. In 2022 Valley Malt underwent a major expansion, adding 1 million pounds of grain cleaning and storage and the capacity to malt 1.5 millions pounds annually.  Valley Malt now supports over 700 acres of grains annually in NY, VT, NH, MA, ME and CT with the plan to keep growing in the coming years by installing additional germination bins.  On the larger-scale commercial side of malt, Zach Kelly the territory sales manager in Northern California for the Country Malt Group. After a career in the brewhouse - where he worked for companies like Russian River and Hen House, he now helps brewers make smart decisions when it comes to finding the right grain bill for their next brew. Passionate about lagers and west coast IPA, Zach shares insight on what's exciting, reliable and available.

What if using less hops made beer more hoppy?  In a series of trials one North Carolina brewery was able to prove, by using advanced hop products, thiol flavors could be boosted through efficient use of ingredients, rather than more-is-better. Better beer.  Better efficiency.  Lower cost.  It's a whole new way to use hops.  And consumers are enthusiastic not only of the flavors, but also the lower price of the beer!On this bonus episode, we are going to talk about thiolized flavor from advanced hop products. Host Don Tse talks with Hopsteiner and NoDa Brewing Company about how NoDa was able to use new products to achieve a unique flavor outcome.GuestsChad Henderson is one of the founding members of NoDa Brewing Company.  He started as the head brewer and became Co-Owner in 2014 after the company's 3rd year anniversary.  Chad's focus with NoDa Brewing Company has been to produce exciting and consistent beer varieties while also looking at increasing brewhouse and production efficiency.  Chad's innovation and product utilization have contributed to multiple awards and increased sales as well as inserting new styles into the market without jeopardizing NoDa's current portfolio.Steve Bradt has enjoyed a long and rewarding career in craft brewing, beginning in 1989 at the newly opened Free State Brewing Co. in Lawrence, Kansas and now extending into the supply side as regional representative for Hopsteiner where a lifelong passion for hops gets a chance to grow in a new direction. Steve has established and maintained a strong relationship to the brewing community as brewer, beer judge, writer, and through service and leadership in the Brewers Association, Master Brewers Association of the Americas and Kansas Brewers Guild, as well as other organizations.This Episode is Sponsored by:HopsteinerThis episode is brought to you by Hopsteiner and Alora™ hops.

With our proximity to Mexico, it's always nice to have a light malty beer on tap. Good with tacos or good after a hike along Mission Trails Good Pressure Amber is a perfect beer if you want some thing light and freshing that not just a fizzy yellow beer.

Once again we deep dive into Martin's cellar and find out if he's kept gold or held on for too long. Brekeriet released King's Goblet back in 2020. It's a strong ale aged in Rioja wine barrels for 9 months. It was never a huge hit. It averages a 3.53 overall rating on Untappd. Hopefully it hasn't fallen off.  Mikkeller Brewing San Diego closed in 2022. Valknut also came out in 2020. This imperial stout originally had coffee, vanilla, pecans and was aged in maple barrels. No walnuts were used in the making of this beer. We had it back in 2020 and gave it a 4.5 rating. How does it hold up 6 years later?    #beer #craftbeer #drinks #goldenale #barrelaged #imperialstout

Eric Franco has worked across the full US drinks spectrum: SAB-Miller, Carlsberg territory, Leinenkugel, Michigan craft breweries, multi-state distribution, and on-premise operation from 1994 onwards.The conversation covers the three-tier system, the capital myth of “launching in the US,” the patience premium of heritage brands, the retailer as customer, what spirits missed that craft beer learned the hard way, and why regional taste profiles make the same IPA unsellable across state lines.It's a working-session view of the US as a market that looks like one territory on a pitch deck and behaves like fifty.The US is the most profitable beverage market in the world.

You don't think that all those Belgian monks are making beer just to support their monasteries, do you? With all that fantastic beer floating around some of it makes it's way to the lunch table. But since it's hard to focus on prayer and highly unsafe to brew while consuming a 12% ABV beer, the monks created a Belgian Table beer. Friar Duck give you all the fruity and clove flavors you'd expect from a larger Belgian beer but all wrapped up in non-day-wrecking 4%.

Sometimes you get beers that are more than a beer. They are works of art. Stigbergets has been one of our favorite Swedish breweries for a long time. They continue to excel at releasing different beer styles, particularly their DIPA. Dubbelnelson is a NZ style double IPA made with nelson suavin hops. It's smooth, tropical and way to easy to drink. UK brewers Beak are killing it with their DIPA game. Pop-Art continues their success. This DIPA comes in at 8% ABV and contains citra and nelson sauvin. Fuity, grassy and makes you appreciate the art of brewing. #beer #drinks #craftbeer #dipa #neipa

Foundry Chocolate in New Zealand release only a single inclusion bar each year, but this annual release has become one of the hottest tickets in craft chocolate. Each fall (for the Northern Hemisphere—spring for NZ), they release a bar infused with a different whisky from artisan New Zealand distillery Thomson Whisky. Each year's release is a unique flavor concept, and co-founder David Herrick and his team spend time throughout the year perfecting each annual batch. In this nerdy, deep-dive conversation, David Herrick and host David Nilsen discuss the planning stages for each bar, walk through each annual release since 2021, and talk about the details of Foundry's process for infusing whisky into these bars. The Davids also talk about Foundry's origin story, the meaning behind their name, the thoughtful of their packaging, and what keeps them excited and curious.You can learn more about Foundry on their website, or follow them on Instagram.You can listen to episodes with New Zealander Luke Owen Smith here and here.1:00 - Introduction3:40 - Start of Interview: Foundry's backstory13:35 - The meaning of the name “Foundry”17:30 - Whisky and the Thompson Distillery21:50 - Whisky bar releases 2021-202542:45 - Whisky infusion process53:40 - Release events and enthusiasm54:55 - 2026 R&D57:50- What he's currently excited about1:06:55 - Packaging and the story Foundry is telling1:13:55 - End of interview1:20:40 - End of episodeGuest:David Herrick, along with his wife Janelle, are co-founders of Foundry Chocolate, a New Zealand-based bean-to-bar craft chocolate maker whose globally award-winning single origin, two ingredient bars make the flavor possible from single origins their absolute focus.

Without yeast, there is no beer.  Yeast occurs naturally and for millennia, it operated mysteriously. After the invention of the microscope, scientists could see and start to isolate and control yeast.  Now, thanks to new scientific developments, there are new yeast strains, designed to work better in current breweries, with current ingredients and to produce currently in vogue flavors.There is probably no other area in brewing where science is making beer better.This Episode is Sponsored by:HopsteinerLet's talk brewhouse efficiency: Replacing pellet loads with Salvo cannot only boost aroma density, but reduce trub load and increase beer wart. Seems like simple math, but if it is still not obvious— replacing pellets with Salvo can give you MORE BEER per batch with BETTER brewhouse efficiency.

On this bonus episode of the All About Beer Podcast, Don Tse interviews Sennos CEO and Founder Jared Resnick and Chris Baker the Director of Brewing Operations for Mother Earth Brew Co. Fermentation is a black box.  What exactly is going inside those tanks?By continuously measuring gravity, pH, temperature, pressure, dissolved oxygen, conductivity and ambient temperature and ambient pressure, Sennos state-of-the-art sensors give brewers a look inside their tank, with a simple instrument that inserts through the fermenter's sample port and stays in place with a standard tri-clamp.This trove of data, coupled with Sennos' app, gives brewers a movie of their fermentation instead of a handful of snapshots.  Sennos promises better control of fermentations, proactive problem solving and better beer quality. This Episode is Sponsored by:SennosWhat if your tanks could tell you everything — not just where gravity is, but why your fermentation is behaving the way it is?

During the recent craft brewers conference All About Beer set up at Human Robot for a suite of podcasts. I was happy to get together with Brandon Jones, the long-time brewer and creator of Embrace the Funk. It's a conversation that goes into the evolution of extreme beers to nuanced, complex brews. As Jones has begun to note the shift of consumer preferences, he sees a move away from hazy IPAs towards more unique, experience-driven beers.He advocates for brewers to ask questions and learn from each other. As the industry involves, he shares insight into the brewery's cider program, which is inspired by European natural ciders.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.This Episode is Sponsored by:John I.
