For Jaron Anderson of Helper Beer, listening to the beer itself, rather than following prescribed rules, is the only way to improve it. He's well-versed in the theory, but not a slavish adherent to dogma—what matters is the beer itself, and how it tastes, so any technique or ingredient that gets you there is worth considering. In 2025, he won GABF gold in the competitive German-style pils category, yet his pils was produced in a way that some would fine unconventional—single infusion mash, lack of mid- and late-kettle hops, two hour boil, heavy cool-pool hop charge—but for Anderson, it's not good enough to make a good beer using safe techniques. The goal is to make great beer, using every tool at his disposal. In this episode, Anderson discusses: stripping adjuncts out of light lager to reduce perception of acetaldehyde long 2+ hour boils to drive off DMS making characterful helles and pils without decoction using local water with high hardness to give structure to malt building character in lager with domestic and European malt hop use and selection in German-style pils the quirks of brewing with the Andechs strain And more.

It is without a doubt the Grand Poobah for out of market IPAs, Russian Rivers Pliny the Elder is like a mark of honor at San Diego watering holes. Due to their strict policies on how their beer should be handeld, you'll only find it on tap in places that have high standards of excellence in their beers and O'Brien's is one of those spots! In fact outside of their Tion weekend its one of the few spots in town where you can almost all the time find it on tap.

Around October 2025, I came up with an idea for our 2026 Trub Club recipe kits (https://www.patreon.com/bePatron?u=21132635). My plan – to feature clone recipe kits of our country’s most popular and longstanding craft beer AND I wanted to interview the brewmaster each month to learn more about the history of their brewery and the beer that made them so popular. Think about it! How cool is it to chat with brewmasters that are responsible for beer that have pioneered and shaped craft beer as we know it? With all of that being said, I am so thrilled that we’re starting off 2026 VERY strong by featuring a Texas OG: Shiner Bock. Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’ve certainly heard about and likely have consumed your fair share of Shiner Bock. I was so excited when their brewmaster, Greg Hybner, replied to my email and agreed to come on the show. Not only did we have a great conversation for the podcast, he was also an exceptional host and gave me a true VIP tour of the campus. I can’t say enough nice things about Greg and the beer speaks for itself so make sure you grab yourself a six pack or even a case sometime soon.With all of that being said, I hope you’re ready because it’s officially time for the Homebrew Happy Hour podcast!… THE home brew #podcast where we answer all of your home brewing questions and discuss anything related to craft beer!

O'Brien's Tion Weekend approaches and while it hightlights Russian River's "Tion" beers, the brewery also has a wide range of styles outside of their speciality Belgians. Today I get to try my first Russian River Hazy IPA and from what I already know about the brewrey it 100% lives up to expectations

Omnipollo continues their ongoing series where they take a bunch of different breweries and come up with a beer. Then each brewery brews their version of that beer. It's a fun way to see how you can take the same beer and it's slightly interepreted by differently. It makes brewing feel more like jazz. Three Times Three Vol 7 is an 8% DIPA with yummy tropical notes. Spanish brewer Soma has been making some great IPA's recently. Mantra is a 6% IPA made with krush, citra and kohatu hops. #beer #craftbeer #drinks #dipa #ipa

Kicking off the 32nd Anniversary for O'Brien's their Tion Weekend is upon us! Celebrating one of the more storied Califronia breweries Russian River makes a wide variety of well known hoppy beers as well as Belgian inspiried styles all bearing a name ending in "Tion." We'll get into one of the more rare beers on tap today with Beatification that is naturally fermented from their "Cool Ship" in Windsor.

Hops have dominated the beer conversation for decades. Modern beer culture has been built on the back of their vast trellises, the majority of which today stand in Yakima, in the Pacific Northwest of the United States. Many North American hops, including Cascade, Centennial and Simcoe, could arguably be called legacy varieties, such has been the length and size of their impact on the beer industry. Even Citra, which was first commercially released in 2007 and is now the most cultivated hop variety in the world, is approaching 20 years of production. Without them, the beer we know and love today would smell and taste very differently indeed.But as much as these hops have shaped beer as we know it, there has been no rest for hop merchants, or indeed the brewers who use their products day in, day out. There is a constant demand for new varieties offering up new flavours and aromas. This demand comes in part from drinkers, and indeed brewers themselves, but largely this constant development of new hop varieties—which can take up to a decade, sometimes more—is driven by the hop industry itself.Think about it—every year sees billions of pounds worth of hops harvested across the hop growing regions of the word, encompassing hundreds, if not thousands of different varieties. Hop merchants are not only seeking that x-factor in terms of flavour, but they're also looking for agronomic viability, and, indeed, strong profit margins. Hops can be notoriously difficult to grow, so while breeders are trying to figure out what's going to make a new variety taste great, they're also looking at other qualities like disease resistance, how much water input a variety needs to survive in a changing climate, and so on.Krush—which until recently was known under its development name: HBC586—is a great example of this. In terms of its flavour and aroma it's a riot of ripe mango, juicy peach and sun-ripened orange, but in terms of its agronomics it also requires less inputs than older varieties, making it more economical and more sustainable to produce.If the sound of this has got your interest piqued, then you're going to love our latest podcast. Recorded live at FyneFest 2025, in this episode Matthew chats to Robbie Harrigan, a UK-based sales representative for Yakima Chief Hops, plus Mark Cotterill of Beak Brewery in Lewes, and Brett Pemberton of Manchester's Pomona Island. Together we chat about some exciting new hop varieties, including Krush, and taste the exciting results alongside a live audience. We're able to produce The Pellicle Podcast directly thanks to our Patreon subscribers, and our sponsors Get ‘Er Brewed.

BONUS BEER! They couldn't help themselves, after wrappign with Treevana our friends from Burgeon Beer decided to crack open a bonus beer after the Rebelution started playing. Lagoon View gives us a great counterpoint to the Campsite IPA we tried earlier in the week. Beefing up the body and ABV allows the brewers to venture off into the world of new hop products to give you that consistent Burgeon thumbprint of huge flavor up front with a clean finish.

Tomorrow is the big Burgeon 9th Anniversary party so we wrap the week with one of their flagship beers, Treevana IPA. Big flavor, bright citrus aroma and some where between old school and new school bitterness...it's no surprise why this is Melody's favorite beer of all time.

Send us a textWith the UDRIS meteor shower lighting up the night and Atlas supposedly still holding the sky together, Mike & Blaine ask the big, dumb questions that actually matter. How much of what we're seeing is real, and how much is just our brains trying to explain chaos with comforting stories and myths?The conversation moves from space junk and modern astronomy to ancient sky legends, then lands somewhere very familiar to business and leadership. When uncertainty hits — suddenly, loudly, and without warning — people default to narratives like “this will pass,” “we've seen this before,” or “someone else has it handled.” Sound familiar?Mike & Blaine explore how unexpected events, whether meteors in the sky or shocks in the market, force better thinking if you're willing to slow down. We talk signal vs noise, why timing always feels personal when stress is high, and why Atlas is the perfect metaphor for leadership, responsibility, and the pressure of not dropping the ball.Part cosmic curiosity, part philosophical wandering, and part practical reminder: clarity doesn't come from panic. Whether you're staring at the night sky or a dashboard full of metrics, the real skill isn't predicting the meteor — it's knowing how to think when it shows up. Spoiler: we're still not sure if Atlas shrugged… or sneezed.Head over to mikeandblaine.com and buy us a beer.

Send us a textWhy is whisky suddenly everywhere again?In this episode, we explore the surprising resurgence of both Scotch and bourbon — and why new distilleries are opening, bottles are becoming collectibles, and whisky culture feels more relevant than it has in decades.We break down how Scotch whisky has quietly entered a new golden era in Scotland, fueled by premiumization, global demand, experiential tourism, and a return to craftsmanship and patience. At the same time, we look at how bourbon exploded in popularity through American craft culture, cocktail revivals, limited releases, and hype-driven scarcity — and why that rapid growth is now entering a more mature phase.This isn't just a story about alcohol. It's a story about brand building, timing, culture, and business models. Scotch shows the power of slow compounding value, geographic protection, and long-term thinking. Bourbon shows what happens when authenticity, personality, and hype collide — and what businesses can learn when growth happens faster than patience.Whether you're a business owner, brand builder, or just someone fascinated by why certain products come roaring back into the spotlight, this conversation connects whisky's revival to broader lessons about craftsmanship, differentiation, and building something that lasts.

We're not quite in the dead of winter, but it feels like it – at least from the home office – so I wanted to think about warmer weather, growth, life, and green. So I'm excited to have Darren Gamache of Virgil Gamache Farms in Washington's Yakima Valley here on the show. We talk about 2025 hops, what 2026 might bring, and the farm's hop water – which could be a good fit for your drinking even if you're not doing Dry January.
