Podcasts about craft beer

Saison has come to be defined by just the handful of commercial brewers who make it.  But historically, “saison” was an umbrella term covering a broad spectrum of flavors. Modern brewers are now discovering ways to drive different aspects of the yeast that is the hallmark of saison.Ironically, its thinking about water, grains and hops driving these yeast flavors. But speaking of yeast, while “a Belgian saison strain” is a common phrase, in fact, Brettanomyces is often key in making the style.Far from being a singular style, saison offers both drinkers and brewers a menagerie of possibilities.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:HopsteinerLet's talk brewhouse efficiency: Replacing pellet loads with Salvo cannot only boost aroma density, but reduce trub load and increase beer wart.

Männerabend Special – Brazilian International Beer Awards! Dennis welcomes Anna Bettu (BBA International Technical Coordinator) and Matthias Kopp (International Beer Judge & Beer Sommelier) as guests on the podcast. We start the podcast with some words from Develon da Rocha, Founder & CEO of BBA and BBA Zero. As a brewer and maltster as well as co-founder of the German Beer Academy, Anna brings many years of international experience to the discussion. Together, they talk about the Brazilian International Beer Award and this year's inaugural “BBA Zero”, the world's first beer competition dedicated exclusively to non-alcoholic beers. Breweries can still register their beers for the competition until October 1 (September 30 for BBA Zero). What has made the BBA one of the fastest-growing international beer competitions in Latin America? What are the benefits of participating for breweries? Why is an internationally diverse judging panel such a major advantage And in which categories are the beers evaluated? We answer all these questions (and many more), share practical tips for the registration process, and walk you through the timeline leading up to the award ceremony.

It's no secret we love lambics. When we found that 3F did two collaborations with two of our favorite American brewers, we had to try them. This might come as a shock, but we loved them. First we tried the Side Project Panache. This is a 6% lambic blend of Fermier 2024 with a 2020 Oude Lambik. The result is a funky, tart delicious treat. Next is De Garde Meer & More. It comes in at 9% ABV and blends a spontaneous wild ale with a lambic blend with Mourvedre grapes. Then it's aged on oak barrels for 2 to 7 years. If you can get your hands on this one, you're in for something special. We hope 3F does more of these collaboration in the future if they stay this amazing. #beer #craftbeer #drinks #lambic #saison #wildale

Was that a threat? Jim from Home Brew Mart offered to reveal trade secrets of how this beer is made, but it comes at a price. To learn more about this beer, I may find myself Sleeping With The Fishes.

LupoMAX® was engineered to deliver concentrated lupulin, intense aroma expression, and reduced process loss, helping breweries improve yields while maintaining true-to-type hop character. Available in standout varieties like Citra®, Mosaic®, Krush®, and more, LupoMAX gives brewers a smarter path to bold flavor and operational efficiency.

The enzyme converts the precursors in barley to free thiols that smell and taste like passionfruit and grapefruit. It's super clean. No off-flavors like burnt rubber or other sulfurous notes. Just tropical aromatics. You don't have to do anything unusual either, like mash hopping. Just pitch dry Tropics and supercharge your hazy IPA.All About BeerAt All About Beer, we're honored to share the stories that define the beer community, and we couldn't do it without the generous support of our underwriting sponsors.

In this bonus episode of the All About Beer Podcast, Chris Meadows, Head of Brewery Operations at Peaceful Side Brewery in Maryville, Tennessee, shares how Hopsteiner's advanced hop products helped the brewery reformulate two flagship beers while achieving improvements in cost, yield, shelf stability, and flavor.IPA's are a double edge sword for most breweries. IPA's sell the most but are often more expensive to make and distribute sustainably. By tweaking a few key ingredients, Peaceful Side Brewing was able to reduce production cost and routinely gain an additional 1.5 to 2 barrels of finished beer from each production run.By adding Salvo® and SalvoPlus® the American IPA's dry-hop load fell from approximately 60 pounds into the 40-pound range. With less vegetative material entering the brewery, Peaceful Side experiences smaller trub loads, improved wort and beer recovery, easier cleaning, faster transfers and less water used for rinsing.Most importantly, the beer has improved. In blind internal tastings, participants consistently preferred the reformulated versions. The American IPA gained a clearer grapefruit-and-citrus direction, more balanced bitterness and a cleaner finish without the lingering astringency of the previous recipe.Meadows also credits the reduced hop load and shorter tank exposure with slowing oxidation and keeping the beers tasting fresher for longer.“Consumer response has been overwhelmingly positive, and sales have increased—even though Peaceful Side never promoted the recipe changes to the general public,” says Meadows.Visit AllAboutBeer.com for more podcasts, to read original articles, and to get info on upcoming events.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.

Host Mike sits down with Jeremy Schultz (owner) and Matt Bolden (head brewer) of 1852 Brew Co. in Visalia to tell the story of their ‘‘footy & brews'' concept: indoor soccer fields paired with a family-friendly taproom and a locally rooted brewery. They talk brand origin, community-first design, and how soccer shaped the DNA of the business. Matt shares his path from homebrewer to head brewer, the brewery's pilot system and brewing philosophy, and highlights core beers like the West Coast "Unite & Strengthen," Breakaway Blonde, the Bumpy Pitch pale ale and the red ale "Never Walk Alone." Jeremy and Matt discuss consistency vs. creativity, self-distribution, local food-truck partnerships and signature projects like the Todos Juntos/Unity on Tap fundraiser beer that funnels proceeds to local nonprofits. Episode takeaways: the importance of team and community, how a niche experience (soccer + beer) creates reliable foot traffic, the work behind the taproom and brew house, and the founders' growth and franchising ambitions. Expect warm storytelling, brewing details, and practical insights for anyone building a local hospitality brand.

TWO BEERS for a Friday. Never the Master Triple Dry Hopped Hazy and Always the Student Double Dry Hopped West Coast IPA, two beers that share the same hops but do not share the same drinking experience. Kelsey from North Park Beer Co breaks down what makes these two similar beers, so different.

With 19 Great American Beer Festival and World Beer Cup medals, an Alpha King win, and nine beers scored 95-plus by Craft Beer & Brewing—including two in our upcoming Fall issue—Sunriver has become a medal-winning powerhouse of a production brewery and brewpub. But while their hop-forward offerings get much of the attention—and a fair amount of time in this podcast episode—they're equally adept at brewing beers with left-field culinary ingredients. The throughline? Palates they're constantly training and challenging, and a sense for quality of flavor, refinement, and integration. In this episode, head brewer Patrick Raasch discusses: differentiating between American and West Coast IPA blending pils and two-row malts in IPA using lager yeast to lean into sulfur with more pungent hops brewing their Alpha King–winning double IPA with 34/70 yeast bittering with Mosaic CO2 extract dry hopping under pressure at cooler temperatures competition bottling for minimal oxygen ingress taking IPA from great to medal-winning integrating hops in barrel-aged American barleywine brewing “garden party” rice lager with Japanese cucumber, yuzu, and basil And more.

By understanding the way water chemistry impacts the sensory quality of finished beer, and by analyzing fermentation and other data, brewers can control sensory aspects of their product like never before. Sennos put together a free eBook that breaks down water chemistry fundamentals every brewer should know — no fluff, just the fundamentals. Download Water Chemistry for Brewers at sennos.comBerkeley YeastOur Tropics yeast is based on a London Ale strain, but we added a new gene to its genome that codes for a unique thiol-releasing enzyme. The enzyme converts the precursors in barley to free thiols that smell and taste like passionfruit and grapefruit. It's super clean. No off-flavors like burnt rubber or other sulfurous notes. Just tropical aromatics. You don't have to do anything unusual either, like mash hopping. Just pitch dry Tropics and supercharge your hazy IPA.Malteurop Malting CompanyMalteurop Malting Company (MMC) is based in North America—specializing in growing and producing quality malts for the craft beer and distilling industries.

This is a somber episode as we celebrate the life of Alan Sprints, the founder of Hair of the Dog brewery who died last weekend at age 66. The cause was bladder cancer.His family posted the following obituary: Alan was born on September 7, 1959, in Culver City, California, to the late Lila Entis and Martin Sprints. In 1988, following his passion for the culinary arts, Alan relocated to Portland, Oregon, to attend the Western Culinary Institute. After honing his craft for several years in the food and beverage industry, Alan took a bold leap in 1993 by founding the Hair of the Dog Brewing Company. Over the next three decades, he built a legendary business celebrated by beer enthusiasts worldwide. Alan was a true pioneer in the American craft brewing movement, introducing an old-world approach to beer making and creating uniquely complex, barrel-aged, and high-gravity beers that challenged and redefined the industry.Beyond the brewery, Alan was a man of diverse talents and boundless curiosity. He was an avid gardener, a skilled stained-glass artist, a ceramicist, and a tinkerer extraordinaire who found joy in creating things with his hands and nurturing the world around him.Alan's greatest devotion was to his family. He is survived by his beloved wife of 36 years, Eliana Temkin, and their three sons, Elijah, Isaac, and Gabriel Sprints. He also leaves behind his sister, Wendy Sprints (Dan Kaempff); sister-in-law, Dina Temkin (Dominic Green); in-laws Dvora Temkin and Howard Temkin, aunt and uncle, Judie and Michael Rickus; step-mother, Madeline Sprints as well as a close-knit circle of nieces, cousins, extended family, and lifelong friends.The family will hold a private burial service, with a public celebration of life to be planned in the near future. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Alan's memory to New Avenues for Youth, an organization close to his heart.To remember Alan, host John Holl is joined by Lisa Morrison, the publican of Belmont Station and Jeff Alworth, the writer, author, and host of All About Beer's One Iconic Beer podcast. 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:All About BeerAt All About Beer, we're honored to share the stories that define the beer community, and we couldn't do it without the generous support of our underwriting sponsors.

In 1993, Deb and Dan Carey released Wisconsin Belgian Red, the third beer they made at their new Wisconsin brewery, New Glarus. It was one of the country's first “sour” ales, and it created quite a stir, and not just because it was so unusual. The Careys weren't on a momentary flight of fancy. Rather, Dan Carey, the brewer, had been experimenting with wild ales for six years, and they intended Wisconsin Belgian Red to be a key part of their portfolio. Thirty three years later, it still is. On this episode, we're going to hear from Jeff Sparrow and Dan Carey about how these old, almost extinct methods jumped the ocean to the United States to become an enduring part of craft brewing. No beer was more critical in developing interest in wild ales than New Glarus Wisconsin Belgian Red, and this is its story.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.
