Dr. Ron Beatson is the retired hop breeder who built a storied career at Plant & Food Research developing some of the most popular New Zealand hop varieties today, and Dr. Tom Shellhammer is the Oregon State University professor whose research into hop oils, hop terroir, hop-growing techniques, and more have made an indelible impact on the Pacific Northwest hop industry. Shellhammer is currently on a four-month sabbatical in New Zealand, studying the similarities and differences between U.S. and New Zealand hop practices, and presented at both the NZ Hops (https://nzhops.co.nz) Harfest event (with Dr. Ron Beatson) and on his own at the Freestyle Hops (https://www.freestylehops.com) Hāpi Symposium (https://hapi.co.nz). In this episode, we brought the two together to discuss: the hierarchy of impacts from genetics through terroir and agronomics differences in hops within a farm or area versus differences between areas the genesis of onion and garlic notes in hop aromas and flavors sources of inconsistency in a hop variety harvesting dynamics of Nelson Sauvin cover crops in hop fields to promote soil health multiple archetypes for hop varieties the source of “diesel” and “dank” notes in hops and the crossovers with cannabis thiol and terpene interactions in aroma formation over individual oil content impact from lack of disease in New Zealand hop fields soil and localized environmental impacts on New Zealand hop cultivation And more.

Homogeneity is the name of the game in certain circles of brewing—from massive brewers who standardize their hop lots by blending before pelletizing, or hop companies that blend lots to iron out highs and lows in a particular crop year. But for Garage Project (https://garageproject.co.nz) and Hapi Research (https://hapi.co.nz)'s Pete Gillespie, that search for the least offensive middle way removes the incentive for everyone to optimize for quality, expression, and individuality that's core to the idea of craft beer. In their brewing program, and in their partnership to pursue new hop varieties, character and unique experiences are the name of the game, and they're putting significant investment behind the pursuit. In this episode, Gillespie discusses: using supporting hops to accentuate lead hop characters the impact of pick time on hop expression variations within single field blocks of hop varieties the dynamic shift in Nelson Sauvin over the picking window terroir's impact on hop flavors and aromas exploring diverse growing areas for hops in New Zealand surprise impact in this year's hops like Southern Cross the inscrutable challenge and benefit of Riwaka Hāpi Research's investment in developing new NZ varieties secrets of selecting Southern hemisphere hops And more.

Earlier this week, our Industry All-Access (https://brewingindustryguide.com/subscription/) subscribers received in their email inbox this week's subscriber-exclusive article that Kate reported, parsing the latest industry economic data but reading beyond the surface for a deeper look at what's really going on. We've all read the hyperbolic clickbait articles out there about craft beer's demise, and for the first time in almost twenty years, we saw a net decline in operating breweries in the United States last year. But at the same time, we've been hearing anecdotally from a number of brewers such as Neil Fisher of WeldWerks, in episode 400, that they were growing despite the significant headwinds. This cognitive dissonance got us thinking about how data purport to tell certain truths, but that “truth” is limited by the nature of how data are collected. Craft beer in the United States is both big and small, but our primary sources of data address only the biggest channels of the craft-beer business, leading to distortions in perception that could potentially have damaging effects for craft beer as a whole. With that in mind, Kate sought out some answers to the questions we had—does this meta-narrative we've been reading have truth to it, does it accurately describe the reality that craft brewers are facing, do other data that suggest different or more varied truths, and what can we take away to build a fuller picture of the current state of craft beer?

From their tiny outpost in the ski town of Park City, Offset Bier (https://offsetbier.com) has turned Utah's challenges—such as a ban on serving draft beer higher than 5 percent ABV—into opportunities. Last year was a breakout one for the budding brewery—we named their session IPA Dopo one of our Best 20 Beers in 2024 (https://beerandbrewing.com/the-best-20-beers-in-2024), while another session IPA, Divi, won gold medal at Great American Beer Festival. Necessity is truly the mother of invention, and the constraints placed upon founder Conor Brown force creative problem solving, as he pulls from various corners of the brewing playbook—European lager and hefeweizen, British ale, and more—for processes and creative angles that drive flavorful, aroma-led hazy LIPAs, or “Lie-PAs.” In this episode, Brown covers: mash steps to promote foam-positive proteins and body in hazy IPAs made from 100 percent barley malt dialing in water chemistry with calcium targets, sodium, and sulfate more than chloride using chit malt in lieu of oats or wheat, and selecting low-FAN pilsner malt embracing small amounts of crystal malts managing DMS reduction at altitude the benefit of boiling hops with longer additions creating texture through hop choices such as American Nobles developing exacting pH targets at each stage of the brewing process And more.

Strong brewing communities produce clusters of great breweries, and the Colorado brewing world, centered in Denver, is no different. Friendly competition drives innovation, exploration, and refinement as well as knowledgeable consumers with higher and higher expectations, and in this episode, we brought together three friends (each medal-winning brewers) for a conversation on their approach to West coast IPA. Brian Hutchinson of Cannonball Creek (http://www.cannonballcreekbrewing.com) has brought home a slew of medals in the pale ale space (11 total GABF and World Beer Cup medals between their pale ale and session IPA), and picked up a GABF gold medal last year for their New Zealand-style IPA. Jake Gardner of Westbound & Down (https://westboundanddown.com) has earned a handful of GABF and World Beer Cup medals for their West coast IPAs like Spirit of the West and Westbound Select. And Phil Joyce of Amalgam (https://www.amalgambrewing.com) most recently brought home gold for West coast IPA in the Colorado Brewers Cup, after placing fourth at the Alpha King Challenge last year. In this episode, the three move through a range of IPA brewing topics, including: designing IPA with clean flavors that are easy to linguistically identify decocting and step mashing WCIPA for higher attenuation, foam stability, and FAN uptake building a malt base in WCIPA with blends of Pilsner malt using flaked wheat in smaller percentages for mouthfeel fermenting with Chico yeast for dry and low-ester beers minimizing hop creep with ALDC, diacetyl-free yeast, and other yeast health tools driving faster and healthier fermentations for more vibrant hop character understand the impact of water on WCIPA integrating flavor and bitterness the impact of pH on hop expression selecting loud hops that punch hard And more.

In our latest issue, Louisville's Atrium Brewing (https://www.atriumbrewing.com) scored a category-leading 98 for their barrel-aged stout Denny-Lou, Blend 1, and that was as good a reason as any to check in with cofounder Mark Rubenstein and head brewer Spencer Guy for some background on brewing stouts. Their proximity to some of the best distillers in the Western hemisphere informs their approach to both aging and blending, and they take the same iterative approach to building flavor in more ingredient-laden beers. In this episode, they touch on: brewing flavored imperial stout as well as barrel-aged stout using a reiterated mash in lieu of longer boils for higher starting gravity building lower color stout with very low bitterness to let coffee shine balancing sweetness with tannins in barrel-aged stout blending with multiple stout threads the impacts of brandy and bourbon barrels kettle souring with a hazy IPA grain bill using probiotic beverages for kettle souring adjusting acids in the brite tank for proper fruit expression choosing fruit formats for clarity and quality spinning tanks then bench testing between each ingredient addition to confirm quantities with sensory constructing fruit blends and highlighting with yogurt This episode is brought to you by: G&D Chillers (https://gdchillers.com): G&D Chillers Elite 290 Micro-series line utilizes a natural refrigerant, features a more compact design with variable speed fans, and offers near-zero global warming potential.

In this podcast, we spoke with Margherita Neri, Director of Vector Process Development, Milan Site at AGC Biologics, Andrew Laskowski, Global Product Manager Bioreactors at Cytiva and Andreia Pedregal, Upstream Applications Specialist Manager at Cytiva about large-scale viral vector manufacturing. Our conversation included discussions around scalability, AAV (adeno-associated virus) and lentivirus production platforms, adherent culture, and next generation bioreactor improvements. I began the interview by asking Margherita about her work at AGC Biologics. She explained that as the Director of the Vector Process Development Unit, her team is responsible for process development of large scale viral vector production for gene therapy applications. Her team is also the first point of contact for new clients. Next, we talked about the types of viral vector platforms that AGC Biologics operates. Margherita described that at their Milan site, they offer AAV (adeno associated virus) and lentiviral vector production platforms in adhesion and in suspension, at 50-to-200-liter scale with expansion planned for up to 1,000 liters. I then asked her about some of the differences between adherent cell culture and suspension cell culture paths to commercial manufacturing. Margherita said that the first consideration is that most clinical trials in gene therapy have been sustained with vector produced from adherent cells, typically via processes performed using Cell Factory™ or Cell STACK®. Now that those gene therapy products are being commercialized, manufacturers need to increase scale and demonstrate comparability using a minimal comparability exercise. So, systems that allow adherent scale up are very useful in this process. Suspension processes are appealing from a scalability point of view because historically they were used for traditional protein bioproductions which can be scaled up to 20,000 – 30,000 liters. Of course, this scale still needs to be demonstrated for vector production that is performed mainly using transient transfection at 200-500 liter scale for lentivirus and between 500-to-1,000-liter maximum scale for AAV. Margherita went on to say that another important aspect in comparability between adherent and suspension systems is quality of the vector in terms of impurity profiles. She said that with adherent processes, cells are attached to the growth support, and the levels of host cell protein and cell DNA are lower when compared to suspension processes. This is very important for lentiviral vector production that is used in vivo where the requirements for impurity levels are very challenging, especially considering that for lentiviral vectors there is currently no affinity step for purification. I followed up by asking her how AGC Biologics can help customers that want to stay in adherent culture to scale up from current processes, for instance, from flatware to larger-scale production. She explained that when customers ask for a scale increase, they usually offer the iCELLis™ platform. First, they demonstrate at small scale the feasibility of the transition from flatware to the iCELLis bioreactor using the iCELLis Nano bioreactor. Using the iCELLis Nano bioreactor, AGC Biologics has developed a full upstream and downstream process that is highly representative of their process using the full-scale iCELLis bioreactor. AGC Biologics can then propose that customers use the vector produced in the iCELLis scale-down model to perform a comparability study between a clinical vector and the future commercial or large-scale vector. This comparability should be based not only on the comparison of titers, residuals, and all the CQA, but also AGC Biologics suggests performing a test of cell transduction on the target cells (i.e. CD34 or T cells) and evaluation on these cells of transfection efficiency – vector copy number, residuals and functionality. I followed up by asking Margherita about whether the iCEL...

In this podcast, we spoke with Dr. Brad Taylor from Nucleus Biologics and Randy Jacinto from Cytiva about the benefits of using a custom media for cell and gene therapy process development. Topics included current development challenges, increases in the number of cell and gene therapies in clinical trials, and employing custom cell culture media solutions to address these issues. We started the discussion by talking about the most pressing challenges facing cell and gene therapy development. Randy began by explaining that the most pressing challenges are the cost of manufacturing, lower than expected adoption rates, and complex logistics around supply chain. At Cytiva, he shared that they are addressing these challenges by automating many parts of the workflow and simplifying the logistics. In addition, the recent partnership with Nucleus Biologics will allow customers easy access to cell culture media solutions that can help accelerate the development of these cell therapies. Brad added that he also hears from customers that there is difficulty accessing consistent, reliable products and materials in single source situations. Companies are working with suppliers who guard their materials with trade secrets and this hinders the ability for that therapy to progress to the clinic. He went on to say that the scalability of cell therapies is also an issue, particularly as the industry moves into allogeneic therapies where manufacturing requires larger scale processes. He stressed that at Nucleus and in conjunction with Cytiva, they are committed to making sure that customers have a consistent supply of reagents and cell culture media to help them meet the rigorous quality standards. Next, I asked about what potential issues will arise with the large increase in cell and gene therapies in clinical trials, and the forecasted further increase over the next five years. Brad said that the regulatory approvals of cell therapies is really accelerating globally. Scaling processes for allogeneic therapies certainly lends itself to custom development and custom process development. So, it is important to not be locked into one size fits all type models. Nucleus wants to make sure that developers of these complex therapies can derisk their processes. Developers want to be able to accentuate desired attributes of their cell therapies and reduce those that are not desirable and cell culture media can have a profound impact in this area. He went on to describe a collaboration with the University of Pennsylvania, where Nucleus demonstrated that individual components can help expedite therapies and improve outcomes. In those publications, authors were able to show an increase in in vivo efficacy, cytotoxicity, and transduction efficiency by changing the cell culture media components for CAR T cells. Randy added that in addition to the scalability challenges, another primary challenge around cell therapies is the labor cost. Cytiva has estimated that labor costs contribute close to 48% of the total manufacturing costs of the drug therapy. To address these labor costs, Cytiva is working through automation as well as digitalization of the workflow and this will help overall improve the scalability and reduce costs. In addition, Cytiva is working with Nucleus Biologics because they truly believe that custom media is a key component in improving the overall efficacy of that drug therapy. Next, I asked about the focus of the Cytiva and Nucleus Biologics collaboration agreement and what they hoped to achieve together. Randy explained that it could not be a better partnership because the companies share a common vision of advancing novel therapeutics like cell therapies, which they believe will have a true transformative impact on the healthcare landscape. He went on to say that the challenge has been with science workflows advancing much faster than the actual process of manufacturing itself.
