When co-host Em Sauter was in Australia in 2019, she was exposed to the Pacific ale, a style of beer that was refreshing, sessionable, and something she was surprised was only limited to Australia. Five years later, Em is still surprised that this beer style (which has only grown in popularity in its native country) is still not really well known to people outside of Australia.She hopes this episode will help educate more people about this excellent beer style. On this episode Em and Don Tse chat with two Australians. First, Briony Liebich, who is an Australian beer educator and sensory professional about the flavors and aromas of this style. Then Caolan Vaughan, Head Brewer at Stone and Wood Brewing Co., who invented the beer style.This Episode is Sponsored by:Estrella GaliciaEstrella Galicia is an independent, family-owned brewery in northwest Spain, founded in 1906.Estrella Galicia Cerveza Especial is a world class lager, brewed using the finest Spanish malts, locally cultivated Galician hops and the best brewing practices, in a state-of-the-art facility in La Coruña .

For a time, all beer was made from foraged ingredients. Gruits were made from herbs and spices growing nearby and reflected the land around the home of the brewer. As hops skyrocketed in popularity and as standard, industrial lager took over the world, beer from interesting plants have been all but forgotten. Thankfully, there are breweries and beer lovers re-discovering the joys of beers made from foraged ingredients. Foraged beer offers culinary surprises, reflect terroir and paint a unique liquid portrait of the land from which they came.This Episode is Sponsored by:Estrella GaliciaEstrella Galicia is an independent, family-owned brewery in northwest Spain, founded in 1906.Estrella Galicia Cerveza Especial is a world class lager, brewed using the finest Spanish malts, locally cultivated Galician hops and the best brewing practices, in a state-of-the-art facility in La Coruña .

Either working for a distributor or working for a specific brewery, salespeople make sure beer shops carry their products, host events, and are the front line for many people's exposure to a beer's lineup.

Some people nerd out about beer in general. Others go wild for water profiles, hop varieties, or yeast strains, but in Don Tse's experience, not enough people are paying attention to malted barley. It's something he's been passionate about for a decade, and a topic he finally gets to explore in-depth in his first piece for Good Beer Hunting. In that Critical Drinking op-ed, titled “Fight the Power — How Craft Malt Is Central to Taking On Beer's Industrial Complex,” Don explains how the barley of today shouldn't be the barley of yesterday. Typical crops are bred to resist disease and blight every few years. But in North America, barley that's now widely planted has been around for three decades and is the main source of what's used for malt in beer recipes. Why? Well, it takes time, money, and a lot of buy-in to change a monoculture crop like barley. That change is finally coming, thanks to investments from researchers at Cornell University, breweries like Allagash, and other forward-thinking farmers ready to make malt craft again. In our conversation, you'll hear Don talk about why it took so long for him to pursue this passion project, why as a Canadian he's focused on American farmers, why he's so stoked on things like protein levels and output, and what sort of potential and future he sees in the North American barley industry. He doesn't expect people to be as nuts about the subject as he is. But he hopes that we'll all start to care, at least a little, to keep moving craft beer and our shared agricultural future looking bright.
Decoction mashing is a traditional method of stepping the water and grains through different temperature stops in brewing by taking a portion of the brew to a separate vessel, bringing it to a boil, then returning it to the main mash. It is laborious. And it is time consuming. But proponents of decoction mashing say it is worth the extra effort.

Biotransformation are flavor- and aroma-releasing reactions during brewery fermentation. Lately, there has been much discussion of biotransformation in hoppy beers like IPAs where bound thiols are released when yeast interacts with them. So hops provide not only bittering acids and flavorful oils, and yeast provides not only alcohol and esters, but the combination of yeast interacting with hop chemicals (and sometimes malt chemicals) produces new flavors. New research into biotransformation is causing brewers to reexamine how they use hops, how they choose malts and how they ferment.This Episode is Sponsored by:Estrella GaliciaEstrella Galicia is an independent, family-owned brewery in northwest Spain, founded in 1906.Estrella Galicia Cerveza Especial is a world class lager, brewed using the finest Spanish malts, locally cultivated Galician hops and the best brewing practices, in a state-of-the-art facility in La Coruña .

Craft beer's love affair with hoppy beers is lasts year round. So, it's easy to forget that hops are an agricultural product. Hops have a season. And that season is now. Each September, hops in America reach the peak of perfection and brewers across the land rub their hands together, not to smell the hops, but in anticipation of making fresh hop beers. Nothing showcases the aroma and flavor of hops like a fresh hop beer and since these beers have a short shelf life, now is the time to rush out and drink them all.This Episode is Sponsored by:Estrella GaliciaEstrella Galicia is an independent, family-owned brewery in northwest Spain, founded in 1906.Estrella Galicia Cerveza Especial is a world class lager, brewed using the finest Spanish malts, locally cultivated Galician hops and the best brewing practices, in a state-of-the-art facility in A Coruna.

In November 1975, the Anchor Brewing Co. released what it called, simply, “Our Special Ale.” The beer quickly became known by two other things on the label: a generic Christmas tree smack-dab in the center and the words, “Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.”Writing in All About Beer, Tom Acitelli notes that Anchor's seasonal in 1975 was the first from an American brewery since Prohibition, and marked the advent of the modern Christmas beer in the United States. After 1975, Anchor would regularly tweak both its Christmas ale recipe and label. Now in its 47th year, the beer is once again on shelves and on tap. Dane Volek, the head brewer of Anchor joins Em Sauter and Don Tse to talk about the history, brewery, and marketing of the beer. Forget the egg nog. Pour a glass and listen in.

On this episode of the All About Beer podcast hosts Em Sauter and Don Tse dive into the wonderful world of Kolsch. Kölsch takes its name from the Cologne (Köln in German) dialect, which is known as Kölsch. The beer is a pale yellow, soft, refreshing ale, sometimes brewed with a touch of wheat malt and usually lightly hopped. It can be quite sweet from the malt or perhaps a bit more bitter from the hops, depending on the brewer. At a glance, a glass of kölsch can easily be mistaken for a standard pilsner, and perhaps that's done on purpose in these modern times. Much like a pilsner, a typical kölsch is about 5 percent alcohol by volume in strength.The only beer protected by the European Union, kölsch lays claim to an “appellation controllée.” At the Kölsch Convention in 1986, 24 breweries in Cologne and nearby towns agreed that a beer could only be called a “kölsch” if it met the following criteria:1) Brewed in Cologne or the immediate area2) Top fermented3) Pale in color and clear4) Filtered5) Brewed between 11 and 14 degrees Plato (a brewer's measuring unit)6) Served in a 20-centiliter stange (a tall, narrow, straight-sided glass)For original articles or to read the vast archives or to check out All About Beer. follow us on Twitter @allaboutbeer and Instagram @allaboutbeer.

For a beer lover this is the most wonderful time of the year. The annual rollout of Oktoberfest beers marks autumn (or mid-summer as can be the case with seasonal creep) and the start of the world's largest party in Munich. While it's grand to put on the dirndls and lederhosen and hoist liters, the beer itself deserves a closer look. On this episode of the All About Beer Podcast hosts Em Sauter and Don Tse talk with Megan Parisi of Boston Beer, makers of Samuel Adams Octoberfest. The beer is a hugely popular seasonal for the brewery and is often the gateway for curious drinkers looking for a little international flavor.

There's an episode of The Simpsons, notes co-host Don Tse, where an alien says to pronounce its name correctly, it would have to pull out your tongue. "I think Kveik is like that," says Tse on saying the yeast strain out loud. The Norwegian farmhouse yeast seems to be everywhere these days after decades in obscurity from the larger world. Brewers of all sizes have embraced Kveik and all its strains to create ales and lagers of note and to embrace its hearty nature that results in fast fermentation times.On the third episode of the All About Beer Podcast Tse and co-host Em Sauter welcome two guests who have spent time mattping, examining, and brewing with Kveik. Lily Schulz is the head brewer at Right Proper Brewing in Washington, D.C. and Richard Priess is the director of Escarpment Labs and together they break down all there is to know and experience about this remarkable yeast.

Without yeast, beer wouldn't exist. Don Tse sits down to talk about the new opportunities yeast offers to the craft beer world.
Show notes from John Holl: "If you've been listening for long enough, now and again I'll ask for guest suggestions. Sometimes I get letters and usually those are good suggestions that lead to lively conversations. This is one of those shows. My friend Don Tse, the writer and pun aficionado, who has also been a guest on this show reached out recently to introduce Kolin Krokis. I'm glad he did. Kolin started out as a chemistry student who soon developed a fondness for beer and began a career in brewing that led to brewing school in Germany and a bevy of jobs, including a stint as the first full-time brewer at Brew Dog. He and his family has traveled the world doing various brewing jobs, picking up techniques from hands on experience along the way. He believes in no compromise and as you will hear that hasn't always made things easy, but he's a brewer with few regrets because of it. These days he is brewing at Rural Routes Brewing in Alberta, where they pride themselves on food pairings, full pours, and hospitality. This classically trained brewer has even learned to love and embrace a recipe that has become a fan favorite: a Piña Colada Milkshake IPA."This Episode is sponsored by:BriessBriess is the leading supplier of specialty malt to craft brewers. They offer the broadest product line in the industry, including a wide range of roasted malts that add flavor, color, and character to beer.

Notes from host John Holl:"A few weeks ago I headed down to Asheville, North Carolina for a few days to help out with photography on a new book I’ve been working on. I didn’t have a lot of time for social or other visits, but I made it a point to make my first stop in the state at Zebulon Artisan Ales. Mike Karnowski is the man in and behind the brewery, it’s a small haven he started after a career brewing for others, and that started out running a homebrewing shop. Here at the brewery he does things his way, but also with historical accuracy and reverence. Over the years he’s worked with beer historians to release period-accurate beers that really offer a snapshot in time and reveal long forgotten flavors and how beer has evolved. A few weeks ago on the show with Em Sauter and Don Tse we were talking about date coding beer styles, and that’s something Mike is doing. You’ll even had a chance to try them for yourself soon enough. We sat down at his taproom bar on a day when he’s usually closed. It was a brew day, and he’d already been at it for hours."This Episode is sponsored by: BriessBriess is the original craft maltster, and currently offers the broadest product line in the industry.

Later we channel Don’s love of beer as art, when we match styles of music with their perfect beer pairing. In this episode’s chat with Mama T things get a little heavy, so if you tuned in for the usual boner jokes, you might be in for a surprise! Josh, Jonathan and T have some ideas on how to solve the world’s problems and we get brainstorming. In the back half of the show we’ve got a special one to one with our co-hosts Josh and Jonathan. We hear all about their storied history of shared special occasions, the two held a shared release party for both of their first solo albums, and the two were married on the same day (although not to the same people or in the same place, it turns out). We also get the story behind Jonathan’s rap career as Ricca Razor Sharp and his podcast, Foothills Famous. Join us at the Wild Rose Taproom for 20oz of your own Have a question for Mama T?

"When you travel abroad and see imported beer, it's always American beer. Why is that?" This week's guest is Don Tse, beer writer and entrepreneur, owner of Craft Beer Imports and Far Out Exporters, and the man who has famously drank over 20,000 different beers. Today we're speaking with Don Tse, a former lawyer who's love for beer has taken him on a journey to tens of thousands of pints of beer, and a mission to take Canadian craft beer global. You're probably already familiar with Don's work here in Alberta, his company Craft Beer Imports is responsible for the famous Craft Beer Advent Calendars, which contains many beers that can't be tried anywhere else. The Advent Calendars have gained so much traction that Don is able to approach international brewers to create exclusive beers for the calendar and push the envelope on styles and taste. Great beer, like great art, can move you. Don explains that the principals of great art like composition and balance are all part of making great beer as well. He believes that all the best brewers are people who are passionate about some other art forms as well, and take that passion to their brewing. After all, with a beverage that is thousands of years old and still full of innovation, the beer makers who are willing to innovate and build flexibility into their business are the same ones setting themselves up for great luck in the craft beer world. letsmeetforabeer.com albertabeerfestivals.com Craft Beer Imports

Self-proclaimed beer geek Don Tse shares how he came to be known as The Don of Beer, another Canadian traveller shares their embarrassment anonymously as a canfessional, and we keep geeking out when Tami Miguens joins the podcast to talk robotics, AI, and Calgary's tech scene. Don Tse, better known as The Don of Beer, plans a Beastie Boys parody band with Josh and Jonathan, because these boys have to fight for their right to barley. Previously known as "Beers to You," Don's role as Calgary's beer guru lets him tell the story of Canadian beer, and he's got 20 years of beer geek-dom to back it up. His mission in telling the Canadian beer story doesn't stop with his trusty notebook though, as we learn that his beer import company famous for beer advent calendars will also be getting Canadian brews into the glasses of discerning beer drinkers across the world. This episode's canfessional, titled "This is why we can't have nice things" tells the story of a group of Canadian travellers whose antics left them shamed out of Southeast Asia. Our second guest this episode is Tami Miguens, co-owner of Calgary tech company Ripeda Consulting, and tech literacy education advocate. We discuss her volunteer work with Calgary high school robotics teams, which she explains is just one of many approaches to get kids comfortable with problem solving through code, preparing them for the jobs of tomorrow. The boys think back to one of their first exposures to robots: The Terminator, and Tammy assures them that the work she does with children is much more about project based learning and problem solving than it is about C-3PO and the T-1000.
