Podcast 35: A Strange Funk We're back with another guest this week! Nikki is in studio with us to discuss the craft beer industry and her experience with our Brewery of the Week - Strange Roots Experimental Ales. Nikki gives us a run down of her history in the industry. She was a bar manager for one of our favorite local restaurants, Mad Mex. She gave us some insight into how the craft selection was made and who she worked with to have on tap at her locations. With almost 20 years of food industry experience she has a few stories to tell. Nikki also works a couple days a week at Strange Roots currently. She was able to shed light on the shipping/purchasing of beer within PA, which is apparently a lot easier if you produce beer in the commonwealth. Beer #1 (Studio) - Ragnarok - Strange Roots (8.2% Wild Ale with Elderberries, Black Currants, Red Raspberries and Black Cherry juice) This one was a carry over from the days of Draai Laag and very much lends to the flavor. Wild fermentation makes this a very tart beer. Brown in color, lots of cherry/berry on the nose but not a lot of barrel flavor. Beer #1 (Jake) - Zing Pop - Strange Roots (9.1% American Wild Ale) Jake said think alcohol Sprite. Very carbonated and floral. We get into the beers Strange Roots makes and the theme here is experimentation and pushing the limits. Behemoth is a 20% barleywine which is crazy for a beer. Jake fires off some questions at Nikki about her favorite breweries and personal beer consumption. We hit on Dancing Gnome and Grist House for cool hang out spots and discuss a little bit about hours and demand. We took a hard right and discussed Ben Affleck's back tattoo. Google it. It's a train wreck. Hercules makes his presence known. Beer #2 (Studio) - Breakfast Superhighway - Platform/Hitchhiker collab (6.8% IPA with milk sugar, citrus zest and breakfast cereal) Nikki was not a fan of this one. It's very bready and fruity and the milk sugar is very present in this beer. From here we went over Platform and Hitchhiker and the experimental styles. We talk about adjuncts in beer, such as ginger, pop tarts, count chocula, etc. Jake dabs and then Alex accuses people of not being able to floss. Not the dance, but the dental care activity. Alex questions his youth because he didn't know what the floss dance was. Looping back to Strange Roots we talk a little about their business tactics and quality control. Nikki gave us her couple of favorite beers from Strange Roots - The Balloonist and Toucan Slam were her favorites. Beer #3 (Studio) - Double Disco - Funk Brewing (7.7% DIPA) A double version of their Silent Disco IPA. This one is hazy and hoppy. Dank and resinous tones but very crisp fruity finish. Nikki's Top 3 beer styles: Session IPAs, Stouts/Porters, Sours/Saisons/Wild ales. Jake gets back on his soapbox about how the brewery bubble is gonna burst, although he thinks Strange Roots is gonna stick around. Toward the end of the podcast, we go off topic and discuss tattoos and artwork. Beer #4 (Studio) - The Balloonist - Strange Roots (8.7% Sour Golden Ale with Orange Peel) Very carbonated. The orange peel lends to the sourness of the beer. Jake is excited about all the travel going on in the next few weeks. We stereotype the pacific northwest including bean boots, beanies and flannels. Nikki enlightens us about how the yeast in wild fermentation works. Hint: It's not an exact science but there is a lot of science involved. From there we get into the inner workings of determining alcohol content. Hydrometers and chromatography are the primary ways to measure ABV %. The debate on whether or not 100% accuracy really matters to the average beer drinker spawns out of this conversation. As we wrap up, we want to extend a huge thank you to Nikki for coming on and shooting the shit with us for an hour and a half. Look for our Christmas episode next week!

Join us as we catch up with an old friend, Dennis Hock, the eccentric Brewer, Owner & Steward of Strange Roots Experimental Ales out of Pittsburgh Pennsylvania. We discuss the reasoning behind the brewery’s sudden departure from the Draai Laag namesake, his vision of the past, present and future of beer and the general kookiness that accompanies a conversation with Dennis!
