There are some raw materials in the brewing world that are the butt of jokes or customers claim they don't like them because they have heard bad or false things about them. Two brewing ingredients come to mind: Sabro hops, which were released in 2018 and crystal malt, which is used in many styles from English bitters to American amber ales. But are these ingredients really so bad? On the All About Beer podcast today we talk to four guests who will help us demystify these misunderstood members of the brewing world and find out if people's ire is really justified or perhaps we should be looking at Sabro and crystal malt with fresh eyes.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.

Gus Clemens on Wine explores and explains the world of wine in simple, humorous, fun posts
Right now, many in the wine world are freaked about the decline in wine drinking. Advice: relax, take a deep, cleansing breath. A nice, chilled rosé also might help. Wine is a lifestyle choice. By their very nature, lifestyle choices are always in chaotic, often irrational flux. Examples from the wine world:• Merlot was a big thing at the end of the last century. Women in particular enjoyed it because it usually was softer and smoother than cabernet sauvignon or syrah or some of those bombastic wines from northwestern Italy you could not drink until they were at least six years (and preferably 10-15 years) old. California winemakers made merlot you could drink when you got home from the store. The market lapped it up. Then the movie Sideways. Miles Raymond (Paul Giamatti) proclaimed: “I am NOT drinking any f**king Merlot!” It did not matter Miles hated merlot only because his ex-wife liked merlot, not for any fault in the varietal. Suddenly, a plot point in a popular movie involved bashing merlot. Merlot sales plummeted. Drinkers made new lifestyle choices. Merlot did not change. It remains one of the world's great varietals and blending wines. But, still, “I ain't drinking *** merlot!” became a meme.AI generated illustration• Blousy, oaky, buttery, big fruit chardonnays were a big thing in late 1980s and 1990s. They didn't go very well with food—okay, they worked with movie theatre popcorn—but ladies, in particular, were not pairing it with food. They were sipping it in the country club's outdoor bar after a round of golf or a tennis match or by-the-glass at a big chain restaurant where wine-food pairing was irrelevant. Big chardonnay was the wine equivalent of comfort food. It was a transition from sweet wines, soft drinks, or cocktails. Lush, approachable, ripe fruit, vanilla, butterscotch, creamy mouthfeel. What was not to like? Then those drinker's palates matured, or maybe it was just time for a lifestyle change. At the turn of the century, ABC (Anything But Chardonnay) became the next bandwagon to hop onto. White zin, pinot grigio, Veuve Clicquot, prosecco, sauv blanc, even dry riesling (for gosh sakes) was the next de rigueur pour for the dialed-in parvenu. “Anything But Chardonnay” was the incantation—unless it was an un-oaked, subdued malolactic conversion chardonnay, then… well, maybe.AI generated illustration• In the 1980s and especially the 1990s, monster, jammy, very high alcohol, zinfandel fruit bombs became a big thing, especially among manly men. Let the ladies sip insipid white zin, some gals even put ice cubes in their tumbler glass (shudder). Big zin was hedonistic macho indulgence. The 16-plus percent ABV and the overly-ripe fruit meant the wine tasted sweet even if laboratory tests proved it was “dry.” The high alcohol made it more a “cocktail wine” than anything a reasonable person would pair with food. Except, maybe, with a huge slab of fat-dripping beef you just removed from your expensive backyard grill fired by mesquite wood you harvested yourself with your high-powered chainsaw. Throw in a plate of fried onion rings and a loaded baked potato, and we've got a real meal here, buddy. A hearty slap on the back and backward ball cap is optional. Okay, some research indicates there is only marginal male preference between male and female in this wine category, but the zeitgeist then (and now) was big zin was male while lighter, “more feminine” (whatever that is supposed to mean) wine was female. In any event, the stereotypes and lifestyle choices did not hold in the 21st century. With blowback from wine professionals such as sommeliers, whose job is to pair with food, and wine writers, whose job is to constantly come up with something new in 500 words or less, zin today is stylistically fragmented. Lighter and more food-friendly red zin occupies a growing middle ground, flanked by white zin (which still outsells red zin) and monster zin. The wine world carousel continues to spin.AI generated illustration Lifestyle choices regarding wine and alcohol in general experience constant fluctuation. In the 2010s, for instance, some Gallup Polls suggested wine was approaching beer as the alcohol delivery vehicle of choice. What heady days those were for vintners and for bank vice presidents ready to loan money to create new vineyards and expand or create new wine operations. Then the 2020s slapped them both in the face with the reality of lifestyle changes. Not only has wine consumption declined, a new cohort of consumers has made a lifestyle choice to drink little or no alcohol. Medical sources assert any alcohol consumption can be bad for you. Neo-prohibitionists channel Carry Nation. While Neo-prohibitionists have not yet taken hatchets to saloons or wine barrels, they do clamor for increases in alcohol excise taxes, limit times and places alcohol can be sold, restrict advertising, and lowering the legal blood-alcohol-content. The wine world faces several headwinds. That noted, wine has been around for more than 8,000 years and is deeply imbedded in our culture, our religions, our culinary proclivities. Wine is not going away. In the U.S., the total wine industry—production, distribution, sales, consumption, tourism, and service industries—generates some $324 billion annually in economic impact and is increasing in spite of the headwinds. U.S. wine generates 1.75 million jobs and $102 billion in wages. Wine delivers more than $53 billion in tax revenue. These numbers have been resilient, even rising, amid the slight downturn in wine consumption in the U.S. in the 2020s. We are drinking less, but we are drinking better and more expensive. If you have read this far, I hope your fears of wine's collapse are allayed and you are relieved. Lifestyle choices, by their very nature, constantly change. Sit back and chill out with a nice glass of wine of your current choice, good food, and—especially—sharing with family and friends. That lifestyle moment is immutable.Last roundRelationships are like Indian food.They start out hot and spicy, but end up with someone on the toilet crying and saying “why me? why me”?Wine time.Bonus last roundPolice officer pulls over a speeding car.Officer: “I clocked you at 80 miles per hour, sir.”Driver: “Gee, officer, I had it on cruise control at 60. Perhaps your radar gun needs calibrating.” Not looking up from her knitting, driver's wife says: “Now don't be silly, dear. You know this car does not have cruise control.”As the officer writes out the ticket, the driver looks over at his wife and growls: “Can't you please keep your mouth shut for once?” Wife smiles demurely and says: “Well, dear, you should be thankful your radar detector went off when it did or your speed would have been higher.”As the officer makes out the second ticket for the illegal radar detector, the man glowers at his wife and says through clenched teeth: “Woman, can't you keep your mouth shut?”The officer frowns and says: “And I notice that you are not wearing your seat belt, sir. That's an automatic $75 fine.” Driver: “Well, you see, officer, I had it on, but I took it off when you pulled me over so that I could get my license out of my back pocket.” Wife: “Now, dear, you know very well you never wear your seat belt when you are driving.”As the police officer is writing out the third ticket, the driver turns to his wife and barks: “Will you just shut up!” Officer looks over at the woman and asks: “Does your husband always talk to you this way, ma'am?” Wife: “Only when he has been drinking.”Wine time.Thanks for reading Gus Clemens on Wine!

How do you keep a 60-year-old wine brand growing—especially when it's already the biggest in America? You appeal to a new generation of wine drinkers.In this episode, we sit down with Britt West, Chief Commercial Officer at Gallo, to unpack the growth playbook behind Barefoot Wine, the country's #1 wine brand by dollar sales.When Gallo acquired Barefoot in 2005, it was a 600,000-case business. Today, it's more than 14 million cases and still expanding — bringing in an estimated 2.6 million new consumers to wine last year alone.Britt shares how Barefoot continues to unlock growth through smart innovation, consumer-driven formats, and bold marketing that meets people where they are. We discuss:The growth engine behind America's biggest wine brand: How Barefoot keeps growing year after year in a flat category.Consumer obsession as strategy: Why longtime winemaker Jen Wall's 30-year run is built on being “intellectually curious about consumers” — not just about wine.Format innovation that fuels recruitment: How Tetra packs, single serves, and flavored wines are attracting Gen Z and bringing new drinkers into the category.How Barefoot wins culture: From the NFL partnership to viral campaigns like the Bandwagon Box with Donna Kelce, Britt explains how Barefoot makes wine feel right at home in football season and pop culture.Branding lessons for every entrepreneur: Britt's advice for founders on why packaging is your silent salesperson — and why brand relevance beats perfection in the glass.The future of wine: Why Britt believes the current wine slowdown is cyclical, not structural — and how the industry can fight back for consumer attention (and dollars).For any drinks entrepreneur or marketer trying to understand how legacy brands stay fresh this episode is packed with takeaways on modern brand building.
1 Corinthians 3:1-15Pastor Matt Rogers
I keep hearing how the industry has to change, how Gen Z is aren't drinking wine, how the trade is slow to do anything....until you speak with Abby Bogle. She is the type of enthusiasm and drive that is needed to move with the times. You have all heard me say that "time will tell" and that "all generations come around to the proper glass of wine." What Abby is doing is making the proper glass of wine more accessible. Be careful, she is a bit infectious. Abby Bogle is not your average disruptor—she's bottling up tradition, cracking open innovation, and pouring new life into the wine industry one mini-bottle at a time. You'll discover how Abby moved from the heart of Texas wine country to leading a revolution in single-serve wine formats that could change how generations experience wine. This conversation uncorks why classic 750ml bottles are struggling to captivate younger drinkers and what it will take for wine to rival the convenience of seltzers and cocktails. Abby reveals the secrets behind fractionalization—how her company, Small Lot Bottles, transforms wines into TSA-friendly miniatures for education, gifting, and direct-to-consumer sales. You'll learn why canned wines fizzled, why PET plastic just doesn't cut it, and how glass keeps wine's integrity intact. The discussion dives into the technical challenges of bottling, shelf life, and the sophisticated use of Coravin's argon technology to preserve taste and tradition. Paul and Abby muse on the frustrations of shipping wine, navigating legal hurdles, and why Gen Z consumers might grab a can of hard seltzer before ever considering a can of wine. As the conversation flows, you'll gain a behind-the-scenes look at how wineries are adapting, how industry innovators like Paul Mabray are influencing change, and why experience matters more than size. You'll come away understanding how the wine world is responding to declining sales, changing demographics, and the demand for something different—plus, you'll hear about Texas' own pioneering vineyards and what it means for the future. If you're wondering where wine is headed, pull up a glass—this episode will give you more than just a taste of tomorrow's wine culture.

In a nod to one of the worst people of the 20th century, the government has been covertly poisoning the general public for decades through the water supply with fluoride, atrazine, and glyphosate. The water that isn't being poisoned is stolen by multinational food conglomerates like Nestlé. Kissinger would also appreciate the role of Public-Private Partnerships in the ownership of the water supply, as cities vote to outsource the task of managing public water utilities. Milei is continuing the policy of privatizing the water supply of Argentina to a state-owned water conglomerate in Israel. NGOs like the United Nations are also making decisions on access to water based on dubious climate science and doomer scenarios.

Send us a textWelcome back to the Feel Lit Alcohol Free podcast! Today, we're kicking off our brand-new “Alcohol-Free Myth Busters” series by tackling a juicy one: “Do sober people judge drinkers?”If you've ever wondered what your alcohol-free friend really thinks when you pour that second glass—or if you've felt awkward, defensive, or even misunderstood in social situations since going sober—this episode is for you.Ruby and Susan get real about what it's like to be the alcohol-free one at parties, family gatherings, and professional events. From wine gifts to backhanded comments, they share the surprising (and often tender) moments that come with living out loud in a world that still normalizes drinking.But here's the twist: instead of judgment, they've found compassion. Instead of isolation, connection. Could choosing sobriety actually make you more understanding?Plus, in our “Feel Lit” segment, we share the simple summer rituals that are keeping us grounded and glowing—no booze required.So…are sober people judging you? Or are we just quietly rooting for you to feel lit in your own way? Let's find out. Listeners have said that our podcast has helped them get alcohol free! So we created Feel Lit 21, a way for you to press your reset button and take a 21 day break from alcohol. It's a great place to start! Embrace 21 days without alcohol that feels lit!

Alcohol. The not so innocent human disconnect. Although it is widely acceptable to drink alcohol. It's not exactly, elevating you or allowing you to, mature emotionally, spiritually and mentally. Whenever we use a defense mechanism to numb our feelings. We are weakening our internal resources to grow. In order for us to grow. We need to confront the pain and heal the pain without. Without feeling the pain. You can do neither. Alcohol is something that jumps generationally from one generation to the the next. If you are a drinker. Your children, grandchild, children, and your multi-generational family are way more likely to drink as well. If you want to cut back, you could start by taking a day off and enjoying a nice clean glass of Perrier water and lime, or another nice clean beverage that will, nourish you and hydrate you. Let's see what else. Drinkers and nondrinkers are not on the same page. They vibrate on a different level, and they don't really connect spiritually, emotionally and mentally. Alcohol to alcohol. Friends may be having a jolly good time. But there's no real evolution of connection there.
