Is there anything better than beer and cheese? The two are intertwined as some of the best pairings out there and the two are very alike. Cheese and beer are both products of agriculture, the two are made very similarly with cheese undergoing a “ripening” phase similar to fermentation. Cheese has a variety of intensities and flavors, as does beer. Put them together and watch the magic unfold. But how do you pair these two? And how does making cheese work vs. say, brewing a batch of IPA? We'll talk to two experts about all things cheese and beer.

Non-alcoholic beer is on the rise.  Non-alcoholic beer is one of the few market segments where beer is actually growing.  But non-alcoholic beer is hard to make, with many tasting “worty” or “stewed.”  One brewery that has cracked the code on how to make non-alcoholic beer that actually tastes good is Guinness, Ireland's famed stout brewer.We talk with Guinness about how they make Guinness 0 and why it is so popular (it's not just the taste).  Non-alcoholic beer doesn't have to be a sacrifice.  What if beer drinkers could choose non-alcoholic beer because it is the “smarter” choice, but because it actually is the best beer option?This Episode is Sponsored by:RahrBSGNeed ingredients and supplies that deliver consistent, high-quality beer?

Usually maltsters sell big bags of different grains to breweries and that's it, right? But when using smaller maltsters, perhaps can there be more of a collaborative process? How do smaller, more local maltsters work with their local breweries to help meet their goals, needs and make sure they have everything they need? What are the benefits of having your maltster nearby or on speed dial? Are there any challenges to breweries just using local malt as well? Today on the All About Beer podcast, we talk to a local maltster in Massachusetts who showcases their client's breweries in a taproom next to the malthouse. We also talk to a New Jersey based small maltster and one of their brewing partners about how they work together in a changing beer landscape. This Episode is Sponsored by:Sierra Nevada Brewing Co.Sierra Nevada Brewing Company, where trailblazing runs in the family.

There was a time when small breweries dotted the land, making beers beloved by the communities they served.  Thanks to Prohibition, changing consumer preference or just the difficulties of running a business profitably, many such beers have been lost to the history books.But small breweries specialize in connecting with their communities.  And they can source small-batch or historic ingredients.  So, some of today's small breweries have been reviving lost brands, bringing nostalgia to older drinkers and offering new flavors to younger ones.We chat with two breweries - Yazoo and Upland -  about how they are satisfying our thirst for nostalgia.This Episode is Sponsored by:RahrBSGNeed ingredients and supplies that deliver consistent, high-quality beer?

Who doesn't like marshmallows?  Ancient Egyptians were the first to enjoy a gooey treat now called marshmallow as early as 2000 BC.  Today, whether it's in a hot cup of cocoa on a cold winter's night, or smooshed with chocolate between graham crackers around the campfire, marshmallows are a fun way to add a little sweetness to life.  But what about marshmallow in beer?Marshmallows add sweetness to beer, obviously.  But quality marshmallows have other flavors, too.  In the hands of a skilled brewer, marshmallows can be used to make novel beers that please tastebuds and even evoke childhood memories.  Marshmallows are more than just a cylindrical confection sold in bulk at the grocery store.  It's time to understand the true art of marshmallow beer.This Episode is Sponsored by:Sierra Nevada Brewing Co.Sierra Nevada Brewing Company, where trailblazing runs in the family.

After New England brewers changed the world of IPA, other brewers took note of the style, based on its popularity the new flavors the style provided. But as all inventive brewers do, they didn't merely mimic the hazy IPAs coming from New England.  Instead, they further re-interpreted IPA, trying new hops, new yeast strains and even adding some bitterness back to the beer to satisfy their local palates. Other brewers have pushed the style to be bigger with double, triple and even quintuple hazy IPAs.And while these brewers have advanced hazy IPA to new frontiers, the innovation isn't over. The future of hazy IPA is clear: There will continue to be new flavors, new ingredients, new brewing techniques and new interpretations of the most popular new beer style to emerge in decades.This Episode is Sponsored by:RahrBSGNeed ingredients and supplies that deliver consistent, high-quality beer?

A special episode of the All About Beer Podcast with Em Sauter and Don Tse:The New England IPA (NEIPA) or Hazy IPA has come to dominate the beer landscape with most breweries having at least one (or sometimes entire portfolios) devoted to the beer style. But how did this happen? In 2013, a small group of breweries in New England, all of which were quite tiny at the time, began to brew a beer that took what we knew of as IPA (bitter, clear) and turned it on its head, creating a thickish, orange colored beer with tons of hop flavor but not a lot of bitterness.The world took notice and all of a sudden, the NEIPA was a worldwide phenomenon. Let's go back to the beginning and talk to two brewers from New England who were in the room when it happened, their experiences with the beginning of the trend and how it has changed their approach to brewing today.For more Drink Beer, Think Beer check out All About Beer.SponsorsStomp StickersStomp Stickers is a proud member of the Brewers Association that produces a wide variety of printed brewery products such as beerlabels, keg collars, coasters, beer boxes and much more.

Baltic Porters, a beer famous in Eastern Europe, is a unique brew for sure. Born out of the love and thirst for English porters in the 18th and 19th centuries, Eastern European and Northern European brewers took their own access to local ingredients and made a new style out of the original porter and in this, fundamentally changed the way we think about dark beer. For one, most of the Baltic porters are made with lager yeast, a sharp contrast to other porters in America and England brewed with ale yeast. Baltic porters can also be higher in ABV, with the famous Polish Baltic porter Żywiec (pronounced “Shoe-Vee-Its”) being a whopping 9.5% ABV. So what is the history behind this beer style and how do modern Polish and American commercial brewers brew it? We talk to two brewers: one from Poland and one from America to see what approaches they take with this fascinating style.This Episode is Sponsored by:RahrBSGNeed ingredients and supplies that deliver consistent, high-quality beer?

Em Sauter is the creator of Pints and Panels. She comes in to discuss Holiday Beer Pairings.

Before there was brut IPA, cold IPA, NEIPA, black IPA and white IPA, west coast IPA reigned supreme.  Like all IPA, hops are the star of the show in west coast IPA, but for all of their attributes: their bitterness, aroma and flavor.  But the best IPAs, those that win gold medals, are built on the right water profile and supporting foundation of malt.  Fermentation matters, too.  Arguably, the American craft beer industry was built on west coast IPA, so let's take a look at what builds great west coast IPA.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 .

While walking through the beer shop, you must have noticed a brewery's rebrand of packaging materials/signage. Sometimes it's a slight tweak of a logo or a color change, but sometimes it's a massive reshuffling to something brand new. Why do breweries rebrand and what are its purposes? In this episode, we will talk to a designer who helps breweries achieve their perfect branding and a brewery currently going through the process of rebranding. Both will discuss the challenges and reasons as to why breweries need to remain fresh in an ever changing beer landscape.

The most popular sub-style in beer at the moment, the India pale ale or IPA has had a very storied history, or has it? The most overwrought tale in beer is that the IPA was a new style loaded with hops to survive the long voyage to India and when it got there for all the colonists to drink, it was sparkling and delicious, unlike anything people had ever seen before. But is this merely a tall tale or does it hold some truth? On this episode we talk with beer writer Pete Brown about IPA's history, its myths and its creation into one of the most told origin stories in beer.

Chocolate is almost universally loved, including by brewers. Often used in stouts or other dark beers, chocolate can add complexity to beer while complimenting the flavors of malt. As making good beer requires good ingredients and skilled brewers, so too does making good chocolate require the best inputs handled by expert artisans. And combining the two into chocolate beer? That's a master class in understanding manipulating agricultural products into a culinary masterpiece.This Episode is Sponsored by:Festival of Wood and Barrel-Aged BeerIf you appreciate the precision of barrel-aged beer, you got to check out the Festival of Wood and Barrel-Aged Beer in ChicagoYou'll get access to more than 350 beers, ciders, meads and perrys from 13 style categories brewed by the world's top barrel-aged brewers—all under one roof.

In the last few years hop water has seen explosive growth.  For many, it's a non-alcoholic beverage that scratches the beer itch.  But like all things beer, there's more to it than meets the eye.  There is a lot of thought and technique into how to extract the desirable flavors of hops and without malt providing balance, hop water recipes are as carefully constructed as beer recipes. 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 .

Kellerbier traces its history to when beer in Bavaria was stored in underground caves which were natural cellars - or kellers.  “Kellerbier” means "cellar beer” and kellerbiers today are a throwback to old lagers.  Naturally carbonated and unfiltered, kellerbiers are said to be more flavorful and with a softer mouthfeel.  And modern brewers are taking the old idea and applying it to modern lagers, resulting in beer lovers rediscovering a love of lager.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 .

Myths are everywhere in beer. We don't know when certain breweries were actually created, when some brewing styles were invented, or we have preconceived notions of how certain things should be. In reality, they are not true at all. Beer writer Jeff Alworth has a phrase for some of these: romantic facts. Some are semi-accurate but the truth is stretched slightly, which hurts no one and helps create legend and lore either around a specific brewery or a brewing process. Alworth lays out a list of these romantic facts for this episode of the All About Beer podcast to dig through in a fun and engaging interview about what is the "truth" of beer and does it really matter?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 .

In the early days of craft beer, hopping was limited to bittering hops, flavor hops and aroma hops, added early, late and later in the boil.  Then dry hopping became very popular, particularly with IPAs.  As hops came to dominate the craft beer discussion, brewers began experimenting with all manner of hopping techniques in an effort to extract new, interesting and stable hop flavors and boost the overall hoppiness in their beers.  What are all these hopping techniques and what do they do?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 .

Hungry? Thirsty?  Don't just have food and beer, have the optimal food and beer! Beer and food pairing isn't as easy as you'd think, but it isn't hard either. I've got some guidelines, a little history of the Great American Beer Dinner, some tips from world-renowned beer educational cartoonist Em Sauter, and an interview from my old pal John Holl, a podcaster, a publisher, a raconteur, and the author of three books about beer and food. It's a fun episode, and I'll take you along to a dinner at Revival Kitchen, the incredible farm to table restaurant in, of all places, Reedsville PA, and tell you how I paired beers with each course. Two pretty good pairings, one flop, and one brilliant success.  What else? A follow-up with my basement bar and what happened when I invited the band at Elk Creek back for a drink, and an invitation to join us in Millheim at the end of the month for music, fun, food and drink!  Next episode: a town profile episode, because I know you love 'em! Cheers! The next episode will be out on July 25th, on schedule. This one was late because my mom went in the hospital, and I dropped everything to go stay by her side. She's better, thanks.

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 .

Attenuation is the consumption of sugar by yeast.  More attenuation means less residual sugar which generally means a drier beer … or does it?  A lot of factors come into play in how much attenuation a beer will undergo and that is only somewhat related to how dry or sweet that beer will be perceived by the drinker.On this episode of the All About Beer Podcast, we talk with a Master Cicerone about how attenuation is related (or not) to dryness and we speak with a brewer about how he thinks about attenuation in recipe development.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 .

The French Pilsner is a beer style that some craft lager focused breweries have been making lately, especially throughout America. But what is a French pilsner? Is it made by French breweries? Does it have traditional roots in France? What do French hops and malt add to this lager? What are its brewing techniques and how are they utilized?

In recent years, you may have noticed a different type of tap in breweries and taprooms.  They have a side pull and they can be used to control the amount of foam in a beer.  Maybe you've even enjoyed a “milko” pour, a beer, usually a Czech-style lager, poured such that it is almost entirely foam.  These pours come from the Czech Republic's long beer history and are finally being appreciated outside their borders.  Making good beer doesn't end when the beer is packaged.  Czech beer culture knows that the dispense of the beer enhances the beer, too.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 .

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.  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 .

Once a darling of the craft beer scene, Black IPAs or Cascadian dark ales, can be difficult to find today. History shows that Greg Noonan brewed Blackwatch IPA at the Vermont Pub and Brewery in Burlington, VT in the 1990's and the style would become part of the “IPAs of many colors movement” in the early 2010s. That time also saw interest in making and consuming white IPA and red IPAs. The success of Black IPA was short-lived and it fell to relative obscurity in the 2020's. While most breweries now are brewing hazy or west coast IPAs, some are giving the black IPA a chance. On this episode, we talk to two breweries still brewing this style and their reasons why, as well as brewing approach, history, and thoughts about this almost forgotten 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 .

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 .

Kernza is a new grain that has been bred with regenerative agricultural practices in mind. After decades of development, there is now a movement, supported by Patagonia Provisions, a division of the famous outerwear company, to use this perennial grain in brewing beer.  Will brewers like how it performs in the brewhouse?  Will consumers like the taste?  It is too early to tell, and a lot of infrastructure is needed to make the grain more widely available, but Kernza is probably the biggest development in brewing grains in centuries. This Episode is Sponsored by:The Best of Craft Beer AwardsAttention brewers: registration is now open for the 2024 Best of Craft Beer Awards.

Pasteurization is a method of stabilizing beer through heat.  Although some people think pasteurization can negatively affect the flavor of beer, when used properly, pasteurization stabilizes and preserves flavors and gives brewers flexibility in the brewing process. And with the rise in popularity of non-alcoholic beer, which has less inherent preservative qualities, pasteurization not only keeps flavors stable, but is necessary to keep those beers free from pathogens.This episode's guest: Keith Villa, Ph.D., is a trailblazer in the beer and cannabis industries; and brewmaster and co-founder of Colorado-based CERIA Brewing Company, dedicated to brewing only alcohol-free beers. After earning his PhD in brewing from the University of Brussels in Belgium in the early 1990's, an honor only a handful of brewers have achieved, Keith returned to the states with the idea of crafting beers inspired by Belgian styles, but with a twist.  He then began his 32-year career as founder and head brewmaster at Blue Moon Brewing Company, an operating unit of MillerCoors.  Since retiring from Blue Moon, this beer doctor developed a patented brewing method to produce great tasting alcohol-free craft beers; written a book titled Brewing with Cannabis, Using THC and CBD in Beer; and continues to speak worldwide as an expert in both the beer and cannabis industries. This Episode is Sponsored by: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.
