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.

Sour ales are a fantastic platform for fruit flavors. The acidity of the base beers dovetails with the brightness of the fruit and can help sell the flavors of the fruit more authentically. There are challenges to pairing these beers though, and most of them are related to variability of the beers themselves: there are so many different ways to make a fruited sour ale. In this bonus episode, David Nilsen walks through the different types of fruited sour ale and explains which types of craft chocolate and seek out and which to avoid when pairing with them.As mentioned in the episode, you can read more about beer fermentation here, or listen to a bonus episode explaining beer fermentation here.You can order my book Pairing Beer & Chocolate on the Bean to Barstool shop or on Amazon.Check out David's new book Pairing Beer & Chocolate: A Guide to Bringing the Flavors of Craft Beer and Craft Chocolate Together.Follow Bean to Barstool on social media!InstagramFacebookPinterestSign up for host David Nilsen's newsletter to get regular updates!
Victor Novak has been racking up medals at major competitions for decades now. Through stints at significant Philadelphia and southern California breweries, he's made his mark on the development of contemporary beer styles while also working with a number of younger brewers who've done significant work themselves. Now, as director of innovation for Figueroa Mountain (https://www.figmtnbrew.com) in Westlake Village, California, he's blending the many beer avenues he loves—lager, fruit, and more—to build a robust program with beers that even non-beer-lovers can enjoy. In this episode, Novak covers: adjusting chloride-to-sulfate ratios in dark lagers building easy-drinking dark beers with pilsner malt, rice, and small amounts of roasted malts limiting Munich malt to avoid astringency single-infusion mashing with modern malts managing sulfur production with Augustiner lager yeast the differentiating factors in award-winning lagers dialing in pH in either pale and dark lagers to optimize hop or malt expression biotransformation with lager yeast in West Coast pils creating a perception of sweetness (without actual sweetness) in tart fruit beers Choosing Lactobacillus strains for the intended level of acidity adding top-notes to fruit flavors for aromatic punch working terpenes into hop-forward and nonalcoholic beers And more.

Tim Johnson of Barrel Theory (https://barreltheory.com) in St. Paul, Minnesota, started brewing progressive styles of beer—hazy IPA, fruit beers, barrel-aged stouts, and more—out of necessity. As a beer lover and beer trader, it made sense to try his hand at these things he would trade for, both for the creative thrill of pursuing excellence in these styles, but also for more pragmatic reasons—to have things to trade. Today, Johnson still loves tasting the wide breadth of beer out there, and he remains active in trading beer with brewer friends. Now, however, he's more focused on his own brewing—mastering hazy IPA, tart fruit beers, and barrel-aged stouts—and he's not afraid to let you know that he loves those styles. In this episode, he discusses: blending and co-pitching yeast in hazy IPAs designing double and triple hazy IPAs to taste great at a variety of temperatures balancing base malts for flavor and color adjusting water for the perfect hazy IPA profile using advanced hop products alongside T-90 pellets choosing the right time and place for certain hop additions building hazy IPAs that make you want to take another sip taking advantage of the “Infinity Gauntlet” of hops pushing hop saturation while still controlling hop burn using coconut cream to build richness in fruited sours And more.

Finding space for personality and authenticity in hazy IPA and tart fruit beer these days can pose a challenge for brewers, but for Jared Welch, Cofounder and Production Director for Nashville, Tennessee's Southern Grist, (https://www.southerngristbrewing.com) that's no reason to stop pushing. It's why their popular quick-soured fruit beers are now acidified with a locally-caught Lactobacillus strain, and why they've tweaked and increased bitterness in their hazy IPAs while eschewing active fermentation dry hopping. Southern Grist is going to make the beers that customers want from them, but they stand out by making them their way. In this episode, Welch focuses on hazy IPA and tart fruit beers, covering: First-wort hopping with Vic's Secret Whirlpooling very cool as low as 160°F Tweaking the grist for hazy IPA to ramp up oats Building the lightest color via Pilsner malt Driving London Ale III to a dozen generations through careful fermentation management Dialing in acidity for specific fruits And more.

Barn Town (https://www.barntownbrewing.com) popped up on our radar in 2022, with a number of beers across styles that scored well with our blind panel of judges, but the best of the bunch was Neon hazy IPA with an impressive score of 98 (https://beerandbrewing.com/review/barn-town-brewing-co-neon-hazy-ipa-1651076631/). In our upcoming IPA issue, they did it again with another 98 for hazy double IPA Stink, Stank, Stunk, so naturally we felt the need to ask some questions and understand how they're making consistently impressive beers. In this episode, founder Pete Faber, head brewer Grant Brower, and brewer Cody Guyer cover a list of topics, including: updating beer recipes over the past half decade to adapt to changing customer tastes building stability in hazy IPA with malted oats, wheat, and Pilsner malt why Citra is “the bacon”—good with everything chilling the whirlpool and optimizing for survivable dry hopping after crashing to minimize less desirable flavors consistency and variability in hop varieties from lot to lot brewing fruited sour beers without gluten-containing grains the impacts of thickness and gravity on batch pasteurizing And more.

Tonya Cornett marks her brewing experience in decades, but the head of R&D for Bend, Oregon's 10 Barrel (https://10barrel.com) isn't resting on any laurels. She's earned every right to cruise, with many GABF and World Beer Cup medals under her belt (including three at the World Beer Cup earlier this year), but she continues to challenge herself and her team to find new and better ways to express flavor in beer. One of her favorite styles, and one she's earned wide acclaim for, is quick-soured fruit beer. 10 Barrel now sells these beers across the country under their “Crush” brand, and Cornett's small brewery and R&D team are constantly working ahead, creating new iterations with different fruits and ingredients for 10 Barrel's pubs in Bend. In this episode, she discusses the ways she's made this “simple” style much more difficult to make, from varying grain bills based on the fruit, to using different yeasts, and including one fruit in multiple forms to capture all of its flavor. Along the way, she covers: the change over time in their lacto culture brewing quick-soured beers in two stages as blender batches using wheat, oats, and dextrin malt to build mouthfeel and keep the beers from drying out varying pitch rate based on the current state of the culture and production calendar carefully measuring total acidity rather than just pH using hops that complement fruit and acidity managing sulfur production and controlling diacetyl layering purée, freeze-dried fruit, juice, concentrate, extracts, and more to build a whole fruit picture using adjacent fruits as well as spices to amplify the expression of a primary fruit And more.

Happy Bloomsday!! Bloomsday is a commemoration and celebration of James Joyce's Ulysses, held on the 16th June each year. Ulysses is set on 16th June 1904, commonly believed to mark the day that Joyce first walked out with Nora Barnacle, his life-long partner (and later wife). Eric makes us all jealous as he tells us about the ultimate Bloomsday in Dublin, Ireland, where he meets the best character of Ulysses. Wendy tells us about her experiences organizing Bloomsday events in Champaign-Urbana, Illinois. As is typical of Bloomsday celebrations across the world, the team read their favorite passages aloud. Which episodes do they pick? Mentions: Nice cups of tea, ahhh. Poetic, Noble Land Mermaid, Fruited Sour, Wild Heaven Beer - Avondale, Avondale Estates, GA Theme song: “Come on Over” by Scalcairn, via Blue Dot Sessions Special thanks to Carin Goldberg, whose cover design for the Gabler edition of Ulysses inspired our logo
This week we talk about Fruited Sour! Our commerical callibration is Molson Canadian Lager
For Austin Jevne, cofounder of Forager (https://foragerbrewery.com) and now owner and head brewer of the Humble Forager (https://www.humbleforagerbrewery.com) brand, creative flavors are crux to brewing. While the brewpub that he founded with life and business partner Annie Henderson continues with their mission to provide compelling beer and food for the Rochester, Minnesota community, the Humble Forager brand has set more wide-ranging goals to bring their authentic and grounded approach to flavorful beer to a wider national market. Forager produces beers on a 7bbl system for their local fans. Humble Forager works through 100bbl batches produced at partners like Octopi in Madison, Wisconsin or Fair State Collective in Minneapolis, Minnesota. But a through line that spans all of their production is a focus on real ingredients and real fruit, used in thoughtful and expressive ways, no matter what the style. Whether quick sour, hard seltzer, or stout, the approach is the same—no extracts, high quality ingredients, and a progressive approach to technique to drive the best possible expression from the chosen ingredients. In this episode of the podcast, Jevne discusses their approach to recipes and process, including: Creating real fruit hard seltzers that are shelf stable for up to 18 months Using a three-stage pasteurization process to temper and stabilize fruit in quick sours and hard seltzer Layering fruit flavor with other herbal and tea notes to create flavors that evolve through the sip Searching for the best quality fruits from a variety of sources Finding the best sources for flavorful vanilla Working with high pectic fruits Accounting for expression of acidity in both fruited hard seltzers and quick soured beers Building a library of stout recipes and barrel types to create options when blending Employing an ingredient-by-ingredient method of concentrated infusion to carefully add flavor to stouts Deploying blended methods of coffee infusion using both whole bean and ground coffee for different flavor contributions And more. “A lot of people are assuming that fruited sours have a shelf life similar to hazy IPAs,” says Jevne. “And absolutely they do, from certain breweries. But if you have a process that changes that—we have a shelf life of 18 months with flavor stability in our fruited sours and people look at our shelf life on the bottom of the cans and get a little worried sometimes. But we've done multiple tests about the longevity of where that flavor's stable, and because of that [multi-step pasteurization] process, our beers are great and can sit in the back of your trunk on a hot Texas summer day, and they're not going to explode.” This episode is brought to you by: G&D Chillers (https://gdchillers.com): What if you could chill your beer with a more efficient chiller?

The Eighth State (https://eighthstatebrewing.com) is small. Very small. The 3 bbl open vessel brewhouse sits adjacent to the taproom as brewing gear spills over on days when they're not open. Barrels are packed in every inch of unused space, and an assortment of plants creates a comfortable vibe in the small ground-floor space. It feels cluttered but relaxed in that creative way, and cofounder and head brewer Cameron Owens is determined to have some serious fun. The brewery is small, but has earned an outsized reputation for their flavorful beers—from fruited sours to ingredient-heavy barrel-aged stouts. But Owens is committed to doing things his way, even if that means more tank time and slower turns, in order to get the exact flavor he wants. In this episode of the podcast, focused on “quick” sour beers and ingredient-laden stouts, he discusses: Using a solera process with a Lacto and Sacch culture to create the base for fruited sour beers Packing fruited sours with live culture but sulfites to prevent refermentation Achieving “wild” flavors and minimizing sulphur expression without Brettanomyces Making complex beers more accessible to customers Blending fruits for contrast and juxtaposition, finding counter notes while creating tension Achieving vegan-friendly results without lactose Building multiple layers of flavor in big barrel-aged beers Adjusting the multi-day brew schedule for bigger beers, to aid fermentation Using a two-step process for certain ingredient additions, to increase impact And more. For the brewery, the goal is to stand out. They want to be exclusive, but not impossible to get. Most importantly, for a brewery their size, it's very important to keep excitement high and keep people coming through that door. As Owens says, “I really can't afford to just be average.” This episode is brought to you by: G&D Chillers (https://gdchillers.com): For nearly 30 years, G&D Chillers has set the mark for quality equipment you can rely on.
