Over the past 30 years, the Glenwood Canyon Brewpub has earned an impressive 18 Great American Beer Festival and eight World Beer Cup medals. Mostly recently, there have been back-to-back GABF golds in festbier and a 2024 silver in helles, plus a score of 99 for that same helles from our blind panel at Craft Beer & Brewing—so, they're showing no sign of letting up. Brewing lager on a 10-barrel pub system with no mash rakes and a host of other challenges is a physical endeavor that requires intention and precision. But they've made thoughtful process and ingredient choices to overcome limitations around decoction and step-mashing. In this episode, owner Todd Malloy and head brewer Robin Reed share their technical approach to distinctive festbier and helles. Along the way, they discuss: brewing lager with an open-top, manual mash tun adjusting malts to replace character that might otherwise be created through decoction step-mashing by starting thick and adding water for each temperature raise targeting higher pH to facilitate Maillard reactions acidifying with sour wort using a diacetyl-free Andechs strain balancing festbier with higher final gravity and higher IBUs, plus a small whirlpool hop addition targeting proper hop intensity for competition beers filtration and its function in building flavor clarity and contrast And more. This episode is brought to you by: G&D Chillers G&D's new Elite 290 Micro-series runs on a natural refrigerant with near-zero global warming potential (GWP)—built for brewers who care about sustainability and performance. We recently built one for New Belgium Brewing, delivering around 50 percent energy savings over CO2 systems and 9 percent more efficiency than A2Ls.

Berkeley Yeast At the World Beer Cup this year: Gold for West Coast IPA; Gold for Session IPA; Bronze, Silver, and Gold for New Zealand IPA; Bronze, Silver, and Gold for Classic IPA. All these beers were fermented with one yeast: FRESH™ Chico, Berkeley's low-diacetyl ale yeast. There's something you need to know: Diacetyl is not just a pass or a fail. Yes, at high levels, it's tragically bad. But even at low levels, it masks the good flavors. So if you want hop notes to pop, you need diacetyl to be ultra-low. These brewers trust Berkeley Yeast for an ultra-clean fermentation because on the finals table, every little detail matters. And now FRESH™ Chico is available in dried bricks for as low as $88 at berkeleyyeast.com. PakTech This episode is sponsored by PakTech—delivering craft-beer multipacking you can trust.

These three refuse to stay in just one. To kick off our 40th anniversary celebration, we're celebrating some of our most iconic strains, highlighting the history and impact that each has had on craft brewing. These strains each earned their place in this collection the same way: not by trending, but by staying essential decade after decade, from homebrew benches to commercial brewhouses. 1056 American Ale, 1318 London Ale III, and 2124 Bohemain Lager are the proof, the quiet backbones behind some of craft beer's most familiar pints. Visit wyeastlab.com/most-iconic to learn more about each of these iconic strains.

Grudzień 1724. Osiemnastoletni chłopak klęczy na kołyszącym się pokładzie i przekłada listy w worku pocztowym. Szuka swojego nazwiska. Za kilka godzin zejdzie na ląd w największym mieście zachodniego świata. Sam. W Wigilię. Co znajdzie w tym worku? A raczej: czego w nim nie znajdzie?To odcinek o najniższym punkcie młodego życia i o człowieku, który pokazał Benowi, czym naprawdę jest słowo honoru.O obietnicach, które nic nie kosztują, i o tym, ile są warte. O mieście, które mogło pochłonąć chłopaka bez grosza,i o czterech zdaniach spisanych na oceanie, które przetrwały sześćdziesiąt lat. ✍️Jak Ben trafił na dno?Kto go z niego wyciągnął? I co takiego zapisał na powrotnym rejsie, że trzymał się tego do starości? Jeśli lubisz moje podcasty „Lepiej Teraz” — pomóż mi dzielić się tymi historiami dalej:Wesprzyj moją pracę na Patronite: patronite.pl/podcastlepiejteraz lub postaw na suppi.pl/lepiejteraz Subskrybuj mój nowy kanał podcastowy Radek Budnicki na Spotify: znajdziesz tam moje solowe lekcje, refleksje i wywiady.Źródła pierwotne:Benjamin Franklin, „The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin” (Część I), tekst w domenie publicznej, Project Gutenberg (wydania nr 148 i 20203, za edycją Bigelowa z oryginalnego rękopisu).
