Podcasts about IPA

With 19 Great American Beer Festival and World Beer Cup medals, an Alpha King win, and nine beers scored 95-plus by Craft Beer & Brewing—including two in our upcoming Fall issue—Sunriver has become a medal-winning powerhouse of a production brewery and brewpub. But while their hop-forward offerings get much of the attention—and a fair amount of time in this podcast episode—they're equally adept at brewing beers with left-field culinary ingredients. The throughline? Palates they're constantly training and challenging, and a sense for quality of flavor, refinement, and integration. In this episode, head brewer Patrick Raasch discusses: differentiating between American and West Coast IPA blending pils and two-row malts in IPA using lager yeast to lean into sulfur with more pungent hops brewing their Alpha King–winning double IPA with 34/70 yeast bittering with Mosaic CO2 extract dry hopping under pressure at cooler temperatures competition bottling for minimal oxygen ingress taking IPA from great to medal-winning integrating hops in barrel-aged American barleywine brewing “garden party” rice lager with Japanese cucumber, yuzu, and basil And more. This episode is brought to you by: G&D Chillers A quick word for the brewers out there staring down a broken chiller. You know the pain—warm fermenters, stressed yeast, and that sinking feeling when the repair quote lands in your inbox. With refrigerant regulations changing and the cost of obsolete refrigerants skyrocketing, sometimes the fix costs more than the unit's worth. G&D Chillers is there to help, whether you're a small brew pub or large full-scale production brewery. Don't throw good money at bad equipment. Invest in a solution that grows with your brewery—and keeps your tanks cold when it counts.

Berkeley Yeast It's here! Berkeley's FRESH™ Chico is now available dry. You've heard here on the podcast just how many medal-winning brewers use FRESH™ Chico as their house strain because of how clean and versatile it is. If you want to make world-class IPA, your fermentation must avoid unwanted or distracting flavors, and Berkeley's robust low-diacetyl technology is a game changer with healthy and highly viable cells that ferment fast and clean every time. Bringing that level of fermentation innovation to dried yeast is no small feat, but the experts at Berkeley Yeast love making the impossible possible. With bricks priced as low as $88, it's a cost-effective solution, and you'll save even more by eliminating ALDC from your brews. Head over to berkeleyyeast.com and start leveling up your IPA today.

In 1993, Deb and Dan Carey released Wisconsin Belgian Red, the third beer they made at their new Wisconsin brewery, New Glarus. It was one of the country's first “sour” ales, and it created quite a stir, and not just because it was so unusual. The Careys weren't on a momentary flight of fancy. Rather, Dan Carey, the brewer, had been experimenting with wild ales for six years, and they intended Wisconsin Belgian Red to be a key part of their portfolio. Thirty three years later, it still is. On this episode, we're going to hear from Jeff Sparrow and Dan Carey about how these old, almost extinct methods jumped the ocean to the United States to become an enduring part of craft brewing. No beer was more critical in developing interest in wild ales than New Glarus Wisconsin Belgian Red, and this is its story.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:RahrBSGThis episode of the One Iconic Beer podcast is supported by RahrBSG – trusted supplier to brewers, distillers, and beverage makers across North America.  From the barley field to your brewhouse, we're proud to support the people behind great beer with the ingredients, expertise, and service they depend on.  Whether you're brewing the next great American Double IPA or crafting an award-winning continental lager, RahrbSG provides the industry's finest quality, selection, and support.

A Green Cow nasceu em 2010 num Brasil que ainda não sabia o que era uma IPA, e virou sinônimo do estilo no Rio Grande do Sul. Neste episódio, o criador da cerveja conta a receita completa e a disciplina que a mantiveram no portfólio da Seasons por mais de uma década.Neste episódio, Henrique Boaventura conversa com Leonardo Sewald, sócio-fundador da cervejaria Seasons, sobre a anatomia completa da Green Cow, a American IPA que ajudou a formar o paladar cervejeiro gaúcho.O que você vai aprender:Como uma viagem ao Siebel Institute e a Bell's Two Hearted Ale inspiraram a receita da Green CowA receita completa: base de maltes, mostura, cronograma de lupulagem e dry hoppingPor que mudar o momento do dry hopping economizou 3 dias de processo e preservou aromaComo o caderno de campo e o painel sensorial evitam mudanças de receita sem controleA decisão de pausar a produção da Vaca das Galáxias durante um shortage de lúpulo em vez de reformular a receitaCom Leonardo Sewald, sócio-fundador da cervejaria Seasons e cervejeiro formado pelo Siebel Institute of Technology.

Hayden and Kyndall have been brining in Lil' Weir all week and this year as Hayden got to celebrate his first Father's Day this beer was a present to himself. I Love It When You Call Me Big Poppa is a IPA that has no right being as huge and flavorful as it is. Get this one this weekend while it's on tap because Kyndall may never let him brew this beer again!

In both 2024 and 2025, Jake Watt, head brewer at Trap Door in Washougal, Washington, took home gold medals in the GABF fresh hop category for his beer, Fresher Than Fresh. Interestingly, the recipes for each of those beers was quite different—and the recipe for the 2026 edition that he'll submit this year will see more changes as well. Fresh-hopped beers are a moving target, ephemeral in nature, and making the best possible beers today means using all the things—unkilned cones harvested that morning, Cryo Fresh pellets, flowable hop products, and even a touch of Riwaka here and there. In this episode, Watt shares insights into the iterative changes and evolving ingredients in Trap Door's medal-winning fresh-hopped beer. Along the way, he touches on: unlocking the best Mosaic character with Krush and Riwaka using deep-cut Cascade with additional thiol character flavor stability in fresh-hopped beers when hot-side hopping taking advantage of fresh-hop season to gain access to specific lots from certain growers focusing on Oregon-grown hops for fresh-hopped beers due to earlier pick windows mechanically chopping fresh cones controlling dilution and pH rise in fresh-hopped beers layering in character with fresh-frozen hop pellets sneaking smaller amounts of Cryo Fresh into beers not labeled as fresh hops And more.

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 Berkel ey 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.

The IPA will NEVER DIE, and neither will this series of blind tasting podcasts if we can successfully find more beers that fit our criteria. Thankfully, listeners Benji & Suzanne went to California and brought back some all-West Coast, long-made IPAs to deepen our ongoing quest to find the country's best, and our scoresheets are showing high numbers on this one. We also discuss the deep thoughts of great philosophers (like a toddler in a shopping cart); Craig might've had a Mosaic breakthrough; and we share our overall Top 35 lists of every IPA we've drank through this series - and boy do we feel silly about some of the names at the bottom.

Host Mike sits down with Jeremy "Jerm" Rodriguez of Beachwood Brewing to trace his decade-plus journey from bartender to brewer, blender and distiller. They discuss Beachwood's IPA roots, the long-game patience behind the blendery's lambic-style sours, building a distillery from scratch, and awards that validated their work. The episode also touches on brewery culture, customer experience, family life, nerdy hobbies, situational beers and behind-the-scenes stories from the brew deck.

In this episode, Markus meets Norwegian brewing pioneer Kjetil Jikiun for a very special “beer cast” recorded in the car. Kjetil looks back on an extraordinary journey that led him from life as an airline pilot to becoming one of the key figures of the modern Norwegian beer revolution. He shares how homebrewing, American craft beer, and a deep curiosity for flavor inspired him to co-found Nøgne Ø and help introduce bold styles like IPA, saison, and imperial stout to Norway. The conversation also takes some remarkable detours: from brewing what may be the highest-altitude beer in the world on a mountain pass in Central Asia, to building a brewery project in Crete and discovering how different beer cultures can be. Kjetil reflects on innovation, responsibility, and the balance between brewing as science and brewing as art. A fascinating episode about adventure, flavor, and the courage to keep reinventing yourself.

In this episode of We Should Know Better, the guys dive headfirst into a hilariously chaotic mix of viral street culture, heavy theological head-scratchers, and unsolicited physical observations.  Zack and Andy break down a bizarre viral video of a street preacher casting quite the extreme "biblical" curse on a dancing Jesus impersonator. They then pivot into a raw, honest conversation about their own insecurities—from Zack's legendary "missing link" brow ridge to Andy's sudden realization that his bladder is working overtime.  Later, they tackle the mental shift of unexpected inheritance money, debate the controversial new Texas law mandating Bible reading in public schools, and pull up the receipts on Genesis 9 to figure out exactly what happened when Noah got a little too drunk in his tent.  Finally, they question whether a lack of modern creativity means the global simulation is simply running out of memory. Pull up a chair, crack a cold IPA, and remember: we should probably know better. 00:00 – Warm Beers & Setting the Curls Free 02:30 – Zack's "Missing Link" Sun Visor Ridge 05:00 – Testing the South Pacific IPA 08:45 – Reacting to the Street Preacher vs. Dancing Jesus Video 11:45 – Cursing People with Cancer in Jesus' Name? 13:15 – Our General Disposition on Street Preachers 19:30 – Pouring One Out for LeBron's Lakers Era (and Melting Hair) 23:00 – Jordan Peterson as Kermit and Miss Piggy 25:40 – The Smell of Sound Dampening Material 27:00 – What Would You Do With a Surprise $50,000? 34:30 – Non-Profits, Free Trips to Hawaii, and Financial Awkwardness 46:30 – Texas Mandates Bible Reading in Public Schools 53:00 – Balancing Faith Integration vs. State Coercion 59:00 – Fact-Checking Genesis: When Noah Got Drunk & Naked 01:05:00 – Did the Flood Actually Fail to Stop Violence? 01:21:00 – Knowing the Heart of God Through Jesus 01:24:00 – Simulation Theory: Did the World Run Out of Memory in the 90s? 01:27:00 – Giving Power to the State Always Bites Back SUBSCRIBE & SHARE us this week!Contact Us: brosbiblesbeer@gmail.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Leave Us A VoicemailYouTubeSimpleCastSpotifyApple PodcastsXInstaWe Should Know Better is: Zack Krater & Andy McCraw Find us wherever fine podcasts are distributed.

When the old Senate clock struck midnight, everyone agreed that Mitch McConnell had finally reached the end of his very long political journey. The room fell silent—until a tiny, glowing brewery gnome appeared carrying a frothing mug of impossibly golden beer. “This,” the gnome declared, “is the Legendary Last Lager, brewed once every thousand years from moonlit barley and the laughter of pub regulars.”The magical beer was poured into Mitch's hands, and with one dramatic sip, the room erupted in sparkling foam. His eyes flew open, the lights flickered, and somewhere in the distance an eagle high-fived a unicorn. He stood up, dusted off his jacket, and calmly announced, “I suppose there's still time for one more meeting.” The gnome simply shrugged and ordered another round.From that day on, rumors spread that somewhere in the hills there was a secret brewery capable of reviving anyone—as long as they appreciated a well-made pint and didn't ask too many questions about the recipe. Historians dismissed the tale, bartenders swore it was true, and every time someone raised a glass, they wondered if it contained just a drop of that legendary, life-restoring brew. ★ Support this podcast ★

We have a Canadian episode. When you think summer, you naturally think Canada. Well...maybe not. Why are we featuring two beers from Canada this episode you ask. We just happened to have two Canadian beers. Brasserie du Bas Canada has been releasing a lot of great IPA's. We've been fortunate to try a few. Named after the ash tree nymphs from Greek mythology, Meliades is an American DDH IPA made with Citra, Vic Secret, Galaxy and Enigma. Bad Bones The Pain is a DIPA coming in at 8.1% ABV. Made with Nelson Sauvin and Rakau, it's an easy drinking DIPA that makes us want to try more from the brewery.   #beer #craftbeer #drinks #dipa #ipa

Life has finally settled down, and Matt is back with a real beer review! In Episode 39, Matt pours Hooey, a hazy IPA from Lupulin Brewing in Big Lake, Minnesota. Along the way, he shares the story of discovering the brewery at the Hamlin Craft Beer Fest, explains why their beers made such a lasting impression, and recounts the unfortunate (but apparently lucky?) incident of dropping the can—twice. Then it's time for a full BJCP-style evaluation, breaking down Hooey's appearance, aroma, flavor, mouthfeel, and overall impression to see how this highly regarded hazy IPA stacks up against the style guidelines. To wrap up the episode, Matt shares a behind-the-scenes look at presenting "Mind the Gap: Keeping Club Members Engaged Between Monthly Meetings" at HomebrewCon, including the unexpected technical hiccup that nearly derailed the presentation before it even began. Whether you're a craft beer fan, a homebrewer, or just enjoy hearing great beer stories, there's plenty to raise a glass to in this episode. Cheers!

Beer has been an important staple of humanity for millennia. But how was beer important to the American colonists starting a new life in a distant place? The colonies lacked the comforts and foods of their homeland. How did they adapt and through this adaptation, change the drink they loved so much? In this episode, we'll talk to British food historian Marc Meltonville about myths, foods, and brewing/distilling in both England and the newly formed United States. We'll also speak with Genesee Country Village and Museum senior director Brian Nagel and Rohrbach Brewing Co president Joel Will about their collaboration to brew 18th and 19th-century beer recipes to keep these interesting beer styles alive today.

Uma oracão ousada - Ef 314-21 - 05.07.2026 - culto matutino by Igreja Presbiteriana de Anápolis | IPA

Opie, Mark Normand, and Carl Ruiz turn the studio into a complete circus. Carl fat-fingers his wife's smoking-hot pics to everyone (including Roland), the group immediately loses their minds, then they dial her up while she's out with the kids. Cue nonstop roasting, zipline boob stories, Mark being Mark, ancient radio chaos with a Tourette's guy jumping to “Jump Around,” IPA hate, cheap beer nostalgia, Memphis BBQ talk, and the most unhinged birthday episode you'll hear all year. Raw, filthy, and stupidly funny — pure Opie Radio chaos.

Mike Stein and Pete Jones are brewing buffs and historians based in the Washington, D.C., area, and the intersection of those two interests has proven to be fertile ground over the past decade. Through their consultancy Lost Lagers and Extinct Ales, they've done the research and helped surface recipes and process information about brewing in the founding years of the United States—for example, this recipe for an 18th century pale ale, from an English cookbook found among Martha Washington's belongings. In this episode, the two share a glimpse into what brewing was like in those formative years, and they chart the milestones as brewing developed from a household-based enterprise in the 13 colonies to an industrial business in the 50 states. Along the way, the two discuss: beer versus ale in the context of the 1700s persimmon beer and the growth of local ingredients digging into historical records to recreate historical recipes and brewing processes updating historical recipes to modern ingredients cleaning historical malt with lobsters malt choices in modern beers to approximate less-consistent malt in past centuries brewing with wheat bran the shift from brewing on estates to brewing as a business America's diverse brewing history And more.

Grab your alumni gear, because Episode 271 of Beer, Blues, and BS is officially in session! We're kicking things off with a massive shout-out to our listeners tuning in all the way from Hong Kong, alongside a proud roll call for fellow Fighting Sioux alumni. This week, a major pop culture news drop takes center stage as the crew reacts to breaking headlines from the BBC regarding the future of Doctor Who—including a canceled Christmas special and a surprising shift in production. This immediate dive down the entertainment rabbit hole sparks an incredibly passionate debate about the overall decline of massive franchises like Star Wars, Indiana Jones, and the newly axed Stargate reboot.

Brewing is still very hands on and it's also artistic and creative, but there are benefits to using tech to help the process and get insight into how to run things efficiently.  To examine this a bit more, John Holl is joined by Dustin Jeffers the VP of Producer Product at Next Glass, the parent company of brands like Ekos, Ollie, Untappd, and Hop Culture and Teddy Gowan the Vice President of Brewing Operations at Societe Brewing in San Diego. 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:Berkeley YeastOur Tropics yeast is based on a London Ale strain, but we added a new gene to its genome that codes for a unique thiol-releasing enzyme.

CATL unveiled its TENER Sodium energy storage system at Intersolar Europe in Munich, rated for 15,000 cycles to 70 percent state of health at room temperature. CATL frames that as a 25 to 30 year service life, and it takes only 34 modules to stand up a one gigawatt-hour site. That single specification changes how commercial storage professionals price, propose, and finance battery projects. Tim Montague and John Weaver dig into what it means, alongside Illinois growing from about 80 megawatts of solar a decade ago to over 6,000 megawatts today under the new CRGA law, SunBallast ballasted racking and what module stacking tells you about install labor, UK bids for 16 and 18 hour long-duration storage, perovskite modules reaching the residential market, El Niño shifting solar output across the US, and silver falling more than 50 percent from its 2026 peak.Episode HighlightsCATL sodium ion battery, 15,000 cycles: CATL launched its TENER Sodium system at Intersolar Europe in Munich. It is rated for 15,000 cycles to 70 percent state of health at 25 degrees C, which CATL frames as a 25 to 30 year service life, and just 34 modules build a 1 GWh site. (Energy Storage News)Sodium ion safety advantage: CATL claims its sodium cells cut expansion force by roughly 40 percent, generate about 35 percent less gas during thermal runaway, and hold peak surface temperatures far below comparable lithium ion. The fire and thermal-runaway story is a big part of why C&I buyers are paying attention to sodium. (Interesting Engineering)Sodium ion in the fast-response role: John flagged a detail from a CATL hybrid storage proposal where sodium was specified for the faster-response duty and lithium for the slower role. Worth keeping in context. This is one proposal's configuration, not a blanket claim that sodium beats lithium on response everywhere.GM and Peak Energy sodium ion partnership: General Motors is moving into stationary storage with Peak Energy, backed by a strategic investment from GM Ventures. GM will develop the sodium ion cell in its Michigan battery lab and keep exclusive manufacturing rights, while Peak integrates the cell into its passively cooled storage systems. Peak energized the first U.S. grid-scale sodium-ion system, 3.5 MWh, in Watkins, Colorado, in 2025. (Inside Climate News)Illinois energy transition, 80 MW to 6 GW: Tim attended a Nexamp event at the company's Chicago office, where IPA director Brian Granahan reported Illinois has grown from about 80 megawatts of solar a decade ago to over 6,000 megawatts energized today, with roughly 14.5 gigawatts of wind and solar developed under the state RPS (13 GW to date plus about 1.5 GW just approved). The engine is CRGA, the Clean and Reliable Grid Affordability Act (SB 25, pronounced "Surge"), which runs its first utility-scale storage procurement in August, the opening tranche toward 3 GW by 2030 via additional 2027 and 2028 rounds. Residential VPP enrollment opens in mid-July, with ComEd and Ameren customers able to put home batteries into a short-term scheduled-dispatch pilot this summer. (PV Magazine)SunBallast racking and install labor: The hosts walk through SunBallast ballasted, no-penetration racking and get into the labor economics of module mounting, including what the way different manufacturers stack modules for shipping tells you about handling time on the job site.UK long-duration storage bids at 16 and 18 hours: Fresh procurement results out of Scotland and England show projects awarded at 16 and 18 hours of duration. John notes it is the first time he has seen bids at that scale and ties it to Scotland's wind-heavy generation profile. (Blue Sky)Trina Solar perovskite module hits residential market: Trina landed its first commercial order for a perovskite-silicon tandem module, going into New Zealand's premium residential market. The record-setting module is 907 watts at 29.2 percent efficiency, certified by TUV SUD. (Perovskite Info)El Niño and solar irradiance shifts: John walks through regional solar output swings across the US and globally. Rajasthan, India, home to some of the world's largest solar plants, is projected to run about 15 percent above its seasonal average this season. (PV Magazine)Silver prices fall more than 50 percent: Silver has dropped from its late-January 2026 record near 121 dollars to the upper 50s, more than half off the peak, on a stronger dollar and a hawkish Fed. It matters for PV because silver paste is a real line item, and World Silver Survey data shows solar's silver demand down about 19 percent. (TheStreet)This episode is essential for commercial solar installers, battery storage developers, community solar professionals, and clean energy policy watchers. The sodium ion story has direct and immediate implications for how professionals structure storage proposals, financial models, and customer conversations. Illinois developers will also want Tim's firsthand account of the CRGA storage procurement and the residential VPP pilot going live this summer.

Send us Fan MailBig thanks to Coach Rogers for the show idea!This year America turns 250, and we figured there's no better way to celebrate than to crack open the history books (and a few cold ones) and trace the whole wild story of beer in this country.We start all the way back in 1612 with the first commercial brewery in New Amsterdam, then jump into how beer became a genuine act of political rebellion in the lead up to the Revolution. Turns out the Sons of Liberty were planning the Tea Party over pints of local ale, and George Washington had his own version of "Buy American." We even found a transcription of Washington's actual home brew recipe, and we sample a modern version from Talea Brewing and the NY Public Library.From there we trace the German immigration wave that gave us lagers (and a literal riot in Chicago over Sunday beer sales), the refrigeration and pasteurization breakthroughs that made national beer brands possible, and the gut punch of Prohibition that nearly wiped the whole industry out.Then we get into the comeback. The three tier system, the first beer can, Fritz Maytag saving Anchor Brewing, the Miller Lite "tastes great, less filling" boom, and the moment that changed everything for guys like us: Jimmy Carter legalizing homebrewing in 1978. From there it's a straight line to the IPA arms race, the IBU wars, the late 90s shakeout, the hazy NEIPA revolution, and 2015 when American breweries finally broke the record set back in 1873.It's a lot of ground to cover, but that's kind of the point. 250 years of beer deserves a proper toast.Grab a pint, settle in, and let's talk about how we got here.Thanks for listening to Beer Guys Radio!  Your hosts are Tim Dennis and Brian Hewitt with producer Nate "Mo' Mic Nate" Ellingson and occasional appearances from Becky Smalls.Subscribe to Beer Guys Radio on your favorite app: Apple Podcasts | Google Podcasts | Spotify | Stitcher  | RSSFollow Beer Guys Radio: Facebook | Instagram | Twitter | YouTube If you enjoy the show we'd appreciate your support on Patreon.  Patrons get cool perks like early, commercial-free episodes, swag, access to our exclusive Discord server, and more!

For Nick Tedeschi, a great beer evokes memories, and the beer lineup at any of the Post's five Colorado locations is designed to feel familiar, whether you've ordered one there or not. Like the food and the environment, the intention is comfort, with beers designed to tuck into the experience rather than define it. But that doesn't mean they can't stand out on their own, and the World Beer Cup and Great American Beer Festival medals they've won—for dry stout, amber lager, cream ale, and malt liquor—speak to just how impactful these beers can be when made with care and intention. In this episode, Tedeschi discusses: medal-winning malt liquor with robust but refined flavor and low finishing gravity using the Andechs strain for expression and personality brewing single-infusion lagers with character consistently executing on fundamentals tweaking amber lager with locally produced Munich malt unexpected food-and-beer pairings selling beer through the food brewing 3.3 percent ABV beer with body and fullness using newer American hops with Noble-like qualities, such as Adeena And more.

Send us Fan MailA 95 calorie IPA that tastes like a legit tropical beer feels like a glitch in the system, so we had to put it to the test. We're coming in with stories from Columbus, Ohio, including a stay at BrewDog's DogHouse hotel where the brewery, restaurant, and bar all live under one roof. We talk room size, the dog-friendly setup, how quiet it is at night, and why it's a sneaky-good stop if you're passing through and want a full craft beer experience without a bunch of extra driving.Then we crack BrewDog Wingman, a tropical session IPA that lands at 95 calories and around 4% ABV, and it still brings real flavor. We get into what “session IPA” should mean, why some IPAs go too piney, and how fruit-forward notes can turn an IPA skeptic into a fan. We also keep it practical: what it might cost for a pack, where you're likely to find it, and whether a lighter beer can actually become a daily drinker without feeling like you're settling.The back half shifts into weekend life: a planned 12-mile hike that gets cut short by thunderstorms and downed trees, a quick pivot to a local hole-in-the-wall, a Father's Day golf round, and a Blackstone griddle dinner that deserves a repeat. We follow it up with a North High Stick Amber review and finish with our rowdy, no-filter question game before we wrap with our ratings and one last reminder not to drink and drive.

P&C crack open a Dogfish Head apricot IPA and take on the 19th Amendment — the real history, not the mythology. The standard story says women were yearning for the vote while men kept them down. The actual history is more nuanced. * Who actually opposed women's suffrage (hint: many women), * Why the anti-suffragettes predicted today's social problems with eerie accuracy, and * What the growing political divide between men and women means for the future of democracy. Plus: is universal suffrage actually the right system, or is "everybody votes" a more radical idea than we think?

Mass Appeal Draught House and Grille opened on the eve of the kick-off of FIFA World Cup 2026 at its neighbor, Gillette Stadium.    Hendler Family Brewing co-founder and CEO Sam Hendler joined the Brewbound Podcast to discuss how the multi-branded taproom handled an influx of guests, what Scottish fans prefer to drink (Jack's Abby House Lager) – and what they're not drinking.    "​​The majority of the audience who's been down there on game day has been the international fan base, and House Lager has been consistently the No. 1 seller, and it's not particularly close," Hendler said. "We're selling 6 or 7x the House Lager than we are of the top-selling IPA in that taproom right now."   Hendler shared insights into the World Cup-driven boost at the company's Night Shift taprooms and beer gardens and how they prepared their brands (Jack's Abby, Wormtown, Masshole Light and Sloop) to stand out in the trade during this high visibility time.   In the Boston area, hosting the World Cup and thousands of spectators who have come to support their teams has been a boon for the hospitality industry, particularly beer distributors and breweries.   "On the ground, the atmosphere has been fantastic. People have been showing up, people are having a great time, and they're drinking a lot of beer as it goes on," Hendler said. "There's been so much talk in beer about winning occasions that are beyond what the beer occasion has always been, and the industry still obviously needs work to do on that, because the World Cup, unfortunately, won't last for 365 days a year forever. But it's clear that beer is a winner for this occasion, and it's been absolutely fantastic."   Before the interview, Justin and Zoe discuss the results of the Brewers Association's annual Harris Poll of consumers' views on craft beer, recent developments in the ongoing collapse of Republic National Distributing Company and a first impression of Keystone Light Apple.

A sequence of amino acids dictates a three-dimensional shape, but reading that shape meant a year and roughly $100,000 of crystallography per structure. Then AlphaFold 2 won CASP14 so decisively the organizers called the problem essentially solved.In this documentary cut, John Jumper, who shared the 2024 Nobel Prize in Chemistry and has since left DeepMind for Anthropic, walks Tim Scarfe through what the system did and, more interestingly, what it did not. The architecture gets a proper dissection: MSAs, the Evoformer, invariant point attention, the FAPE loss, and Jumper's correction of the equivariance story, which ablations valued at roughly 2.5 of 30 GDT points rather than the whole win. He is blunt about the limits. AlphaFold predicts one experiment extraordinarily well; it is not a model of the cell, it does not capture dynamics, and on a given drug target it is "wrong nine times out of ten."From there: the AlphaFold Database of 200M+ predicted structures, AlphaFold 3 and ligands, Isomorphic Labs, and Jumper's quarrel with the bitter lesson, where finite data and human hypotheses still matter.

When Wynn Whisenhunt launched Wondrous in the compact bay area town of Emeryville, California—wedged between more well-known neighbors Oakland and Berkeley—he brought with him big ideas about what it would take to make great beer. After growing up around well-known homebrewers like Mike “Tasty” McDole and Jamil Zainasheff, studying brewing in the Siebel-Doemans program, and working at breweries of various scales like Lagunitas and Sante Adairius, he had both the theoretical knowledge and first-hand experience in its practical application, but the first few years of running his own brewery, writing all the recipes, and brewing all the beer taught him the most important lesson of all—the best beers are made by subtraction more than addition. Understanding exactly what each beer needs, and eliminating ingredients or techniques that don't serve that goal or that cause excess intervention, is the real key to taking beers from good to great. In this episode, Whisenhunt discusses both Wondrous Hell—for which he won broze at the 2024 Great American Beer Festival—and his related approach to West Coast IPA like the 98-rated Single Cuff. Along the way, he touches on: designing Hell with initially more complex processes, then simplifying going from a three-yeast blend to dry 34/70 yeast moving from step mashing to single infusion in lager beer unitank process for minimal lager intervention embracing good sulfur and controlling its expression changing from European to North American pils malt in West Coast IPA judging hops not on flavor and aroma but on impact and loudness incorporating modern hop products And more.

For brewing industry veterans Ben Allgood and Brady Jones, the chance to open their own brewery in Sacramento, California—Geisthaus—meant endless possibility, but they chose to intentionally limit themselves to lagers. Despite that self-imposed restriction, they're finding space for a range of creative expressions within the familiar worlds of pilsner and helles—but they're also not shying away from experimenting with hazy pale lager. In this episode, Allgood and Jones discuss: the choices they make in seven different pils recipes hops such as Spalt Select and Mittlefrüh and their impact on pils brewing pils with local and regional craft malts building “rustic robustness” in helles finding character with the White Labs WLP833 German Bock strain testing lager recipes head-to-head with house yeast and 34/70 the importance of high carbonation pulling levers to boost haze in pale lager the ins and outs of Lallemand's NovaLager strain using New Zealand hops for haze stability in lager And more.
