2024 will be the year of creating value for your consumer. I'm joined by author and friend Joshua M. Bernstein. "As the brewing industry navigates another 12 months of spirited competition and capricious consumer behavior, here's what's in store: 1) Taprooms will put a premium on hospitality on service. 2) Breweries will get more creative with events. The days of one-size-fits-all festivals are over. 3) Zero-carbonation alcoholic beverages will pop up, buoyed by the rise of hard tea. 4) Increased brewery consolidation will help breweries save costs by sharing resources. 5) Brand values will become selling points as important as the beer. 6) Nonalcoholic options will increase in number and scope, from THC seltzers to NA versions of boozy products—hello, White Claw 0% Alcohol."

​ SCIENCE TIME! Sit back and relax, it's getting frosty in here! On this episode of the podcast, we breakdown the results of our Cryo/T-90 experiment. And since the results were so "weird" - we brought in some extra help in the form of some of the IGORs who helped with the podcast including Brad Macleod, Eric Pierce and Miguel Loza Brown. Together we talk what went right (and sometimes what went wrong with the brew days) and what we all thought of the Cryo beers (including some numbers courtesy of White Labs). And then in the lounge, Drew sits down with Joshua M. Bernstein, author of the newly released Homebrew World about the stories you find when you talk to homebrewers around the world. And of course we also cover the whole wide world of beer news, talk about some brewing adventures, answer some questions, drop a little British Museum on you before we get you back to the world.

Tag along with beer author Joshua M. Bernstein for a Brooklyn brewery stroll and get to know a trio of brewers who help define the scene. 

Hoje a dica de Carnaval é livro gringo e cerveja importada! Nesse episódio apresento o livro The Complete Beer Course, de Joshua M. Bernstein, jornalista cervejeiro residente do Brooklyn, em Nova York. Em 12 “aulas” ele traça um guia voltado a degustação de cervejas, bom tanto para cervejeiros novatos quanto experientes. Além disso, o material tem uma apresentação visual surpreendente. Mas, infelizmente, apesar de ter sido comprado aqui no Brasil, ainda não há versão traduzida para o português. Bem, um livro tão atrativo e intrigante como esse não poderia ser lido sem uma cerveja por perto. Dentre as várias possibilidades para recomendar para vocês, escolhi a Evil Twin Low Life, que conheci recentemente e já está na minha lista de preferidas. Uma reprodução do estilo Pilsen do jeitão Evil Twin. Assertiva no sabor, tem lúpulo presente (como é de costume nessa marca) e baixo corpo. É daquele tipo que a gente não consegue parar na primeira. Fica aqui a pergunta: você prefere as Pilsens tradicionais ou as mais extremas?
