Yeast is arguably the most important ingredient in beer, and it's usually the least recognized, so we brought in the experts to chat about it. Richard and Nate, Co-Founders of Ontario's premier yeast establishment, Escarpment Labs, joined Cee and Nate to get hyper nerdy about yeast and what it exactly is, how yeast is created and how it interacts with the other ingredients in beer, how they came up with their Pink Boots yeast strain, how yeast helps retain haze, how they create a bank of yeast, how non-alcoholic yeast works, their merger with Le Labo in Quebec and the differentiation between the two companies, how they work with Lallemand yeast, why Canadian breweries should use Canadian yeast, how to make Vegemite with yeast, and why breweries should buy professional yeast for their beers. They got into some great beers using their products - Fairweather x BAOS Podcast Purish Kiwi Common, Royal City x Escarpment Labs Luminance Double IPA, Royal City Mark It Zero Non-Alcoholic IPA, and Great Lakes Electric Spritz Hard Seltzer. This was fascinating - cheers! BAOS Podcast Subscribe to the podcast on YouTube | Website | Theme tune: Cee - BrewHeads

In an industry with no shortage of hop lovers, Tom Shellhammer's interest in the wondrous plant goes further than most. The Professor of Fermentation Science at Oregon State University is an internationally-recognised expert in hops chemistry who frequently travels the globe to provide his insights into all things hops. Indeed, as this podcast goes live, Tom is spending a multi-month sabbatical in New Zealand in order to better understand the industry there. Taking advantage of his time Down Under, we caught up with him during the Chartered Institute of Brewing and Distilling's 2025 Asia Pacific Convention in Hobart. There, Will and Craig chatted to Tom about his fields of interest, including how terroir and the moment within harvest that hops are picked can impact the flavours and aromas brewers are able to elicit from different varieties.Ahead of the main interview, James and Will chat about some sobering recent news, with Molly Rose appointing liquidators and Currumbin Valley closing the doors of their Gold Coast operation for good.

This episode features a conversation with the legendary Teri Fahrendorf, the long-time brewmaster and founder of Pink Boots Society. She's here for a wide ranging conversation about her career, brewery safety, recipe development, creativity, and forging a path in the beer industry.After a storied career in beer, Fahrendorf recently entered a working retirement. She's helmed breweries, judged competitions around the world, and founded the Pink Boots Society, which she later ran for nearly a decade. She's been a safety advocate, outspoken critic, historian, and sounding board in her more than 30 year career. After countless brew days and then a turn selling raw ingredients, she's focused today on her art, crafting pottery from her studio in the pacific northwest. It's another creative outlet for this one-time computer programmer who forged a career through determination and will when the craft brewing industry was still in its infancy. She joined the show in early January 2024 to share some stories and insights, more of which can be found on her her blog and website terifahrendorf.com Fahrendorf isn't leaving beer completely – she says she still plans to judge competitions and stay involved in various other ways, but for the first time since the 1980s bee is not her primary job focus. This seems like a good time for an introspective.

We're talking Pink…Pink Boots, that is! The Pink Boots Society DC Chapter works daily to make beer more approachable and inclusive. Brandy talks with Pink Boots leaders Bri Turner and Paulette Palacios about how Pink Boots is creating a more inclusive beer community in DC and embracing people from all backgrounds and fermentations. They share how they're empowering students to get into beer, their hopes for more cultural flavors that reflect the cultural diversity of the DC region, and the question we all have, what will the Pink Boots International Womens Day beer be? In other news, the gang talks about brewery collaboration beers they're loving, their favorite beers of the season, and the beer events to warm us up in these chilly months.

Before a studio audience at The Stacks at 3 Crossings, in Pittsburgh's historic Strip District, the Drinking Partners are live from Barrel & Flow, the country's premiere Black arts and craft beer festival. Before the 75 breweries and a crowd of thousands arrive, Ed and Day sit down with two New England brewers who are redefining how beer is made and who it is for. The first guest is Alisa Bowens-Mercado [7:00], CEO and brewmaster of Connecticut's Rhythm Brewing Co. She discusses how contract brewing is “a beautiful thing,” and how hard it can be to find Black folks and “beer-flavored beer” in New England. Then, the group is joined by Sam Adams Boston head brewer, Megan Parisi [34:57]. She and Bowens-Mercado discuss representation in the craft beer industry, how the unlikely relationship between their discrepant breweries emerged, and their recent, Pink Boots-benefitting sparkling lager collab. It's a perspective on the industry that's not always told, and there's no better place for this vital discussion. Recording: Barrel & Flow Fest 8-30-22. Production: Epicast. Guests: Alisa Bowens-Mercado of Rhythm Brewing Co.; Megan Parisi of Sam Adams Boston Brewery.
Listen, I know it can seem like some of us at San Diego Magazine basically eat tacos and taste beer for a living. But it's in pursuit of the story. Whatever it takes to get to the grist of it all. For you. You deserve this. And if that raises our BAC a tad, we're there for you. For Stone Brewing's Laura Ulrich, on the other hand, sampling IPAs is a major part of a hard day's work. Officially one of Stone's “small batch brewers,” it's Laura's job to research and develop new suds, tweaking recipes—and naming brews after her favorite songs—using Stone's seven-barrel system in Escondido. She devised two new versions of our beloved Delicious IPA: Delicious Citrus and Delicious Double, both as perfect with a Wagyu patty as their forerunner. Laura's now one of the key creatives in the Stone brewing operation. But it didn't happen overnight. She started out 19 years ago on the packaging line. She was a brewer, then a brewery trainer, before landing her spot among the small-batch masterminds. “I've seen the whole house,” she says. Laura's also a founding member of Pink Boots Society, a nonprofit that highlights women's contributions to craft beer, as well as wine, spirits, and other brews. The org offers scholarships to help close the industry's education gap and holds brew days for women to come together and invent new blends. Laura also heads Women of Stone, inspiring, supporting, and promoting the company's women employees and brainstorming ways to draw more women to Stone. The mission, she says, is to make sure that women know, “in craft beer, there's a place for you.” Troy and David sat down with Laura in the heart of Stone's Balboa Park bistro to eat burgers, drink Delicious IPA, and learn about Laura's envy-inducing job and her work to shatter her industry's glass ceiling. Her tip for aspiring beer makers: Make sure you've got a professional email. Laura reveals that Stone nearly passed on her application after taking a peek at her Yahoo handle. (For what it's worth, Laura, I would immediately buy IPAs from anyone contacting me from “hippiestink@something.com”) In news, New York institution Prince Street Pizza touches down in downtown San Diego; local chefs settle old beef with hot lamb (there will probably be lamb) on new Food Network series Superchef Grudge Match; formerly of La Dona in O.B., the hard-working chef Gaby Lopez helms a new namesake restaurant, Casa Gabriela in La Mesa; and Heritage Barbeque launches 10,000 square feet of beer and Texas brisket in Oceanside. This week's “Two People, Fifty Bucks” will make you crave Italian: Laura's filling up on bread and burrata at Tribute Pizza; David's ordering ahead at Little Italy's Mona Lisa; and Troy embraces balance this wellness month by pairing bike rides with lardo pizza at Cardellino. See ya next week.
