POPULARITY
Would you pay more for sustainably brewed beer?We made it through another week and we have definitely earned a beer or five. It's hawt in Georgia. We're supposed to top 100° heat index this weekend. Say a prayer for us.A survey suggests 50% of beer drinkers would pay 30% more for a beer that was sustainably brewed. I'm skeptical of those results, but that's what the survey says. Sustainably seems to be a goal of nearly every brewer now so I kind of expect my brewery is trying to be sustainable. How about you?No more "best by" dates! We have to take a stand, y'all. Breweries have to start putting canning dates on cans. None of this best by stuff that you have to decipher. What do they consider best by? 3 months, 4 months, 6 months? Just tell me when you put that juice in the can and I'll make my own decision, thank you very much.Following up on our discussion of adding a bit of saline solution to cocktails, Brian experimented with adding some distilled water to whisk(e)y. He says a bit of water really does open them up and can take a really good rye or bourbon to great. I'll have to play around some more. Based on previous tests I haven't found one I like more once it's been diluted a bit. Maybe I wasn't doing it right.More news on Anchor Brewing as the deal with Chobani's founder moves along, a brew fest in Chicago that's been delayed for 4 years with no word from the organizer (and no refunds), and some chatter on the delicious contraband that is Cuban rum and cigars.Next week we'll talk with Michael Lundmark of Jekyll Brewing. One of our local joints. Despite many others closing up shop, Jekyll is expanding. We'll find out what he's secret is. Cheers! Make sure you drink something good this weekend!Beers of the WeekSmith & Lentz - Quackenbruck Pilsner (German Pils w/Sapphir)Good Word - Ron's Dinner AleCreated with the British beer writer Ron Pattinson.

Welcome to we are beer people, a podcast all about the many different people who help us enjoy beer.One of the things I love about beer and brewing is that it is of its time, of its place and of its people. We can look into a brewery – see why it brews certain beers, what was popular, who was making it, where the ingredients came from and how it was brewed - and it tells us so much about the time, the place and the people. That's why I'm really excited to speak with today's guest, Ron Pattinson. Ron's a beer writer and a beer historian – well known for researching uncovering, deciphering and documenting historical beer styles and brewing practices.That's no mean feat, when you might have to navigate a brewery's idiosyncratic archives take thousands of notes and photos and make sense of large amounts of data recorded and stored with variable consistency. You might have heard of him from his website Shut Up About Barclay Perkins or his publications, which range from the homebrewers' guide to vintage beer to city and country guides around Europe.So let's head into the archives and have a chat with one of the beer people about the beer and its place in history.

[Warning: raw audio of spotty quality] In this Pod Extra, Jeff interviews legendary London brewer Derek Prentice, beer historian Ron Pattinson, and Goose Island Innovation Brewer Mike Siegel. They teamed up on a special project to recreate a 1960s barley wine made by London's now-defunct Truman brewery--where Derek started brewing in 1968, Double Eagle combines a wood-aged barley wine inoculated with wild yeast (Brett C), blended with fresh barley wine. In the interview, Jeff learns about the history of the beer, Derek's career, and many other lovely tidbits along the way. It is the raw audio, so there's no intro or outro.

Bars and pubs might feel like they're stuck on another planet at the moment, but space and time are no boundary for Radio Oedipus. We take a trip down memory lane with beer historian Ron Pattison to discuss the yesterday, today and tomorrow of drinking culture.

"I’ve become a traditionalist. I’m more interested in going backwards,” says Mike Karnowski, founder of Zebulon Artisan Ales (http://www.zebulonbrewing.com). “As I see what craft beer is turning into, I’m turning around and running back to the 1800s.” Karnowski loves exploring the rich history of brewing, working together with brewing historian Ron Pattinson to re-create recipes from the forgotten brew logs of the past three centuries. At a time when “innovation” tends to mean jumping on the latest trend, Zebulon instead looks backward, creating engaging beers that tell stories and shine light on periods in brewing history. It’s an unusual approach to “innovation,” but it's one that has found a growing audience, as a subset of beer fans pivot from the pop hits of today and seek connection to brewing’s past. To realize that creative vision, Karnowski has kept Zebulon purposefully small—a seven-barrel brewhouse produces limited runs of each beer, and the brewery employs just Mike and his wife Gabe. Together, they do it all, from brewing to packaging to compliance to taxes, and even manning the bar for the limited taproom hours every week. They may be focused, but they’re not crazy; they understand that the key to being free to explore these pathways in brewing is to keep the overhead low. In this episode, Karnowski talks about his experience brewing a number of historical beers, from imperial-strength 19th century “mild” that bears little resemblance to its current definition, to 1750s beers with smoked malt, an extremely low-ABV WWI-era beer that resembles beer-flavored seltzer, and post-war IPA that would be unrecognizable to IPA drinkers today. Along the way, he discusses producing diastatic brown malt, how to create invert sugars necessary to brew historic English styles, using black malt without the associated off flavors, and more. *This episode is brought to you by: * G&D Chillers (https://gdchillers.com): Nearly 2,000 breweries across the US, Canada & Mexico partner with G&D Chillers.

Obadiah Poundage is a recreation of a nineteenth century porter and the result of years of work and a collaboration between Mike Siegel (Goose Island, Chicago), Ron Pattinson (beer historian) and Derek Prentice (London brewing legend). All three came together at the Goose Island Brew Pub in Shoreditch to launch the beer and tell some of the many stories associated with it. In this live recording of the launch event you can expect tales of London brewing and the shattering of a few beery myths!

Today’s episode is the second we’ve done with this duo of Mike Siegel of Goose Island and Ron Pattinson, beer historian, writer, and a collaborator on a recipe revival project of sorts. Way back in 2016 we invited these two over to the studio to discuss their Brewery Yard Stock Pale Ale, a barrel-aged brett pale reminiscent of what a beer brewed in England over a century ago may have been like according to their research. Today’s conversation is about a new beer called Obadiah Poundage, which isn’t trying to replicate a recipe so much as try to approximate what a porter might have tasted like if it were brewed in London in 1840. These beers have both been fascinating, not only for their history and story, but the final product itself. They taste and feel familiar, but with an edge that’s entirely foreign. Like a bizarro world version of a beer you think you know. Sometimes that’s an ingredient choice, or a process decision, or in some cases, a fermentation character that’s just slightly outside the norm. All of it adding up to a wholly enjoyable, yet intriguing version of, in this case, a porter. I love getting these two guys together—you can see the child-like excitement that comes out of their shared passion for these collaborations. It’s a great reminder of how genuinely fun beer, brewing, and history can be when it all comes together in a project like this. This is Ron Pattinson and Mike Siegel, listen in.
Join us for a special show with Dr. Brian Alberts and Liz Garibay from the Chicago Beer + Culture Project and The Brewseum.

Ron Pattinson joins us to talk about his latest publication in the MBAA Technical Quarterly. Abstract: Through research in German-language technical publications, such as brewing textbooks and chemical journals, this paper has assembled considerable information about German sour beer styles. Much of this material has never been available in English before, and the author has personally translated them from German. This paper will discuss information on the brewing techniques employed in producing these mostly extinct beer styles and details such as the original gravity and alcohol content. This latter information mostly comes from 19th century German chemical journals, which often published chemical analyses of German beers. This material demonstrates how many sour styles there once were in Germany and how common they were in some parts of the country. Links: MBAA TQ: German Sour Beers of the Late 19th Century

Jeff and Patrick take a deep dive into Stock Ale - an historic beer style recently revived by beer historian Ron Pattinson and Goose Island. They discuss the history of the style, the process of reviving a dead style, and the process by which Pattinson and Goose Island re-created a version of Stock Ale. Includes interviews with Ron Pattinson and Mike Siegel, Goose Island Brewing Innovation Manager.
A while back, when we were shooting Grit & Grain in the Goose Island barrel warehouse, there were a series of barrels set aside for a special project lead by Innovation Manager, Mike Siegel. All I knew at the time was that it was a Brett Pale Ale of sorts. Other details were kept close. Today, I got to taste the final results of that experimental beer. But more importantly, I got the back story on the collaboration between Goose Island and beer historian Ron Pattinson—who, over the years, has worked with a number of breweries to re-create ancient recipes down to the tiniest of details. Ron is a prolific writer. He's got a number of books and magazine articles under his belt, and a website that’s about as old as ours is going on 10 years now. Mike Siegel, who you may recall from episode 28 of the GBH podcast, leads innovation at Goose Island’s Fulton Street brewery in Chicago. Between them, I got a couple of words in. But mostly, I tried to clear the way for some of their deeper insight into the challenges—and the fun—of bringing a recipe like English Stock Yard Ale to life.

Dan Saladino meets the brewers transforming the flavours and styles of the British craft beer scene. From experiments with seaweed to efforts to find lost Victorian recipes, it's a diverse and fast moving world, so where are the new ideas for beer coming from and which brewers are leading the way?The award winning beer writer Pete Brown has described 2014 as the year in which craft beer has gone mainstream. A term first used to describe the renaissance of American brewing in the 1980's "craft" refers to smaller scale breweries, producing in small batches and often working with beer styles packed with flavour.In the last ten years the overall beer market has crashed by 25 per cent. Although cask ale is holding its own, the beer of this new wave of "craft brewers" is growing at around 70 per cent, year on year. The Food Programme finds out who is behind this trend and what kind of beers they're producing.Dan hears from Brewdog in Scotland, Thornbridge in Derbyshire, Wild Beer Co in Somerset as well as The Kernel and Meantime breweries in London to hear why sour beers, German styles and Saisons are the order of the day.Beer archivist Ron Pattinson talks about his efforts to revive some of Britain's lost beer recipes and Garrett Oliver, editor of The Oxford Companion to Beer, explains why experiments in yeast are giving us new beers flavours.From Copenhagen the man behind the Mikkeller brewery describes why he never brews the same beer twice and why seaweed, popcorn and vanilla are on his list of ingredients.Produced and presented by Dan Saladino.
Dive deep into beer history this week on a special episode of Beer Sessions Radio with Jimmy Carbone and friends. Jimmy’s joined by special guest Ron Pattinson, who writes the “Shut up about Barclay Perkins” blog and is the author of The Home Brewer’s Guide to Vintage Beer: Rediscovered Recipes for Classic Brews Dating from 1800 to 1965. Tune in and learn about the origins of beers like East India Porter and India Pale Ale and get some great historical anecdotes along the way. Also hear from Dan Paquette of Pretty Things and author Jon Holl. This program was sponsored by GreatBrewers.com. “The name East India Porter pre-dates India Pale Ale. IPA wasn’t used until the 1820’s, whereas India Porter dates back to 1804. It’s a beer with a pretty long history – and probably fits in very well with modern tastes.” — Ron Pattinson on Beer Sessions Radio “If a beer was crappy in 1950 – it should be crappy today!” — Dan Paquette on Beer Ssssions Radio
