This beer [jalapeño saison] has fresh jalapeños, agave, candy sugar- things that if you were doing it on a brewery level are going to cost you a whole lot, but if you’re doing it on a one gallon scale, a little agave from your kitchen isn’t going to increase costs by that much.” — Erica Shea on Beer Sessions Radio “I think making craft beer at home influence is taking on more inspiration from food by using real ingredients.” — Stephen Valand on Beer Sessions Radio “Beer drinking is about community, and there’s a certain soulfulness that isn’t present in everything that you can do with your time.” — Christian DeBenedetti on Beer Sessions Radio
