The late biologist E.O. Wilson said that “the real problem of humanity is the following: We have Paleolithic emotions, medieval institutions, and god-like technology. And it is terrifically dangerous.” Wilson said that back in 2011, long before any of us were talking about large language models or GPTs. A little more than a decade later, artificial intelligence is already completely transforming our world. Practitioners and experts have compared A.I. to the advent of electricity and fire itself. “God-like” doesn't seem that far off. Even sober experts predict disease cures and radically expanded lifespans, real-time disaster prediction and response, the elimination of language barriers, and other earthly miracles. A.I. is amazing, in the truest sense of that word. It is also leading some to predict nothing less than a crisis in what it means to be human in an age of brilliant machines. Others—including some of the people creating this technology—predict our possible extinction as a species. But you don't have to go quite that far to imagine the way it will transform our relationship toward information and our ability to pursue the truth. For tens of thousands of years, since humans started to stand upright and talk to each other, we've found our way to wisdom through disagreement and debate. But in the age of A.I., our sources of truth are machines that spit out the information we already have, reflecting our biases and our blind spots. What happens to truth when we no longer wrestle with it—and only receive it passively? When disagreeable, complicated human beings are replaced with A.I. chatbots that just tell us what we want to hear? It makes today's concerns about misinformation and disinformation seem quaint. Our ability to detect whether something is real or an A.I.-generated fabrication is approaching zero. And unlike social media—a network of people that we instinctively know can be wrong—A.I. systems have a veneer of omniscience, despite being riddled with the biases of the humans who trained them. Meanwhile, a global arms race is underway, with the U.S. and China competing to decide who gets to control the authoritative information source of the future. So last week Bari traveled to San Francisco to host a debate on whether this remarkable, revolutionary technology will enhance our understanding of the world and bring us closer to the truth . . .or do just the opposite. The resolution: The Truth Will Survive Artificial Intelligence! Aravind Srinivas argued yes—the truth will survive A.I. Aravind is the CEO of one of the most exciting companies in this field, Perplexity, which he co-founded in 2022 after working at OpenAI, Google, and DeepMind.  Aravind was joined by Dr. Fei-Fei Li. Fei-Fei is a professor of computer science at Stanford, the founding co-director of the Stanford Institute for Human-Centered A.I., and the CEO and co-founder of World Labs, an A.I. company focusing on spatial intelligence and generative A.I.  Jaron Lanier argued that no, the truth will not survive A.I. Jaron is a computer scientist, best-selling author, and the founder of VPL Research, the first company to sell virtual reality products. Jaron was joined by Nicholas Carr, the author of countless best-selling books on the human consequences of technology, including Pulitzer Prize finalist The Shallows, The Glass Cage, and, most recently, Superbloom. He also writes the wonderful Substack New Cartographies. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Ravi welcomes Nicholas Carr to discuss his thought-provoking new book, Superbloom, which examines how social media and digital communication have reshaped human relationships and society. They dive into the history of communication technologies and explore the deeper issues of modern society's dependence on these tools. Carr challenges the idea that more communication is always better, stressing the need for balance between digital interaction and real human connection. The conversation also touches on legal frameworks governing digital communication, the challenges of regulation, and the role of both individual and collective responsibility in managing the age of digital distraction, division, and constant information overload. Together, they explore possible paths forward for a healthier relationship with technology.

Faster, easier communication was supposed to make the world better. Instead, it made us miserable. How did we get here, and what can we do about it? For answers, we turn to Nicholas Carr, author of the new book “Superbloom.”

Faster, easier communication was supposed to make the world better. Instead, it made us miserable. How did we get here, and what can we do about it? For answers, we turn to Nicholas Carr, author of the new book “Superbloom.”

Michael welcomes Nicholas Carr, author of "Superbloom: How Technologies of Connection Tear Us Apart," a bracing exploration of how social media has warped our sense of self and society. From the telegraph and telephone in the 1800s to the internet and social media in our own day, the public has welcomed new communication systems. Whenever people gain more power to share information, the assumption goes, society prospers. Superbloom tells a startlingly different story. As communication becomes more mechanized and efficient, it breeds confusion more than understanding, strife more than harmony. A celebrated commentator on the human consequences of technology, Nicholas Carr reorients the conversation around modern communication, challenging some of our most cherished beliefs about self-expression, free speech, and media democratization. Original air date 30 January 2025. The book was published on 28 January 2025.

There has been a lot of cultural discussion of the way digital technologies and social media contribute to things like political polarization and adolescent depression.But as I'll explore with Nicholas Carr, the author of Superbloom, our digital tools are also changing our ability to connect with others and our sense of self in less appreciated ways.Today on the show, Nicholas unpacks why the optimistic idea that more communication is always better hasn't panned out and how the speed and volume of modern communication is overwhelming our human capacity to process information and maintain meaningful relationships. We discuss why the "messiness" of pre-digital communication might have actually been better for us, how email has evolved from thoughtful letters to rushed messages, and why seeing more of people online often makes us like them less. Nicholas also explains why having different versions of ourselves for different contexts was actually healthy and the simple rubric for better managing our relationship with digital communication tools.Resources Related to the PodcastNicholas' previous appearances on the AoM podcast:Episode #276: Utopia is CreepyEpisode #632: How the Internet Makes Our Minds ShallowCharles Horton CooleyAoM Article: More Than Ever, the Medium Is the MessageConnect With Nicholas CarrNicholas' websiteNicholas' Substack, New Cartographies

Today on AirTalk, we'll start by talking to County Supervisors for any fire-related updates. Trump has put a freeze on federal funding, what does that mean for the people who depend on it? An author will be previewing his new book about socializing in a digital age. We're taking a look at the implications of Trump's recent executive order on sex and gender with a legal expert. A new study finds a morning-after pill that can be used, in higher doses, as an abortion drug. We'll end the show talking with listeners about the dumbest arguments they have ever had with their partners.

A new book by the Pulitzer Prize finalist Nicholas Carr is always a major event. And today's release of SUPERBLOOM: How Technologies of Connection Tear Us Apart offers a prescient critique of our social media age. As Carr explains, our assumption that more communication leads to better understanding is fundamentally wrong. Instead, he suggests that excessive communication through digital platforms actually tears people apart. Carr's use of the “Superbloom” metaphor refers to an actual 2019 event in Southern California where people flocked to photograph wildflowers for social media, trampling the actual flowers in pursuit of the perfect image. Carr uses this as a metaphor for how we increasingly experience reality through online media rather than directly. Carr challenges the idea that new communication technologies automatically bring people together, noting how previous innovations like the telegraph and telephone came with similar utopian promises that were never fulfilled. He argues that modern smartphones and social media have created an unprecedented environment where we're constantly connected and socializing, which conflicts with how humans evolved to interact in bounded, physical spaces. Rather than offering simple solutions, Carr advocates for more mindful technology use and speculates that future generations might reject constant digital connectivity in favor of more meaningful direct experiences.Nicholas Carr writes about the human consequences of technology. His books, including the Pulitzer Prize finalist The Shallows: What the Internet Is Doing to Our Brains and the forthcoming Superbloom: How Technologies of Connection Tear Us Apart, have been translated into more than twenty-five languages. He has recently been a visiting professor of sociology at Williams College, and earlier in his career he was executive editor of the Harvard Business Review. In 2015, he received the Neil Postman Award for Career Achievement in Public Intellectual Activity from the Media Ecology Association. He writes the Substack newsletter New Cartographies. A New York Times bestseller when it was first published in 2010 and now hailed as “a modern classic,” Carr's The Shallows remains a touchstone for debates on the internet's effects on our thoughts and perceptions. A second edition of The Shallows, updated with a new chapter, was published in 2020. Carr's 2014 book The Glass Cage: Automation and Us, which the New York Review of Books called a “chastening meditation on the human future,” examines the personal and social consequences of our ever growing dependency on computers, robots, and artificial intelligence. His latest book, Utopia Is Creepy, published in 2016, collects his best essays, blog posts, and other writings from the past dozen years. The collection is “by turns wry and revelatory,” wrote Discover. Carr is also the author of two other influential books, The Big Switch: Rewiring the World, from Edison to Google (2008), which the Financial Times called “the best read so far about the significance of the shift to cloud computing,” and Does IT Matter? (2004).Named as one of the "100 most connected men" by GQ magazine, Andrew Keen is amongst the world's best known broadcasters and commentators. In addition to presenting KEEN ON, he is the host of the long-running How To Fix Democracy show. He is also the author of four prescient books about digital technology: CULT OF THE AMATEUR, DIGITAL VERTIGO, THE INTERNET IS NOT THE ANSWER and HOW TO FIX THE FUTURE.

At its height, Pompano Beach's Odd Breed in Pompano Beach was one of the best-regarded breweries in Florida, winning four GABF medals over a span of three years, and shipping mixed-culture beers to fans around the world. However, real-estate market forces ultimately worked against the niche brewery, and founder and brewer Matt Manthe closed up shop in the summer of 2024. That's no reason not to talk brewing, however, and Manthe learned plenty over his years shepherding his mixed cultures from homebrew to commercial scale, changing and adapting processes along the way. While he's now brewing classic lager and ale styles in the mountains of Colorado—at Dillon Dam, about 70 miles west of Denver—mixed-culture beers still hold a strong place in his heart. In this episode, he discusses: building a mixed culture through homebrewing shifting from mixed-culture to Saccharomyces fermentation to control acid production choosing primary strains, from London Ale III to 34/70, to optimize flavor, manage acidity, and more boosting hops with specific flavors and aromas for fermentation precursors challenges with fruit processing and refermentation the importance of not letting barrels sit unfilled blending very different base beers to achieve a finished product that's greater than the sum of its parts And more.

Mark it down: Baltic Porter Day this year is January 18, always the third Saturday of this month. This year's will be the 10th edition of a commemoration that began in 2016 in Poland, where rich, hefty, cool-fermented porters reign supreme. Marcin Chmielarz has worn many hats in the industry—bar manager, brewer, video blogger—but one of his most notable achievements is helping to draw Poland's attention to its own distinctive porters. In this episode, Chmielarz digs into the history of the style from the Polish perspective, while also highlighting the ingredients and techniques behind it—featuring great malt complexity but smooth character, high gravities, and patient fermentation with lager yeast. He also discusses modern iterations, including those that are dry-hopped, barrel-aged, or flavored with ingredients such as Polish smoked plums. Along the way, the conversation also hits upon: Baltic porter as a worthy technical challenge for brewers the origins of porter in Poland and the Baltic region why brewers in the region shifted to using lager yeast the importance of both balance and richness in the malt bill brewing Baltic porter with smoked malt the challenges of barrel-aging Baltic porter what happens on Baltic Porter Day, in Poland and beyond And more.

The city of Grodzisk Wielkopolski was once a major center of brewing in 19th century Poland, but political unrest, world wars, communism, and then misguided capitalism all played parts in closing the previous chapter of the city's brewing history in the early 90's. But the rise of craft beer also led to a resurgence in interest for obscure styles like the smoked wheat beer that made the city famous, and by 2016 a new group of owners relaunched the original Grodzisk brewery (https://browargrodzisk.com) with a heartfelt mission—to share this homegrown Polish beer style with the world. In this episode, head brewer Marcin Ostajewski shares history and process for the style, as well as ways that modern brewers are keeping the style vibrant and alive through modern variations. Through the episode, Ostajewski discusses: rebuilding the historical grodziskie recipe through historical sleuthing and first hand reports cofermenting grodziskie with two ale yeasts over hundreds of generations brewing with tomyski hops working with a maltster to produce oak smoked wheat malt where the malt is dried through the smoking process rather than smoked after kilning using long mashes to insure success brewing grodziskie with aged hops for additional preservative qualities from beta acids polishing the beer's clarity to reduce potential foaming with the very high carbonation brewing modern flavored versions of grodziskie And more.

“When you're doing a triple decoction and you don't have [a direct-fire kettle], you're just burning gas.” —Adam Huml It's easy to lump Czech brewers into the “historical” category, and while a number of prominent brewers in the country do focus intently on the lagers we all love, a growing contingent is also tackling evolving styles like hazy IPA, fruited sour, pastry stout, and more. Zichovec, in Louny, is one of those breweries—lager is still their largest category, but they're not locked solely into traditional styles, and they've been seeing just how far they can go in making trendier styles, like hazy IPA, but with Czech ingredients and processes. In this episode, they discuss: brewing with experimental Czech hops testing decoction impacts through triangle testing adding barley flakes to reduce modification in lager grain bills favorite newer Saaz varieties for lager brewing brewing fresh hop Czech pale lager the necessity of a direct-fire kettle for true decoction hazy IPA with modern Czech hop varieties like Ceres and Saturna using enzymes to unlock thiols brewing with help And more.

Kevin Ely spent many years running the brewhouse at Uinta's production brewery in Salt Lake City, but family brought him to a farm in rural eastern Ohio. Built next to the farm where his wife grew up, Wooly Pig (https://www.woolypigfarmbrewery.com) Farm Brewery is the result of applying big-brewery-systems thinking to the smallest, most self-sufficient farm scale. From embracing the imperfect but interesting well water on the farm to side-streaming brewhouse waste via their drove of Mangalica pigs, he's using every tool available to reduce waste and costs while making the highest-quality beer. In this episode, Ely discusses: making farmhouse lagers on a small scale without sacrificing quality gently handling everything—from milling grains to fermenting beer via carefully boiled wort—for a more delicate beer using slightly higher-kilned pilsner malt for better flavor and fullness building character into dunkel with rye malt evaluating water sources and managing their unusual well water creating engaging beer experiences at the farm using livestock to process organic waste from the brewery And more.

Barrel-aging is nothing new for Firestone Walker's (https://www.firestonewalker.com) Matt Brynildson. He got his first exposure to the process while working for barrel-aging pioneer Goose Island in Chicago, and for the better part of two decades has been exploring the impact of wood, aging, and blending in the development of beer flavor at Firestone Walker. A post-pandemic initiative at the Paso Robles brewery, the Brewmaster's Collective (https://www.firestonewalker.com/brewmasters-collective/), has created new occasions to explore processes and approaches through collaborations with a range of brewer friends, and in this episode Brynildson is joined by two collaborators—Henok Fentie of Stockholm, Sweden's Omnipollo (https://www.fraugruber-craftbrewing.com), and Enzo Frauenschuh of Gundelfingen, Germany's FrauGruber (https://www.fraugruber-craftbrewing.com). Together, they take a look at the similarities and differences in barrel-aged stout brewing in the United States and Europe. Along the way, they discuss: building recipes that can support strong flavors finding the balance between sweetness and drinkability artful flavor composition maintaining some semblance of house character through collaborations expressing barrel notes cleanly through lean and well-attenuated beers temperature impact on barrel expression varying ingredients based on the continent developing flavorful bases both through English malts and with blends of Pilsner and Munich malts managing barrel-entry gravity for long term success planning for adjuncts in recipe design adjunct addition processes and extraction efficiency And more.

At the recent Brewer's Retreat at Dogfish Head (https://www.dogfish.com) in Milton, Delaware, Steve Parker of Fidens (https://www.fidensbrewing.com) (Albany, New York), Scott Janish of Sapwood Cellars (https://sapwoodcellars.com) (Columbia, Maryland), and Kelsey McNair of North Park (https://www.northparkbeerco.com) (San Diego) answer questions about brewing hazy or New England–style IPA. In this episode, they discuss: points of difference in West and East Coast hazy iterations balancing high finishing gravities with additional bitterness from the dry hop eliminating malt complexity and maximizing light color promoting biotransformation through whirlpool hops rather than active-fermentation dry hopping maximizing extraction in dry hopping using novel products to remove oxidative metals in hazy IPA optimizing polyphenols necessary for haze while minimizing “hop burn” pushing hop saturation with flowable hop products And more.

As a trained food scientist with 20 years of experience in the field, Eric Tennant entered the brewing world with a bit more background than most. And that background has served him well, as he considers both ingredients and processes required to achieve the beer flavors he envisions. Over the past few years, he's focused Benchtop (https://benchtopbrewing.com) around foeder-aged lagers, but the constraints of the small brewery have led to a number of innovative process solutions. The techniques that he applies are making award-winning beer, too—Benchtop just recently took home a silver medal in Zwickelbier or Kellerbier at GABF, and their barrel-aged barleywine, Old Wooden Ship, was one of Craft Beer & Brewing's 20 best beers of 2023. In this episode, Tennant discusses: crafting a hybrid approach to lager that's part Czech, and part German decocting in a brewhouse not designed for it polishing beer through lagering without head pressure in oak foeders increasing IBUs in lager recipes to offset the mellowing effect of foeder aging double batching with different recipes optimized for two different mash processes checking COAs and manipulating mashes to fit the malt protecting foam potential when wood aging brewing barrel-aged English barleywine And more.

This second of two episodes recorded live at 3 Sons Lumberjack Day in September includes two separate interviews. First up is Alex Lawes, cofounder of Dublin, Ireland's Whiplash (https://www.whiplashbeer.com)—a modern brewery known for progressive styles, but also one that focuses on making those styles in low-ABV form for repeat drinkability. Next up is Grzegorz Ziemian, cofounder of Stu Mostów (https://100mostow.pl/en/), a decade-old brewery in Wrocław, Poland, and one of several in that country that helped usher in a new wave of excitement for craft beer. Through the discussion, among other topics, Lawes touches on: using a mash press filter to improve efficiency but also protect delicate flavors the impact of the mash filter on enzyme availability and mash times dialing in pressure to suit the needs of specific styles, such as hazy IPA achieving a more concentrated imperial stout wort without long boils managing hop creep in low-ABV beers building a better recipe for dry Irish stout the beauty of 2.8 percent ABV “micro” IPA Meanwhile, Ziemian discusses: recreating historical recipes such as schöps building a mixed-fermentation brewery in 2022 widening the range of grodziskie via mixed fermentation Baltic porter in Poland And more.

In Oakland Park, Florida, Brewlihan (https://www.brewlihan.com) meadery sits in rarified air atop Untappd's list of top breweries in the world. Their rabid fan base has propelled them to No. 5—as of this recording—a ranking that founder John Hoolihan doesn't take for granted, as he continually applies science and chemistry to balance flavor, acidity, gravity, and tannin. In this episode, recorded live during the 3 Sons (https://www.3sonsbrewingco.com) Lumberjack Day festival, Hoolihan discusses: growing the meadery from a homebrewing project to a commercial business designing a base mead for multiple fruit expressions using carbonation and oak-aging in session mead flavor contributions of various honey varieties healthy but low-and-slow fermentation with 14 yeast varieties scaling mead from homebrew to commercial batch sizes mead fermentation dynamics communicating the sweetness levels of finished meads working with tannin and tartness to balance sweetness the impact of acidity on aging And more.

As Andrew Foss of Human Robot (https://www.humanrobotbeer.com) says in this episode, “Perfection is pretty easy. To make something interesting is hard.” Those are easy words to say and harder words to brew by, but the Philadelphia brewer strives for character over lager “cleanliness,” eschewing the “crispy” moniker while searching for something more substantial. To accomplish that goal, he uses every tool at their disposal—mash and decoction regimens, a direct-fire brewhouse, a number of different fermentation schedules, and more. Character, after all, requires intention and effort, and not just homogeneity or simplicity. In this episode, Foss talks about: using a direct-fire mash-mixer and decoction in concert with an array of different malts to produce characterful European-style lagers rethinking mash strategies designed for older malts adjusting the decoction process based on intentions for aroma and flavor building “the wave” in lager mouthfeel dialing in pH for expressive but cohesive lagers differentiating between final gravity and mouthfeel aroma contributions from direct-fire brewhouses embracing inconsistent malt for more flavorful European-style lagers going beyond “clean” And more.

While Garrett Oliver of Brooklyn Brewery (https://brooklynbrewery.com) and Vinnie Cilurzo of Russian River (https://www.russianriverbrewing.com) need little introduction, the grain they've grown fond of brewing with—an African millet grain named fonio—may be unfamiliar to many brewers. In this episode, the two legends of brewing discuss the background of the grain and how and why they've used it in a series of new beers, produced for the Brewing for Impact (https://brooklynbrewery.com/news/brewing-for-impact-russian-river/) project. Along the way, Oliver and Cilurzo touch on: the limiting impact of our western industrialized food system the history and nature of fonio grain farming and climate benefits of fonio using fonio as a brewing component at various percentages fonio's unusual amino acid-like bitterness the impact on FAN in finished beer and its implications for potential stability and longevity a basic step mash regimen for Belgian pale with fonio the sauvignon blanc-like flavors that fonio can produce nearly clear beer made from 100% fonio And more.

Paul Schneider of Cinderlands (https://www.cinderlands.com) is an optimist and a realist—but first and foremost he's an analyst, studying the evolution of consumer trends and working tirelessly in the brewhouse to find creative and process solutions. He's not afraid to use all the tools at his disposal—pulling solutions from food science, where necessary—while testing, honestly evaluating, and ensuring that everything they produce at Cinderlands meets the expectations of their drinkers. The Pittsburgh brewery drastically overhauled its fruit beer program for 2024, moving away from sweeter, thicker fruit beers in favor of flavored light lagers and “beyond beer” beverages, but—as Schneider explains in this episode—that shift required significant research in the food-science space. He's also been an avid adopter of modern hop products, and here he shares their approach to layering hops in a variety of formats to achieve a variety of goals—from value-engineering IPAs for wider distribution to maximizing intensity in brewery-only releases. Over the course of the episode, Schneider riffs on: designing fruit beers to hit different value tiers without sacrificing flavor altering processes and bitterness in base recipes for balance with specific fruit additions light lager as a base for fruit beer sourcing juice and purée concentrate for more survivable and ranging fruit flavors and aromas using natural flavor top-notes in conjunction with other fruit formats adjusting dosing down in production batches from bench trials using flavor psychology to bolster fruit flavors without sugar value-engineering hop flavors and aromas for production IPAs without sacrificing quality saturating hop notes in the UHD (Ultra Hop Definition) series And more.

Great Lakes (https://www.greatlakesbrewing.com) in Cleveland is an American craft beer institution—a brewery that got its start in the late '80s, when the concept of smaller breweries still seemed foreign to most drinkers. Now, 36 years later, the scale is much larger than it was in those early days on the seven-barrel pub system—yet some of those early brands persevere. While those beers inevitably evolve amid shifts in scale and tastes, the core ideas that inform them haven't changed. In this episode, longtime brewmaster Mark Hunger and co-CEO Steven Pauwels, the former brewmaster at Kansas City's Boulevard, talk about that evolution as well as new developments in hop-forward beers. Along the way, they touch on: brewing lager with proprietary yeast for a signature brewery flavor using pressurized fermentation and warmer temperatures for faster lagers using automation while double-checking with human testing adding a touch of dryness and drinkability through sparge pH adjustment using sulfur as a tool for flavor and shelf stability Oregon-grown Mt. Hood hops for American lager character evaluating Munich malt for their annual Oktoberfest beer using public variety hops such as Triumph, but not Centennial, in Midwest-style IPA brewing filtered, clear IPA with London Ale III yeast And more.

After an early stint at Cleveland staple Fat Head's, and a brief foray into brewery operation with the now-defunct Platform, Shaun Yasaki set out in 2016 to create a brewpub that reflected his interests as a brewer—well-made beers that don't chase trends but earn repeat business for both flavor and drinkability. To achieve that goal, he designed a 10-barrel brewhouse that could brew any style of beer without compromise, thanks to its dedicated cereal cooker and decoction vessel. Now, with Noble Beast (https://www.noblebeastbeer.com), he squeezes more beer from every batch using high-gravity brewing methods, and the results have garnered notice—two GABF medals for Baltic-style porter Murder Ballads, plus a number of high scores (https://beerandbrewing.com/search/?search=noble+beast&category=beerReview) from our blind-judging panel at Craft Beer & Brewing Magazine®. In this episode, Yasaki discusses: designing a 10-barrel brewhouse with flexibility for cereal mashes, decoction, parti-gyle brewing, and more exploring “weird” mash regimes to optimize flavor and fermentation performance finding space for expression within traditional lager styles maintaining foam-positive proteins through mashing and decoction finding complementary esters in specific lager yeast strains milling and cooking raw rice to create “negative space” in beer for other flavors to fill decocting and cereal mashing IPA using non-diacetyl-producing yeast in IPA fermentation high-gravity brewing on a small pub system And more.

Over the past 15 years of Fat Head's (https://fatheads.com) existence, they've won 27 GABF medals (14 gold) and a dozen World Beer Cup medals (seven gold), but brewmaster Matt Cole takes it all in stride with typically Midwestern humility. They love to win, but they do it for the sake of making great beer. There's a modern sensibility to their flagship American IPA, Head Hunter—one of our Best 20 Beers in 2023 (https://beerandbrewing.com/the-best-20-beers-in-2023/)—which feels West Coast–driven but with an almost analog-like warmth that makes it accessible and refined without sacrificing any of its urgency and presence. And their approach to open fermentation of German-style weissbier is a master class in controlling ester and phenol production for flavorful yet balanced beers. Ask Cole, however, and he'll chalk it up to quality ingredients and sound process. “Good product in, good product out.” In this episode, Cole discusses: soft fining to protect bitterness and aroma brewing American IPA with a strong West Coast vibe evaluating new-crop-year hops in the brewhouse after selection selecting hops at the brewery with input from the entire brewing team tagging hops from different selected lots for different usages in a brew maximizing natural hop flavor and aroma with whole-cone hops in the hopback the stylistic overlap of West Coast and American IPA dialing in packaging for competition fermenting weissbier in an open fermentor using a flotation tank to clean up brews the importance of process over recipe And more.

Murphy Johnson of BlackStack (https://www.blackstackbrewing.com) in St. Paul, Minnesota, is an enthusiastic brewer with a big personality. Despite many brewers' strong opinions on hazy IPA, he's not afraid to go against the grain and embrace the murky style in all its fruit-forward hop glory. In this almost entirely haze-focused episode, Johnson discusses how they continue to learn while developing beers—often via collabs with other brewers—as they deploy unusual techniques and focus on ingredients that don't break the bank. In this episode, Johnson touches on: altering hazy IPA grain bills for aesthetic reasons feeding voracious dry hops with additional fermentables, such as Belgian candi sugar using thiol-boosting products with thiol-optimizing yeast for intensely fruit expressions how Sabro at low percentages helps to bring out beautiful notes from other hops building creaminess and mouthfeel with Cashmere and similar hops achieving modern hop flavors with traditional (and less expensive) American hops utilizing American Noble hop products in the mash to boost thiols temperature control and spunding when fermenting hazy IPAs And more.

Fair State Brewing Collective (https://fairstate.coop) head brewer Joe Wells has a deep love of tradition but no fear of the future, and the brewer's multiple focuses on everything from pale lager and modern IPA to sparking hemp-derived THC beverages is evidence of such. The point is matching flavor and experience to occasion, and Wells thinks about the entirety of that engagement when designing beers and beverages. In this episode, recorded on the eve of the World Brewing Congress in Minneapolis, Wells talks about: brewing classic lager with American grains and ingredients embracing the cereal mash with corn grits and rice flour for lighter beers that don't sacrifice character lager brewing with American Noble hops using Columbus cryo in lager and IPA dialing in Tetra for foam retention in adjunct lagers using the cheapest ingredients as expensively as possible triple decoction and its place in the certain beers debunking conical versus horizontal lager fermentation dank and sticky West coast IPA layering aromas like perfumers designing and making interesting hemp-derived THC beverages And more.

With his new brewery, Ism (https://www.ism.beer), Ian McCall is back in the brewery and taproom that once housed Beachwood in Long Beach, California—a brewery where he was once lead brewer—although he's in a different position now as founder and owner. Despite the very young age of this new brewery, McCall and team have already made a big splash, landing three World Beer Cup medals earlier this year, two of them gold, and one in the prized West Coast IPA category for their IPA Western Standard Time. The conversation, of course, turns to West Coast IPA, and stays there, as McCall walks through his award-winning IPA. Along the way, McCall covers: optimizing the beer lineup to eliminate lower performers driving leaner malt in West Coast IPA using group hop selection to his advantage brewing with wheat to boost body without affecting dryness moderating chloride levels in West Coast IPA shaping bitterness to hit strongly and quickly then disappear using active fermentation dry hopping to push fruitier hop notes building complexity with hot side hop additions constantly evolving even award-winning recipes And more.

Victor Novak has been racking up medals at major competitions for decades now. Through stints at significant Philadelphia and southern California breweries, he's made his mark on the development of contemporary beer styles while also working with a number of younger brewers who've done significant work themselves. Now, as director of innovation for Figueroa Mountain (https://www.figmtnbrew.com) in Westlake Village, California, he's blending the many beer avenues he loves—lager, fruit, and more—to build a robust program with beers that even non-beer-lovers can enjoy. In this episode, Novak covers: adjusting chloride-to-sulfate ratios in dark lagers building easy-drinking dark beers with pilsner malt, rice, and small amounts of roasted malts limiting Munich malt to avoid astringency single-infusion mashing with modern malts managing sulfur production with Augustiner lager yeast the differentiating factors in award-winning lagers dialing in pH in either pale and dark lagers to optimize hop or malt expression biotransformation with lager yeast in West Coast pils creating a perception of sweetness (without actual sweetness) in tart fruit beers Choosing Lactobacillus strains for the intended level of acidity adding top-notes to fruit flavors for aromatic punch working terpenes into hop-forward and nonalcoholic beers And more.

The Williams family has been farming apples and stone fruit on Colorado's Western slope for over 100 years, and today their Snow Capped Cider (https://snowcappedcider.com) is one of the winningest American cideries, notching big honors at GLINTCAP, the world's premier cider competition, while cleaning up again at the annual Cidercraft awards. The secret, says owner, creative force, and cider maker Kari Williams, is the quality of their fruit. Growing apples for cider on their own estate isn't novel, but doing so at an elevation over 6000' certainly is, and the extreme growing conditions produce apples with more vivid contours as well as more sugar, which provides Williams a saturated palette to paint with. In this episode, Williams discusses: the multigenerational family approach to farming and now cider making the benefits and challenges of growing apples at high elevation maintaining tight farming control for perfect apples, while benefitting from the luxury of time an apple-driven creative process inspired by flavors in that year's crop terroir and flavor expression in apples, and the impact of different farming locations extensive trialing with 200 fermentation tests in any given year building a perception of sweetness in dry ciders aging certain apple varieties before juicing balancing acidity, astringency, and sweetness in fine ciders And more.
