Podcast appearances and mentions of van havig

In part two of our conversation, we talk to Ben Love and Van Havig about some of the challenges facing breweries as the year nears its end.

Today we join you from the industrial tract in Southeast Portland that Ben Love and Van Havig selected ten years ago when they founded Gigantic Brewing. At the time, they expected it would blend in with its surroundings, and they devoted little attention to the tiny taproom space they called the Champagne Lounge. To their surprise, it has become a success, encouraging them to open a second taproom during Covid and, last month, a third. In today's pod, we're going to ask them about the new place, their tenth anniversary, and how things have changed since 2012.

What is a pale ale beer? What are the expectations for pale ale malt? Why choose pale ale malt as a base in beers versus others? Today, we are joined by Van Havig of Gigantic Brewing Company and Dan Cooper of Bairds Malt, along with Grant Lawrence, Zach Grossfeld, and John Egan to explore the pale ale malt. Watch our "2021 Barley Crop: Update, Information, and Mitigation Strategies" presentation for the Craft Beer Professionals Spring Virtual Conference on YouTube! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/thebrewdeck/message

Gigantic Brewing's Van Havig joins Patrick and Jeff in episode 84. Van is one of the most transparent brewers in beer, and he offers his unvarnished opinions about Vienna malt, brewing kölsch, running a business, hoppy beers and more. Warning: salty language herein!

Host Ben Rice travels to Portland, OR, to sit down with Van Havig and Ben Love of Gigantic Brewing, along with guest George Dimeo of beer distribution company Maletis Beverage, to talk about beer. And 80s SoCal Punk. And 90s London House. And why death metal is dumb, but awesome. Plus! Why greatest hits albums are vanity projects, brewer faces ending up on the bottles of other brewers' beers, what sets Gigantic apart from other breweries, and the epic battles between cans and bottles, between American and English beers, and between Van and literally anyone and anything. Plus why Flat Earther believers are wrong and brewers generally aren't scientists, and so much more! This conversational spectrum is vast like the universe and frantic like Dame Lillard, so give it a spin and see what grabs ya! Enjoy!

It's listener feedback time (and thanks everyone for your survey responses)! In the pub we talk through the importance of glassware, catching Denny in St. Louis, and hey what are your brew year's resolutions? In the library, we talk about a new Brewer's Alamanc focused on plants and just where do we get beer styles from? In the lab, we announce our next experiment - the great keg purge! Does the way you purge your kegs impact the way your beers age? In the lounge, we visit with Van Havig, brew master at Portland's Gigantic Brewing where we talk Gin IPAs, MixBot and the Plague. We tackle more of your questions in our Q&A segment and then Denny quickly tips with Kai's Conversion Efficient Calculation before we close out with two of Drew's recent favorite podcasts - LifeAfter and Crime Town.

_ Beer Sessions Radio _ is on scene at Jimmy’s No. 43 as host Jimmy Carbone sits down with a great crew from Portland Oregon featuring Christian DeBenedetti and Andrea Slonecker, authors of the new book “Beer Bites.”  As beer lovers well know, there has never been a better time to be a beer drinker. But all that beer begs for the right food to go with it! Christian and Andrea chat up their publication that serves up 65 globe-roaming and simple recipes from appetizers to snacks and main courses that go beyond typical pub grub with recommendations of beer styles and widely available must-try brews for each dish. Beer Bites is ideal for the growing cadre of craft beer lovers eager to explore the basics and nuances of beer and food pairings, whether they are hosting tasting nights or just enjoying one good brew at a time.  Additional brewing all stars join in the conversation, including Mike Wright of The Commons, Van Havig of Gigantic Brewing, as well as Dan Angler of Occidental Brewing, each talking about their paths in brewing and the importance of craft brews in the Pacific Northwest!

Wallflowers and Gigantic Brewing Company founders, Ben Love and Van Havig, are our cheekiest brewers (well, Van is) to date. We talk about market saturation, being voted best new brewer by beerdos.. and what sort of DBs would call their brewery "Gigantic" and mean it (?), The Gigantic guys were a blast to record with! Thanks to Joe Tucker of Ratebeer for spending the month of May hanging out with us! Music: Juice - Keep It Moving
