Scotty Hargrave didn't invent extra-pale ale—he reinvented it, giving the style the definition it had lacked before. Tinkering away on his homebrew kit in New South Wales, he developed the recipe for what would become Balter XPA—a beer that took off and popularized what has arguably become Australia's signature beer style. It's also a beer that also has inspired certain American brewers, including Craft Coast cofounder Blake Masoner. Craft Coast XPA medaled at the 2024 and 2025 World Beer Cups and is now a core beer at their two brewpubs/taco stands in San Diego's North County. In this episode, Craft Beer & Brewing executive editor Joe Stange—interviewing them for a feature article in our upcoming issue—gathers Hargrave and Masoner for a trans-oceanic dive into the details of what makes a great XPA. With its lean malt base, full-spectrum hop character, soft mouthfeel, and addictively dry finish, it's a simple beer that may not be so simple to execute. Among the topics they discuss: why they believe in Australian base malt for XPA the importance of hot-side hop additions—from first wort to whirlpool—and “spreading out” those IBUs water chemistry and the trick of achieving both soft mouthfeel and a crisp, dry finish how brewing XPA has improved the West Coast IPAs at a medal-winning West Coast brewery the wider value and benefits of learning how to nail a challenging style And more.

Ryan Allen of Soul & Spirits in Memphis loves brewing traditional lager—but when it comes to turning heads at big events like the Great American Beer Festival, he's not afraid of putting that methodical approach to work on projects that other brewers might view as crazy. Barbecue sauce–flavored beer? Yes. Beer with the taste and consistency of Southern gravy? Check. Barrel-aged stout that tastes like cola (with a spike of something harder)? Of course. In this episode, Allen discusses these outliers in the beer-flavor pantheon—but also shares his approach to brewing with locally grown rice, which he cereal-mashes for everything from IPA to “Southern pilsner.” He also discusses: their Sauce line of barbecue sauce–flavored gluten-free ales using astringent and tannic spices in beer preventing oat milk from curdling in an acidic beer environment building cola flavor through a variety of ingredients malt blends in stout for depth and flavor brewing with locally grown rice making “Southern pilsner” with New Zealand–grown Riwaka hops And more.

Chris O'Connor, VP of brewing operations at Prost in Northglenn, Colorado, has built a career on being a process nerd. He spent a decade in engineering for the pharmaceutical industry before switching gears and following his passion for brewing. His analytical approach to colllecting data, testing, and questioning conventional logic is a big part of what drives quality at Prost's award-winning lager program. The success spans three Great American Beer Festival medals in the past three years, including silver for Prost Pilsner in 2023 and two golds in 2025, for Schwarzbier and Viennal Lager. Despite that success, the production team recently made a leap, moving to a new house lager yeast—the Augustiner strain, instead of 34/70. In this episode, O'Connor discusses that careful process, plus: huskless endosperm mashing for a refined lager profile taking advantage of Prost's fully customized, five-vessel Kaspar Schulz brewhouse an intentional, eight-step decoction process—and completely changing it to accomodate a new yeast strain why they use “marine-blade” custom rakes to agitate the mash and decoctions using a vacuum-evaporation process after the kettle to drive off DMS precursors and other volatiles open fermentation and the impact of tank geometry using blind tasting, polls, and sales data to evaluate lagers made with the new yeast the palpable difference in sulfur impact from the 34/70 and Augustiner strains Ultimately, despite brewing traditional styles using traditional methods, O'Connor's view is that no process is sacred—challenge everything, test, observe, and always be ready to change.

Living Waters in Nashville, Tennessee, is a full-service coffee house as well as brewery, and its affinity for strong, well-articulated flavor runs through all the beverages they produce and serve. Recently, the brewery's Barrel-Aged Dyson Sphere (Construct IV) scored a 97 in Craft Beer & Brewing Magazine®—garnering the highest score in the category—so, naturally, we wanted to know more. That success stems in part from cofounder Ryan McCay's deep passion for barrel-aged stouts and barleywines, and he uses the brewery's proximity to major bourbon and whiskey producers to his advantage. While Living Waters may be small, and the releases are somewhat limited, they've nonetheless built a deep stock of casks with aging stock now averaging around three years old, and they take a brand-agnostic, flavor-first approach to building blends from these various components. At the same time, their counterintuitive approach to adding coffee to stout may surprise you. In this episode, McCay discusses: building different base recipes to fit specific whiskey casks blind blending for a brand-agnostic, flavor-first approach barrel selection to maximize desirable flavors off-gassing coffee to avoid green-pepper notes in beer cinnamon addition methods that vary by variety And more.

This week it's a Ian's pick. Pavement Is Lava Lager from Worthy Brewing company. Rating - 4 Chubs up! Best game to be paired with: Wreckfest... again??? --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thecouchcoopshow/message

Visiting Worthy Brewing for me was like a pilgrimage, or a trip to Willy Wonka's factory. Or both. I had been drinking Worthy beers for a few years before I started this podcast, and their Lights Out Stout is one of my favorites. But when I went out to the Worthy campus to do this interview, I had no idea how cool this place really was. It's like a fantasy playland for beer lovers. They do live shows on two stages, indoors and out; they serve experimental beers on tap that you can't get anywhere else; they have a garden where they not only grow their own hops but they actually develop new strains of hops, in collaboration with students from a local ag engineering program. AND they have their own observatory, with an actual astronomer on staff. I had some audio issues that day, so this episode didn't come out as great as I wanted it to. But the conversation was fantastic. I could seriously talk beer with these guys all week. Ever since then I've been looking forward to going back.

Roger Worthington lives to ride his mountain bike, play with his dog Diggy, and drink beer with friends. He owns Worthy Brewing; Indie Hops - a hop breeding company in the valley and a law firm in Los Angeles that specializes in asbestos cancer. He's the president of the Worthy Garden Club, a non profit whose mission is to help connect people to the natural world so we can become better stewards. Worthington joins the Bend Don't Break podcast to talk about his environmental stewardship, and his take on the recent extraction of big, carbon-storing trees in the Phil's Trail area of the Deschutes National Forest.

While I was in Bend to ride Mt. Bachelor, I went over to Worthy Brewing to talk with Dustin Kellner, the head brewer, and Adam Foster, the marketing director. Worthy is by far not the biggest brewery in Bend, but it's definitely one of the best. The Lights Out Stout has been one of my favorite beers for the past couple years, and I look for it every time I'm in the Pacific Northwest.In this episode we tried six beers: the Ten Mile Lager, the Easy Day low-cal hazy, the Citra IPA, the Return to the Mountain Hazy IPA, the Lights Out Stout, and the Ascension Imperial Porter. A couple of them are only available on draft at the brewery, so head on up.Thanks to Dustin and Adam for meeting with me! The theme music is "Camaro" by Oliver Michael. The other music in this episode came from "Freerolling," by T-Bless and the Professionals, and "High," by Guy Mar. Check out all three artists on Artlist.io.

On a visit to Worthy Brewing in Bend Oregon, we happened upon the most fabulous insect house that I have ever laid eyes upon. After some research, I discovered that it was created by Worthy Garden Club so, I had to look them up and learn more. As a result, in this episode, let’s discuss supporting our environment (1) from our backyard through insect hotels, (2) learning about non-profits that support our environment, (3) making a difference by doing what we enjoy most, and (4) buying holiday gifts from companies who are making business decisions that positively support our environment.  KINDLY leave a REVIEW by simply clicking here and scrolling to the bottom until you see “WRITE A REVIEW”Join the ALL POSITIVE Home Space and Reason community:~ Join the private Facebook group for conversations & sharing about your home space and reason.  All the product links and photos you hear about within the podcast live here. ~ Follow me on Instagram~ Follow me on Facebook~ Follow me on Pinterest ~ Follow me on Twitter~ Home Coaching & Real Estate Website www.SpaceAndReason.com Sources & Reference———————————————-PDF on How to Build an Insect Hotel.PDF Attracting beneficial bugs.Learn more about the Honey Bee Conservancy.Follow on Instagram: the Honey Bee Conservancy - Worthy Garden Club - Crown BeesDONATE to the Worthy Garden Club by clicking here.DONATE to the Honey Bee Conservancy by clicking here.Learn more about Operation AppleseedWorthy Garden Clubs’ Pinterest boards. Shop for birthday and Christmas Gifts that are earth-friendly using this EarthHero portal to buy from earth-friendly companies.Legal Disclosure: Kristina Browning is a licensed Realtor in the State of Oregon with 503 Properties
