Like beer, coffee is one of society’s oldest and most fundamental beverages.  Perhaps that is why coffee beers taste so good!  And like beer, there was a time where coffee was commoditized.  It is both fun and interesting that the rise of craft beer was mirrored by the rise of the premium coffee house.  In this episode of the All About Beer Podcast, we take a look at what makes great coffee great coffee and how that knowledge is necessary to make great coffee beer.

Attenuation is the consumption of sugar by yeast.  More attenuation means less residual sugar which generally means a drier beer … or does it?  A lot of factors come into play in how much attenuation a beer will undergo and that is only somewhat related to how dry or sweet that beer will be perceived by the drinker. On this episode of the All About Beer Podcast, we talk with a Master Cicerone about how attenuation is related (or not) to dryness and we speak with a brewer about how he thinks about attenuation in recipe development.

Brewer to Brewer: Jennings Carney and Gerard Olson

Right now around the world, the hops industry is in two modes: In the Northern Hemisphere, the hop farmers are prepping the poles for twine, making sure the bines that start to grow are the perfect plant to make the arduous climb up, and are preparing the farm for the busy season ahead.  While in the Southern Hemisphere, harvest has been over for weeks, so the hop farmers are composting, cleaning the kilns, and are taking a well deserved break. On this episode we talk to two hop farmers, Eric Desmarais of CLS Farms in Yakima, Washington and Andrew Sutherland, hop farmer at Oast House Farms in Upper Moutere, New Zealand about what they are currently doing around their farms and the differences seasonality makes.
