All About Beer

Kellerbier traces its history to when beer in Bavaria was stored in underground caves which were natural cellars - or kellers.  “Kellerbier” means "cellar beer” and kellerbiers today are a throwback to old lagers.  Naturally carbonated and unfiltered, kellerbiers are said to be more flavorful and with a softer mouthfeel.  And modern brewers are taking the old idea and applying it to modern lagers, resulting in beer lovers rediscovering a love of lager.

Myths are everywhere in beer. We don't know when certain breweries were actually created, when some brewing styles were invented, or we have preconceived notions of how certain things should be. In reality, they are not true at all. Beer writer Jeff Alworth has a phrase for some of these: romantic facts. Some are semi-accurate but the truth is stretched slightly, which hurts no one and helps create legend and lore either around a specific brewery or a brewing process. Alworth lays out a list of these romantic facts for this episode of the All About Beer podcast to dig through in a fun and engaging interview about what is the "truth" of beer and does it really matter?

In the early days of craft beer, hopping was limited to bittering hops, flavor hops and aroma hops, added early, late and later in the boil.  Then dry hopping became very popular, particularly with IPAs.  As hops came to dominate the craft beer discussion, brewers began experimenting with all manner of hopping techniques in an effort to extract new, interesting and stable hop flavors and boost the overall hoppiness in their beers.  What are all these hopping techniques and what do they do?

When co-host Em Sauter was in Australia in 2019, she was exposed to the Pacific ale, a style of beer that was refreshing, sessionable, and something she was surprised was only limited to Australia. Five years later, Em is still surprised that this beer style (which has only grown in popularity in its native country) is still not really well known to people outside of Australia.

She hopes this episode will help educate more people about this excellent beer style. On this episode Em and Don Tse chat with two Australians.  First, Briony Liebich, who is an Australian beer educator and sensory professional about the flavors and aromas of this style. Then Caolan Vaughan, Head Brewer at Stone and Wood Brewing Co., who invented the beer style.
