Host Richie Tevlin and Co-Host Evan Blum talk with Mitch Steele, Director of Brewing Operations at Abita Brewing and one of the most influential figures in modern American craft beer. A UC Davis fermentation science graduate with nearly four decades of brewing experience, Mitch held brewing leadership roles at Anheuser-Busch before joining Stone Brewing in 2006, where he helped grow the operation from 48,000 to nearly 400,000 barrels annually and became widely recognized as a pioneer of the modern IPA movement. He later co-founded New Realm Brewing in Atlanta before bringing his expertise to Abita. He is also the author of IPA: Brewing Techniques, Recipes and the Evolution of India Pale Ale, published by Brewers Publications, and the recipient of the Brewers Association Russell Scherer Award for Innovation in Craft Brewing.
