Drinking Partners

Drinking Partners #233 - Hannah Ferguson | Mordern Methods Brewing Company


Listen Later

Ed rates himself an 8.5 on the “segue scale” as he introduces Hannah Ferguson as a queen and one of America’s few Black female brewers. After an initial start in brewing wine, Ms. Ferguson shifted toward craft beer as the scene exploded and began working with Modern Methods Brewing Company in Warren, Ohio. The opening segments allow her to explain the differences between brewing wine and beer, and how she had to abandon the patience required for winemaking, only to be replaced by the anxiety that comes with brewing beer. The first beer that the group samples is an ESB, or English Style Bitter before they move onto The Percolator, a coffee lager created in collaboration with Youngstown Coffee Company. Want to learn what an “equatorial twerk” is? Listen for Day and Ed’s discussion midway through, although you might not fully understand even after their attempts to explain. Ed and Day can’t hide their excitement for the smoked chipotle imperial stout that Ms. Ferguson introduces next, a collaboration with Cockeye BBQ, which, unsurprisingly leads to several rounds of jokes from Ed and Day. You’ll laugh out loud for several minutes during that part of the conversation, which continues until the closing minutes in this fun and fast listen.
