Marco and Phil talk about Real Ale, Casks and Beer Engines for the Home Brewer and Hopefully don’t piss off any Real Ale Purists. 

The Doc judges a Gruit, and tells us what exactly a Gruit is. 

Lastly, Brett Bauer joins us to talk his journey as a brewer. Brett was previously the lead brewer at one of our favorite local breweries here in MA, Idle Hands. Idle Hands is a well known for it's Belgian beers, German lagers and more and more for it's NEIPAs. Brett then moved down to Tennessee to Heaven and Ales and recently left professional brewing to return to the bio-tech industry. But, while he has left the professional brewing world, he has joined us as home brewers. We're going to dig into Brett's background, learn about his experiences as a professional brewer and dig into his plans as a home brewer.
