Experimental Brewing

You heard Drew's brew day at Trademark in a previous Brew Files episode, but now you can hear the story of Trademark straight from Sterling. How he got started and what sort of amazing job they're doing in Long Beach after a short time! And of course we get you the news and Drew and Denny talk about Brümalt from Great Western and how they inadvertently used it the exact same way!

The Brew is Out There!

Common wisdom dictates that trying to save money by brewing beer is a fool's errand like buying a boat to save on fish, but we're here to tell you that there are a few ways you can maximize your savings while still enjoying high quality beer. We're not about minmaxing here - just reminding you as your beer needs increase around the holidays, it's perfectly easy to pinch some pennies and enjoy a beer!

On this episode we delve a bit into history as Denny talks about the results of our "Beer & Brewing Over 60" survey. Then we're flying into the future as we listen to OSU's Sarah Windes talk about the project to develop and select a new malt hybrid for both Mecca Grade and the public. Pollen flies on this episode along with all of our usual beery goodness!

We're not done with Hop & Brew School just yet because as Denny headed home from Yakima, he stopped in the beer rich river city of Hood River. While there he sat down with Brian Perkey of Lallemand to talk about his long history in the brewing world - how he almost didn't get his first brewing job and what he's done across the world of craft beer. And of course, we cover the beer news, feedback, questions and craft malt!

We've been talking for just shy of 13,000 minutes now and it only took us 100 episode (plus 69 of the Brew Files) to get there! In this episode we visit a new room at Casa Verde to revisit what we've all learned (Maybe the real beer was always the one in our hands). And since the world of beer never stops - we're covering the news and talking with Seth Klann of Mecca Grade Estate Malt about his plans to bring even more craft malt to the world! Oh and a party!
