Experimental Brewing

The Brew is Out There!

One problem with us sitting here and giving our brewing advice - you never get to taste our beer! While we can't ship everyone a beer, you can finally hear Denny's feedback about Drew's canned IPAs. We're tasting Drew's 45th Birthday IPA and Cape Point New South African Hazy IPA

The Brew is Out There!

In the world of beer, we hold this truth to be self-evident - Non-Alcoholic beer sucks. Does it have to, though? With growing interest in healthier options, there's a movement afoot to make craft inspired non-alcoholic beer. Drew sits down with Bill Shufelt of Athletic Brewing to discuss what's wrong with the NA beer of the past and what made him open a non-alcoholic brewery. And of course, we'll give the beers a taste and see how close they come to the hard stuff.

Denny and Paula have just returned from Belgium. What did he learn? What did he taste? (What did she drink that wasn't IPA?) How did the authorities let him back in? Tune in and find out that and all the beer news and brewing misadventures we've been getting up to in this week's episode!

The Brew is Out There!

One of our favorite traditions is the HomeBrewCon commemorative beer given to attendees. This year's beer is Wicked Smooth, an Apricot Milkshake IPA. Drew sits down with Michelle Clark of Grey Sail and Chris Leonard of Heavy Seas Beer and talks about the decisions they made while collaborating to make this beer that's out of their comfort zone.

As we release this, Denny is somewhere recovering from invading the fine country of Belgium. Next episode we'll get into it. But on this episode, we wanted to step back and take a look at where we started on our journey of New England "Hazy" IPA (Episode 15), revisit one of the strange beer ideas Drew still gets questions about with Russell Everett's Cool Ranch Beer from Bainbridge Brewing(Episode 23) and the infamous Gin discussion that some of you probably didn't get to because it was in our April Fools episode (Episode 63).
