Coming off of Jamil's recent trip to Asia, we decided to revisit the Foreign Extra Stout category. Notoriously hard to find in the U.S. Jamil was able to track down some pretty neat beer and mule them back for us - including Guinness's version! We all had a clear favorite in the studio, which makes it even more painful to know that it will be nearly impossible to find on our side of the pond.  Oh well, such is beer!

This week on Brewing With Style, we have a special guest join the show - the head of the Heretic Brewing Barrel Program, Chris!  He came into the studio to talk about how he made his transition from homebrewer all the way to his current position alongside Jamil.  We also chat about how he approaches blending and tasting beers from the barrel project, and how those get transformed into a final product. Tune in and learn about how Heretic tackles this complex and experimental part of producing great craft beer from barrels.

Today's show is full of a few things, but mainly beer.  We talk today about the practice of adding your dark malts at the end of the mash versus keeping them in there for the entire thing.  It's a much-debated topic, with many people on either side swearing to their cats that their way is the best.  JP brewed two batches of his Oatmeal Stout, one with grains at the mash and one with the dark grains added at the end.  Which will dominate?  Find out!
