Featuring: Cigar City Brewing, Martin House Brewing Company, and Pink Boots Hop Blend.

Are you ready for a barrel of fun? On this episode, (1:16) Sydney Masovero from Yakima Chief Hops pops by to tell us about the 7th Annual Pink Boots Hop Blend. Then, (4:57) Sean Sasscer from Cigar City kicks off our conversation about barrel-aged beers. From sensory to how they source barrels, to maintenance and storage, Sean shares advice for others wanting to get started. After Sean gives us the low-down on his barrel program, (42:40) John Laughman from Martin House takes it up a notch and walks us through all of their wild and experimental barrel-aged beers. From Spiced Beet Sours to Hot Dog Beers and even Mayonnaise Seltzers (yes, you read that right) – you're not going to want to miss what John has to say!
