This week we were very happy to be joined by Derrek Buston, owner and managing director of West Coast Brewing. Together we tried a couple of their new releases and talked beer and brewing. The first beer - Forbidden Land - was a new style for us. A Grodziskie is a traditional, oak smoked wheat ale that is sometimes referred to as "Polish Champagne" due to its high carbonation: Light, smoky, crisp, and summery. The second beer could not have been more different. The Gateway Empowered is a 13.0% Imperial Stout with coffee and vanilla. Rich, thick, and incredibly dark. In an incredible coincidence, both will be available at our taproom from Friday afternoon so you can drink along with us.

Today, for the second week in a row, we tried one of our own beers and gave ourselves a hearty pat on the back. One Night in Tokyo is a tartly refreshing sour ale with yuzu that we made in collaboration with our friends at Virginia Beer Co. We also talked a bit about context in communication and how to release beers as part of a series.

This week we tried some of the excellent 4 Sisters Spring Bock, a maibock from Baird Brewing. What exactly is a bock, a maibock, a decoction mash? We got into all of these questions and also (tried to) answer a very interesting listener question about whether brewing is a male dominated industry.
