We've finally made it to episode 50! To celebrate we are doing a power hour and answering your questions! Thanks for listening and here's to 50 more!

This week the crew discusses the 3 tier distribution system for beer. They talk about the history of the system as well as the pros and cons. They even get into the first beer legally sold after prohibition was repealed. Then LC's pick of the week returns and she attempts to stump Nick and Joe. Check it out to see if she is successful or not!

This week the crew dives into the culinary realm with some discussion on beer and food. They talk basic principles and some common flavor profile pairings. They even design a menu and beer pairing (which was quite a challenge as well as fun). Cheers!

This week the crew dives into a bit of an ambiguous style, Oenobeer. This brew made using wine ingredients and techniques blends the lines of the two beverages. Check out the episode for more information on this somewhat forgotten style that may just be making a come back.

Happy holidays from the Secondary Fermentation crew! This week we try a festive beer by Delirium and discuss the Untappd year in review. Check it out to hear some stats (including ours).

This week its all about the barrel as the crew discusses the basics of barrel aged beers. They also try a bourbon barrel aged variant of Ommegang's Three Philosophers series and a spontaneously fermented blueberry aged sour from Barrel Culture. Sadly, they also discuss the recent closing announcement from Barrel Culture Brewing and Blending in Raleigh/Durham.

This week we're taking a break from podcasting and getting our fill on turkey (and beer). Don't worry, we'll see you for our next regularly schedule programming! Cheers!

This week we're trying a selection of NA beers and giving our thoughts on the category. We answer the question of "where do NA beers fit in our fridge?" and even go (very superficially) into some of the techniques used to produce them. Check it out for a great discussion on this growing segment of brews.

This week the gang gets Belgian and discusses an under appreciated style... the Flanders Red Ale. They geek out over the tart, fruity, and slightly sweet style and while on a sour kick break out a mixed fermentation brew by Barrel Culture in Durham. Check it out!

This week Joe and Lauren discuss their recent trip to Munich, Germany to visit Oktoberfest...that's right the Oktoberfest. They had a great time and came back with some stories, advice, and fun anecdotes about the trip. Listen in for a peek into the world's largest folk festival. P.s. please excuse the congested voices. Prost!
