Listen Later

Head Brewer Carolyn Stephens from Art History Brewing discusses smoked porters, English styles, and delicious dark beers.

01:52 Beer Myth: Does proper glassware really enhance the beer drinking experience? Or is it all marketing? Katherine and Carolyn break down the way they use glasses at their breweries and what difference it actually makes in a beer drinker’s drinking experience.

07:10 Carolyn Stephens Interview: Carolyn Stephens, head brewer at Art History Brewing, talks about her journey to becoming a brewer and her extensive business skills that have helped her and her brewery thrive. Carolyn and Katherine discuss the way the culture of the craft beer industry has changed since they first got involved with it and how they’ve been perceived as women in a male-dominated industry. Carolyn also talks about Art History’s focus on traditional styles and shares some fun anecdotes about adjuncts she decided not to try brewing while she was getting started. Brian and Katherine then try one of Art History’s delicious porters while Carolyn explains smoked porters, such as one she’s brewed with cherrywood smoked malts. She also discusses brewing English styles in her pub ale program, priming sugar, the complexity of dark beers, her Baltic porter Wry Expression, and more.

36:45 This Week in Bad Customer Behavior: Katherine wonders why people seem to think that a brewery’s staff has the ability to change the weather. Stay tuned to hear about the bizarre requests she and her colleagues have received in the past – and how you can avoid becoming one of the “bad customers” from this story.
