The Brewing Network Presents | Dr. Homebrew

Despite the commercial label in the photo, there's a homebrew in that reused Moose Drool bottle - we swear! On today's show, we had a California Common sent to us, and a Doppelbock that was in-studio. See how these beers did, and how they can improve, on Dr. Homebrew!

Tonight on Dr. Homebrew, we have a clone of the world-famous Pivo Pils from Firestone-Walker, and a classic American Pale Ale. Branden, who sent in the Pivo clone, was kind enough to send us two versions, actually - one was dry hopped and one was standard, so we had a good time comparing the two.

It's commercial calibration time again! Today on the show we have not one, but TWO different versions of Guinness Stout! That's right, one is the draught version in the can, and the other is from the bottle, sans widget. But first, we have a Cream Ale from Scott.

Ginger Hibiscus Saison and a Bourbon Maple Porter are on the table tonight, and we're fairly certain they are both truly unique beers to Dr. Homebrew! However, to do that we'd have to keep track of our past submissions and we have too much golf to play.

Every day you learn something new. Today, Jason learned there is no "T" in "Schwarzbier", and he's been saying it all wrong this entire time. But we are fairly certain that Chris (who brewed the thing) knew that! We also had Josh on with his Chocolate Rum Milk Stout, which was a very excellent beer.

Talk about polar opposite beers ... an American Pale Ale and a Christmas Cookie Stout With Coconut. Not typically two beers you'd find on the judging table together, but we are pros, so we carry on!

A French Saison and an English Brown Ale with Chai Spiced - two things we rarely get. Chris's French Saison was hit with a treatment of Clarity-Ferm after fermentation to remove most of the gluten - something we hadn't seen before with such a wheat-based recipe. Avery's English Brown Ale made with Chai Tea spices hit us next, and tasted more like an oatmeal raisin cookie than anything. Good Stuff!

German Hefeweizen and Imperial Stout are on the docket today! Collin's Imperial Stout was left sitting on JP's counter for a year - which is definitely something new for this show. Ian's Hefe was treated normally by JP, so nobody can blame him for anything - which is NOT normal.

Today on Dr. Homebrew, we chat with Walter once again - this time with his take on the Sierra Nevada beer "Resilience IPA". Then a call all the way to Sweden, lagers, and what the homebrewing scene is like over there. It's a great show, so sit back and relax!

Awhile back we were introduced to a beer that Brian has been working on forever, the aptly-named "Kick Your Own Ass" ale. Back then, Keith and Jason judged it and gave Brian some feedback on how to make it a bit more approachable, while still maintaining the spirit of the thing. Well, Brian is back with a brand new version, brewed by the folks at PicoBrew for inclusion into one of their kits! Brian Schar and JP run through this beer again, but first we dive into a homebrewed Foreign Extra Stout from John.
