We had a wonderful evening discussing beer, yeast, and all things White Labs with Erik Fowler!

We specifically brought him on The Show to discuss the first packaged beer from the lords of yeast. It true White Labs spirit, they zigged when most would zag; for their first offering, Tabberer, they released a mixed pack, not of different beers, but the same beer fermented with two different yeasts. Each 4 pack includes two beers fermented with WLP008 East Coast Ale Yeast and two beers finished with the strain that started it all, WLP001 California Ale Yeast.

Yes, you read that right!

Yes, the sale of Ballast Point Brewing Company to Constellation Brands is when our friends over at Beer Night in San Diego coined using #IndieBeer instead of craft. Yes, the initial blow back on social media from that was insane for those of us that adopted the effort right away. Yes, eventually, everyone came around. Yes, that's what lead to the Brewers Association making a symbol to help consumers understand which beers are produced by independent breweries. Yes, it is why we're called The Indie Beer Show; we wanted to be extremely clear in what we support!

We're stoked this Mt. Rushmore of #SDBeer is once again a member of the indie beer family and we're welcoming them back the safest way we can, with a live stream show for all of you!

The beers we'll be featuring in this show:

Hougoumont

Kings & Convicts Brewing Co. - Pilsner - German - 4.8% ABV - 23 IBUs - Full of character, this lightly hopped Pilsner has notes of citrus, squeezed Kiwifruit and nectar fruits.

Swingin' Friar Ale

Ballast Point Brewing Company - Pale Ale - American - 5.5% ABV -

Manta Ray

Ballast Point Brewing Company - IPA - Imperial / Double - 8.5% ABV - 70 IBUs - This new IPA rises above the rest. We’ve developed many IPA recipes in our R&D program, but right from the tank, our Manta Ray Double IPA was a winner. Aromas of fresh, citrusy tangerine, melon and light pine leap from the beer and linger over a smooth finish. Like its namesake, this brew can sneak up on you – a big beer without a bite.

High West Barrel Aged 2017 Victory at Sea

Ballast Point Brewing Company - Porter - Imperial / Double Coffee - 12% ABV - 35 IBUs - High West Bourbon/Rye Blend aged for 7 months. Layers of complexity emerge with notes of soft caramel and smoky oak over a dark chocolate and roasted almond body

It is impossible to ignore the inequalities in our world. We condemn racism in any form and are committed to its destruction in our communities. Far too many people of color have perished in the hands of those that are supposed to protect us. All lives cannot matter until black lives matter.

We encourage you to commit to ending racisim and support Dr. J. Jackson-Beckham's Craft Beer For All efforts.

This week's show features one of the very best humans in the #SDBEER world, George Thornton from the one two punch of Home Brewing Co. and The Homebrewer. If you have not met him, make sure you visit as soon as we're allowed to hug people again!

We had a great night sampling beers with George and talking all things Home Brew Co! He even sent us an ABV Smuggler as a bonus gift. 

Strap in, we get chatty and almost hit the 2 hour mark. Stay safe, do what you can to support your local, independent breweries, busnesses, and artists and we hope all is well with your and your family.
