AAB 057: The Decadent Dark Arts of Chocolate Beers
00:47:16
Chocolate is almost universally loved, including by brewers. Often used in stouts or other dark beers, chocolate can add complexity to beer while complimenting the flavors of malt. As making good beer requires good ingredients and skilled brewers, so too does making good chocolate require the best inputs handled by expert artisans. And combining the two into chocolate beer? That’s a master class in understanding manipulating agricultural products into a culinary masterpiece.

Beers have been stored in wood for centuries. Historically, it was simply a convenient water-tight vessel. Today, brewers are using them because the wood itself adds character to the beer, whether it be subtle notes of the wood itself, flavors created by microbes living within the porous wood, or flavor fortification from spirits or wine previously held in those barrels. Today, barrels can be considered ingredients themselves and brewers can use them to add depth and character to their beers.
But working with barrels can is time-consuming and unpredictable. We talk with three brewers with substantial barrel programs about how they think about barrel-aged beer.

Right now around the world, the hops industry is in two modes: In the Northern Hemisphere, the hop farmers are prepping the poles for twine, making sure the bines that start to grow are the perfect plant to make the arduous climb up, and are preparing the farm for the busy season ahead.
While in the Southern Hemisphere, harvest has been over for weeks, so the hop farmers are composting, cleaning the kilns, and are taking a well deserved break. On this episode we talk to two hop farmers, Eric Desmarais of CLS Farms in Yakima, Washington and Andrew Sutherland, hop farmer at Oast House Farms in Upper Moutere, New Zealand about what they are currently doing around their farms and the differences seasonality makes.

After New England brewers changed the world of IPA, other brewers took note of the style, based on its popularity the new flavors the style provided. But as all inventive brewers do, they didn’t merely mimic the hazy IPAs coming from New England. Instead, they further re-interpreted IPA, trying new hops, new yeast strains and even adding some bitterness back to the beer to satisfy their local palates. Other brewers have pushed the style to be bigger with double, triple and even quintuple hazy IPAs.
And while these brewers have advanced hazy IPA to new frontiers, the innovation isn’t over. The future of hazy IPA is clear: There will continue to be new flavors, new ingredients, new brewing techniques and new interpretations of the most popular new beer style to emerge in decades.

Every May 4, Star Wars fans emerge with full Force from their winter slumber. Star Wars day celebrates not only the legendary Lucas films, but all things nerdy - from comic books to cosplay.

And Don and Em, both enormous fans of The Simpsons, end the show with an interview with Bill Oakley, former writer and executive producer of The Simpsons. Oakley wrote many episodes of The Simpsons and wrote the famous “Steamed Hams” segment. Oakley has developed a beer that pairs perfectly with steamed hams.

It is autumn in the southern hemisphere which means it is harvest time for hops south of the equator. This episode of the All About Beer Podcast is all about New Zealand Hops. Don and Em chat with Brent McGlashen of Mac Hops and Ron Beatson of NZ Hops.
Today, New Zealand hops are known for their tropical, fruity flavors, but it wasn’t always that way. The McGlashen family itself has been growing hops for five generations and have watched New Zealand hops evolve from a commodity crop that was profitable based purely on maximum output, to the specialized, premium product it is today, highly sought by craft brewers around the world.
Much of that change is the result of hops breeding, which has improved the agronomics of hops, but also taken advantage of New Zealand’s unique soil and climate. Beatson is such a legendary hop breeder, they named a hop after him - Nectaron, but he is also responsible for breeding such legendary hops as Nelson Sauvin, Motueka and Riwaka. Beatson discusses what makes New Zealand hops unique.

Attenuation is the consumption of sugar by yeast. More attenuation means less residual sugar which generally means a drier beer … or does it? A lot of factors come into play in how much attenuation a beer will undergo and that is only somewhat related to how dry or sweet that beer will be perceived by the drinker.
On this episode of the All About Beer Podcast, we talk with a Master Cicerone about how attenuation is related (or not) to dryness and we speak with a brewer about how he thinks about attenuation in recipe development.

While walking through the beer shop, you must have noticed a brewery’s rebrand of packaging materials/signage. Sometimes it’s a slight tweak of a logo or a color change, but sometimes it’s a massive reshuffling to something brand new. Why do breweries rebrand and what are its purposes? In this episode, we will talk to a designer who helps breweries achieve their perfect branding and a brewery currently going through the process of rebranding. Both will discuss the challenges and reasons as to why breweries need to remain fresh in an ever changing beer landscape.

AAB 036: Is Pasteurization Better For Beer Flavor?
00:53:01
Pasteurization is a method of stabilizing beer through heat. Although some people think pasteurization can negatively affect the flavor of beer, when used properly, pasteurization stabilizes and preserves flavors and gives brewers flexibility in the brewing process. And with the rise in popularity of non-alcoholic beer, which has less inherent preservative qualities, pasteurization not only keeps flavors stable, but is necessary to keep those beers free from pathogens.
This episode's guest:
Keith Villa, Ph.D., is a trailblazer in the beer and cannabis industries; and brewmaster and co-founder of Colorado-based CERIA Brewing Company, dedicated to brewing only alcohol-free beers. After earning his PhD in brewing from the University of Brussels in Belgium in the early 1990’s, an honor only a handful of brewers have achieved, Keith returned to the states with the idea of crafting beers inspired by Belgian styles, but with a twist. He then began his 32-year career as founder and head brewmaster at Blue Moon Brewing Company, an operating unit of MillerCoors.
Since retiring from Blue Moon, this beer doctor developed a patented brewing method to produce great tasting alcohol-free craft beers; written a book titled Brewing with Cannabis, Using THC and CBD in Beer; and continues to speak worldwide as an expert in both the beer and cannabis industries.

Chad Henderson is a NC native and original team member of NoDa Brewing Company. He has been the head brewer for the Charlotte based brewery for the company's 12 year existence and is also Co-owner.

Tyson Arp is Overlord of Brewing for Nebraska Brewing Company (NBC), overseeing operations at their production brewery. His journey into craft beer began as a homebrewer in the early 2000’s and eventually he volunteered his way into an assistant brewer position at NBC in 2007. Upon becoming Head Brewer in 2009, his focus on quality and process documentation quickly put NBC on the map as the most awarded brewery in the state. Success of Tyson’s barrel aged products and expanding markets led NBC to open a packaging brewery in 2014 where Tyson was integral in the design, engineering, and implementation of the new facility. Since then, continued focus on team building and process standardization has allowed Tyson more time to focus on product development and streamlining procedures throughout the brewery operations.

In the early days of craft beer, hopping was limited to bittering hops, flavor hops and aroma hops, added early, late and later in the boil. Then dry hopping became very popular, particularly with IPAs. As hops came to dominate the craft beer discussion, brewers began experimenting with all manner of hopping techniques in an effort to extract new, interesting and stable hop flavors and boost the overall hoppiness in their beers. What are all these hopping techniques and what do they do?

AAB 022: Creating a Fun, Safe, and Educational Beer Festival
01:17:20
Beer festivals are a great way to try new beers, meet brewery representatives and travel to new places and they’ve come a long way from the days of drinking beers in parking lots.
Many beer festivals nowadays are not just about the beer and have seminars, food, culture, music, art and more.
In this episode, we talk to two beer festival planners, Day Bracey, who runs Barrel and Flow in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and Laura Lodge, who ran Big Beers, Belgians and Barleywines in Breckenridge, Colorado. They talk about what goes into making a beer festival a success, some difficulties facing festival planning, and the future of beer festivals.

For a beer lover this is the most wonderful time of the year. The annual rollout of Oktoberfest beers marks autumn (or mid-summer as can be the case with seasonal creep) and the start of the world's largest party in Munich.
While it's grand to put on the dirndls and lederhosen and hoist liters, the beer itself deserves a closer look.
On this episode of the All About Beer Podcast hosts Em Sauter and Don Tse talk with Megan Parisi of Boston Beer, makers of Samuel Adams Octoberfest. The beer is a hugely popular seasonal for the brewery and is often the gateway for curious drinkers looking for a little international flavor.

When you talk about America’s greatest beer cities, several names immediately enter the conversation. We always talk about Portland, Oregon, Asheville, North Carolina, Denver, Colorado, maybe even Chicago. But one name that always makes the list is our home for this episode, San Diego, California. Long an ambassador of great beer with breweries setting the style for the rest of the country and indeed the world, San Diego has a storied brewing history that I’m excited to explore today. I also can’t wait to talk with our two local experts today as it’s been about a decade since I last graced the sunny shores of southern California.
To help us capture the essence of San Diego’s beer scene, we are joined by Jenny Mann and Brandon Hernandez.
Beer writer and marketer Brandon Hernández has been deeply plugged into southern California beer for more than a decade. He has helped direct marketing at some of the area’s best known breweries, including Stone, Alesmith, and Societe. In 2019, the long-time writer decided to focus his efforts on creating a new interactive resource for fans of the area’s beer scene with the founding of San Diego Beer News.
The site is a bit of a throwback to the earlier days of beer blogs and local brewspapers. Instead of doing deep dives into broad, weighty topics of national import, Brandon focuses on providing detailed and tangible information about San Diego breweries and beer bars. SD Beer News offers brewery maps, tap lists, interviews with local brewers and beer players, and lots of local beer news.
A native San Diegan, Brandon is one of the most informed sources you’re going to find about that beer scene.
When you research San Diego beer, Jenny Mann is one of those names that keeps coming up. For more than a decade she has worked for and with some of the top breweries and craft beer bars in the city. She has bartended, led brewery tours, taught draft beer maintenance programs, and helped breweries navigate the confusing world of social media. She is also a professional photographer who has captured many of the city’s breweries through her lens. Jenny is a brewery coach and well-regarded speaker who often presents to local brewery guilds. She and her partner recently departed for the Pacific Northwest but she still considers San Diego home and she has a wealth of knowledge to share.
We're excited to jump into an exploration of the history and present day bounty of the San Diego, California beer scene on this episode of Beer Travelers.
AAB 015: Beer and Food Pairings with Garrett Oliver
00:53:19
This week on the show: we’re going to talk about beer and food pairing. Our guest is the legendary Garrett Oliver who is the Brewmaster of the Brooklyn Brewery, but more importantly wrote probably the most popular book about beer and food pairing, the Brewmaster’s Table.
About Garrett Oliver Garrett Oliver is the brewmaster of The Brooklyn Brewery, the author of The Brewmaster’s Table, and the Editor-in-Chief of The Oxford Companion to Beer. He has been brewing craft beer since 1989 and is a veteran of over 1000 beer dinners and tastings in 16 countries. An original board member of Slow Food USA, he later went on to become a Councilor of Slow Food International. In 2014 Garrett was the recipient of the James Beard Award as the country's top drinks professional. In 2020 he founded the Michael James Jackson Foundation for Brewing and Distilling (MJF), a 501(c)(3) grant-making non-profit organization that funds scholarships for technical education in the brewing and distilling fields for people of color. In 2022, Garrett was "enthroned" by the Knights of The Brewer's Fork of Belgium, descendants of the ancient brewer's guild.

Beer Travelers: Brooklyn with Courtney Iseman and Chris Maestro (Ep. 4)
01:04:09
In this episode of Beer Travelers, we visit Brooklyn, New York, with its frenetic pace to its quiet neighborhood bars, and all the haze, lager, and sour beers you could ever want.
Brooklyn was once one of the world’s great brewing centers. Home to nearly 50 breweries in 1900, the borough brewed a ton of beer under brands names like Schaefer, Rheingold, and many others lost to history. But that came to an end by the mid-1970s and the borough’s mashtuns went silent for the next 20 years. That was until 1987 when Steve Hindy Tom Potter decided to open up their own brewery in a warehouse district in Williamsburg. Named after the borough it inhabited, Brooklyn Brewery would go on to spread the word of craft beer around the globe and become one of the early pioneers of the resurgent modern American beer scene.
It took a while for brewing to catch on again in Brooklyn but slowly others opened, including Kelso and Sixpoint. And then there was the third wave of craft brewers, with names such as Other Half, Threes, and Finback. Today, Brooklyn's beer scene is top notch and the borough's bars and breweries make for an easy and exciting night out.
After falling in love with it after my first visit, I trek down to Brooklyn a couple times a year including in December for an annual holiday themed pub and brewery crawl. It remains a favorite place to visit and drink and I look forward to exploring it with two great local experts.
Courtney Iseman is a freelance writer who has written engaging pieces for Vinepair, Craft Beer and Brewing, as well as her own newsletter, Hugging the Bar. She's a compelling voice in beer and has written extensively about everything from diversity and inclusion to her favorite local Brooklyn pubs, including about the bar owned by our second guest.
Chris Maestro is a DJ, avid record collector, educator, and also the co-owner with his wife of Bierwax, a beer bar with outposts in both Brooklyn and Queens. The Prospect Heights based bar focuses on great beer and music, played analog style from one of Chris’s thousands of vinyl records that line the back of the bar. He was in the beer business before opening his own shop and is a Brooklyn native.
It’s a big borough and there’s a lot of ground to cover in this episode. So let’s get started with our tour of Brooklyn, New York, with writer Courtney Iseman and publican Chris Maestro.

Biotransformation are flavor- and aroma-releasing reactions during brewery fermentation. Lately, there has been much discussion of biotransformation in hoppy beers like IPAs where bound thiols are released when yeast interacts with them. So hops provide not only bittering acids and flavorful oils, and yeast provides not only alcohol and esters, but the combination of yeast interacting with hop chemicals (and sometimes malt chemicals) produces new flavors. New research into biotransformation is causing brewers to reexamine how they use hops, how they choose malts and how they ferment.

It is both fun and interesting that the rise of craft beer was mirrored by the rise of the premium coffee house. In this episode of the All About Beer Podcast, we take a look at what makes great coffee great coffee and how that knowledge is necessary to make great coffee beer.

Myths are everywhere in beer. We don't know when certain breweries were actually created, when some brewing styles were invented, or we have preconceived notions of how certain things should be. In reality, they are not true at all. Beer writer Jeff Alworth has a phrase for some of these: romantic facts. Some are semi-accurate but the truth is stretched slightly, which hurts no one and helps create legend and lore either around a specific brewery or a brewing process. Alworth lays out a list of these romantic facts for this episode of the All About Beer podcast to dig through in a fun and engaging interview about what is the "truth" of beer and does it really matter?

There was a time when small breweries dotted the land, making beers beloved by the communities they served. Thanks to Prohibition, changing consumer preference or just the difficulties of running a business profitably, many such beers have been lost to the history books.
But small breweries specialize in connecting with their communities. And they can source small-batch or historic ingredients. So, some of today’s small breweries have been reviving lost brands, bringing nostalgia to older drinkers and offering new flavors to younger ones.
We chat with two breweries - Yazoo and Upland - about how they are satisfying our thirst for nostalgia.

Non-alcoholic beer is on the rise. Non-alcoholic beer is one of the few market segments where beer is actually growing. But non-alcoholic beer is hard to make, with many tasting “worty” or “stewed.” One brewery that has cracked the code on how to make non-alcoholic beer that actually tastes good is Guinness, Ireland’s famed stout brewer.
We talk with Guinness about how they make Guinness 0 and why it is so popular (it’s not just the taste). Non-alcoholic beer doesn’t have to be a sacrifice. What if beer drinkers could choose non-alcoholic beer because it is the “smarter” choice, but because it actually is the best beer option?

In the early days of craft beer, fruit was added to beer to offer something to people who didn’t like beer. These beers were typically made with syrups added to a beer and not a lot of thought went into them. Today, breweries are embracing fruit and building beers around them. The fruit is the focal point of the flavor and with increased scientific knowledge of how to work with fruit, brewers are pushing and pulling levers - microbes used to ferment the beer, when they add the fruit and how much and for how long - to bring forward all the right flavor chemicals. Modern fruit beer is bursting with flavor.
Guests
Bret Kollmann Baker is a founder and the COO of Urban Artifact in Cincinnati, Ohio. Urban Artifact is the countries largest fruit beer only brewery, using over 1,000,000 pounds of fruit per year. With degrees in chemical engineering and brewing science, Bret has been able to help build out a brewery dedicated to handling massive amounts of fruit puree. In addition, Bret is the Beer Ambassador for Les Vergers Boiron, helping them reach more professional breweries with their fruit purees. In his free time, writing, hiking, and working on the Brew Skies podcast are his pursuits of passion.
5 years ago, Steven Smith-Hay started Vault City Brewing after experimenting with heavily fruited, mixed fermentation sour beers and spotting a niche with huge potential in an otherwise crowded market. As a keen home brewer, Steven saw the accessibility of Vault City’s signature style as an opportunity to reach avid craft beer fans and non-beer drinkers alike. He has since seen the company grow from just two full-time employees to nearly 30 across Vault City’s brewery and its two bars. Steven’s past life as an IT consultant seems a world away in 2023, which makes for a good story about boring day jobs and exciting hobby-turned-career opportunities that may have otherwise remained a daydream.

On this episode of the All About Beer podcast hosts Em Sauter and Don Tse dive into the wonderful world of Kolsch.
Kölsch takes its name from the Cologne (Köln in German) dialect, which is known as Kölsch. The beer is a pale yellow, soft, refreshing ale, sometimes brewed with a touch of wheat malt and usually lightly hopped. It can be quite sweet from the malt or perhaps a bit more bitter from the hops, depending on the brewer. At a glance, a glass of kölsch can easily be mistaken for a standard pilsner, and perhaps that’s done on purpose in these modern times. Much like a pilsner, a typical kölsch is about 5 percent alcohol by volume in strength.
The only beer protected by the European Union, kölsch lays claim to an “appellation controllée.” At the Kölsch Convention in 1986, 24 breweries in Cologne and nearby towns agreed that a beer could only be called a “kölsch” if it met the following criteria:
1) Brewed in Cologne or the immediate area
2) Top fermented
3) Pale in color and clear
4) Filtered
5) Brewed between 11 and 14 degrees Plato (a brewer’s measuring unit)
6) Served in a 20-centiliter stange (a tall, narrow, straight-sided glass)

There is a lot of talk about freshness when it comes to beer. Some breweries encourage drinkers to keep cans cold and to drink fresh. Otheres go above and beyond to date stamp when a beer was packaged or by when it is best consumed.
What is freshness and why does it matter?
On this episode of the All About Beer podcast hosts Em Sauter and Don Tse talk with two experts in the field who offer perspective from both the brewery and the retail space.
John Kimmich co-founded The Alchemist in 2003 with his wife Jen. As Head Brewer of their company, John oversees all brewing operations, recipe development and quality control.

Pilsners have been enjoyed since their invention in Bohemia, now the Czech Republic, since their release in the fall of 1842. Since then, many iterations have been created and the pilsner has grown into one of the most beloved beer styles in the world. The beer continues to evolve and grow, with 21st century interpretations like the Italian pilsner to nods to the humble beginnings like using pitch lined wood barrels for aging. Pilsner is the Madonna of beer, constantly changing while always being authentically a star.

Beer Travelers: Brussels with Eoghan Walsh (Ep. 3)
01:08:37
Brussels is widely acknowledged as one of the world’s greatest beer cities. But according to today’s guest, author, podcaster, and beer writer Eoghan Walsh, it’s a curious distinction for a town that until recently only had a single brewery. On this third episode of the Beer Travelers podcast, we dive deep into the history and current state of beer and brewing in Brussels, Belgium. Eoghan has a point. Beer lovers, especially those here in the US, tend to canonize Belgium and Brussels. We speak adoringly of its cafe culture, the care with which each beer is served. Much of that stems from the unique place that a brewery such as Cantillon holds in the hearts of all beer fans. But in reality, the history of beer in Brussels has been up and down for the better part of a century. Even in more recent decades, the city’s beer and brewing scenes have been in great peril. Assisted in part by that adoration of beer geeks from around the globe, and of course their tourist dollars, Brussels is making a comeback. And today Eoghan Walsh walks us through the city’s vibrant and curious brewing history and updates on the status of things today and what is to come in its future. Eoghan runs Brussels Beer City, a great website you should visit, and he’s the author of a book of the same name as well as the more recently published A History of Brussels Beer in 50 Objects. For more on those endeavors, I recommend listening to the podcast that Eoghan and I recorded together back in January on Beer Edge. But today, we’re talking about Brussels and its beer scene and culture. It’s an incredibly informative conversation and it left me excited to return to Brussels and visit some of the spots Eoghan talks about.
We discuss Cantillon, Brasserie De La Senne, Le Source Brewing, and Mort Subite as well as many others during this podcast. Stay tuned at the end of the episode for one of my personal favorite suggestions for Brussels, another great place for a nightcap or to escape the crowds of the Grand Place and the tourist dens.
In this episode of Beer Travelers, we discover Brussels, from its robust days of brewing to its more humble yet growing modern times, we try to capture all the city has to offer in this episode.

Kernza is a new grain that has been bred with regenerative agricultural practices in mind. After decades of development, there is now a movement, supported by Patagonia Provisions, a division of the famous outerwear company, to use this perennial grain in brewing beer. Will brewers like how it performs in the brewhouse? Will consumers like the taste? It is too early to tell, and a lot of infrastructure is needed to make the grain more widely available, but Kernza is probably the biggest development in brewing grains in centuries.

Spontaneous fermentation may be the most unique brewing technique in the world and the beers they produce are just as interesting, with many flavors not seen outside these styles. But “spontaneous” doesn't really tell you anything about what goes into making lambic, gueuze and American made versions from insane boiling hours to months and years waiting to see if the beer is actually any good to sell. Today we talk to two producers: one a classic lambic house from the Senne River Valley and the brewery that defined American sour brewing.
Werner Van Obberghen is one of the owners of Brouwerij 3 Fonteinen.
In 2013, Armand Debelder and Michaël Blancquaert called upon Werner to help shaping the future of 3 Fonteinen. With his experience in strategy and with masters in finance and business economics, he is now responsible with Michaël for managing 3 Fonteinen and its team of twenty. Michaël takes care of the creative & operational side (brewing, blending, bottling, labelling) while Werner manages the business side (administration, sales, marketing, tasting room).
Michaël and Werner continue the life-long craftmanship of Armand and – inspired by his values and wishes – took 3 Fonteinen a step further. Longer barrel ageing, a local cereal and hop collective with farmers, a network of families with Schaarbeekse sour cherries, a direct relation with some of the most progressive biodynamic wine makers are just a few examples.
Jeffrey Stuffings grew up on the gulf coast of Florida. He studied government at Notre Dame and law at Boston College. While in law school, he discovered homebrewing and craft beer. He and his wife Amber moved to Texas 2007. Shortly thereafter, Jeff began working on starting Jester King with Amber (co-founder) and brother Michael Steffing (co-founder).
Today, Jeffrey focuses on beer making and Jester King’s operations. He and Amber live in the Dripping Springs, Texas area and have two children Laura and George.

Beer Travelers: Chicago with Nik and Chalonda White (Ep. 1)
00:56:42
With nearly 10,000 breweries in the US, and countless thousands more around the world, it can feel next to impossible to figure out where to go. That’s where the Beer Travelers podcast comes in. Each episode we’ll take a deep dive into a local beer scene, highlighting its best breweries, taprooms, and local wonders. And I hope we’ll leave listeners feeling as if they’re locals equipped with a plan of where to have their next pint.
We’ve all spent enough time at home on our couches ticking off new beers; it’s time to get out and explore the greater world of beer.
On the first episode of the new Beer Travelers podcast from All About Beer, we start where it all began for our host Andy Crouch, his hometown of Chicago. And Andy has two of the best to help guide our exploration. Nik White and Chalonda White represent two of the freshest voices in craft beer. Chalonda, better known as Afro Beer Chick on social media, is a force of nature and her husband Nik is an old school Chicago beer guy who co-runs Chicago Beer Pass. Together, this dynamic husband and wife team are about as knowledgeable about their local scene as anyone we can think of.
We discuss all the great Chicago breweries, where to get the best lagers, IPAs, and sour beers.

In the last few years hop water has seen explosive growth. For many, it’s a non-alcoholic beverage that scratches the beer itch. But like all things beer, there’s more to it than meets the eye. There is a lot of thought and technique into how to extract the desirable flavors of hops and without malt providing balance, hop water recipes are as carefully constructed as beer recipes.

Before there was brut IPA, cold IPA, NEIPA, black IPA and white IPA, west coast IPA reigned supreme. Like all IPA, hops are the star of the show in west coast IPA, but for all of their attributes: their bitterness, aroma and flavor. But the best IPAs, those that win gold medals, are built on the right water profile and supporting foundation of malt. Fermentation matters, too. Arguably, the American craft beer industry was built on west coast IPA, so let’s take a look at what builds great west coast IPA.

Marshmallow Beer: All of the Facts with None of the Fluff
00:37:47
Who doesn’t like marshmallows? Ancient Egyptians were the first to enjoy a gooey treat now called marshmallow as early as 2000 BC. Today, whether it’s in a hot cup of cocoa on a cold winter’s night, or smooshed with chocolate between graham crackers around the campfire, marshmallows are a fun way to add a little sweetness to life. But what about marshmallow in beer?
Marshmallows add sweetness to beer, obviously. But quality marshmallows have other flavors, too. In the hands of a skilled brewer, marshmallows can be used to make novel beers that please tastebuds and even evoke childhood memories. Marshmallows are more than just a cylindrical confection sold in bulk at the grocery store. It’s time to understand the true art of marshmallow beer.

Drink beer fresh! Or not? Of course, beers like IPAs demand they be drunk fresh, lest you want to drink a shoebox but some Belgian styles, sours as well as high ABV stouts and barleywines can be aged for years, creating new flavors and unlocking their true potential. Our guests, author of Vintage Beers Patrick Dawson, Brickstore Pub owner Neil Callaghan and Mike Foniok of The Establishing Brewing Company talk about do’s and don’ts when it comes to laying down some choice brews to hold for special occasions or anytime.

The French Pilsner is a beer style that some craft lager focused breweries have been making lately, especially throughout America.
But what is a French pilsner? Is it made by French breweries? Does it have traditional roots in France? What do French hops and malt add to this lager? What are its brewing techniques and how are they utilized?
On this episode we talk with two brewers- one from Southern France and one from America about this up-and-coming beer style and how the French pilsner fits into the evolution of lagers.

Denver holds a special place in my heart. I’ve watched as the local beer scene has grown and then exploded, with dozens and dozens of breweries cropping up in parts of town that didn’t even really exist, such as RiNo. Denver has long had a formidable beer scene but today it is one of the country’s best. And on this second episode of the Beer Travelers podcast, we’re going to talk with two local experts, Tristan Chan of PorchDrinking and Jonathan Shikes of the Denver Post. These two are as knowledgeable as they come and as we’ll hear, they are full of advice for planning your visit to the Mile High City.
Stay tuned at the end of the episode for my personal favorite suggestion for Denver. Hint: it’s the perfect place for a nightcap or to end your trip.

Kellerbier traces its history to when beer in Bavaria was stored in underground caves which were natural cellars - or kellers. “Kellerbier” means "cellar beer” and kellerbiers today are a throwback to old lagers. Naturally carbonated and unfiltered, kellerbiers are said to be more flavorful and with a softer mouthfeel. And modern brewers are taking the old idea and applying it to modern lagers, resulting in beer lovers rediscovering a love of lager.

There’s an episode of The Simpsons, notes co-host Don Tse, where an alien says to pronounce its name correctly, it would have to pull out your tongue.
"I think Kveik is like that," says Tse on saying the yeast strain out loud.
The Norwegian farmhouse yeast seems to be everywhere these days after decades in obscurity from the larger world. Brewers of all sizes have embraced Kveik and all its strains to create ales and lagers of note and to embrace its hearty nature that results in fast fermentation times.
On the third episode of the All About Beer Podcast Tse and co-host Em Sauter welcome two guests who have spent time mattping, examining, and brewing with Kveik.
Lily Schulz is the head brewer at Right Proper Brewing in Washington, D.C. and Richard Priess is the director of Escarpment Labs and together they break down all there is to know and experience about this remarkable yeast.

Beer Travelers: Portland, Oregon. America's Best Lager City?
01:05:48
Oregon is pretty close to my own personal idea of perfection. It has a little bit of everything, from vibrant, engaging cities, to sweeping, picturesque coastlines, and mountain high deserts. While the landscape is fascinating, the people and the culture might surpass it. Tucked into the northwestern corner of this Pacific Northwest gem of a state is a city with an outsized beer reputation. Today we’re exploring Portland, Oregon. Known for its outdoor friendly lifestyle, craft breweries, coffee scene, and the looming presence of nearby Mount Hood, Portland is vibrant, lively, and full of character and characters.
And in this episode, we explore not only the great local beer scene but the cast of characters who have put Portland firmly in the center of any discussion about the world’s greatest beer cities. And to do so, we’re joined today by perhaps the two best sources for the local beer scene.
Jeff Alworth is a long-time beer writer, author of several books, including The Beer Bible, and the co-host of the Beervana Podcast. He has taught courses about beer and the business of beer and has freelanced for a bunch of publications. He is also one of the last beer bloggers standing. Jeff frequently posts his thoughts on beer, culture, and business at his award-winning blog, Beervana. He is a passionate advocate for all things Portland beer and we’re lucky to have him this week to help guide us.
Our second guest is Ezra Johnson-Greenough, who is the founder of The New School, which is a great webmagazine covering beer and cider in Oregon and Washington. New School is the kind of resource that every beer loving region would be lucky to have and as Jeff says, Ezra is the most plugged in source to the beer happenings in Portland you’ll find. A native Portlander, Ezra covers beer industry news, style trends, and does interviews and offers commentary, along with organizing festivals and events.
Stay tuned at the end of the episode to hear my favorite local place to have a beer and the place is a true character itself. No one episode could hope to capture all that Portland has to offer but that’s not our purpose on this show. We’re here to talk about the best of Portland’s beer scene. So let’s get our Portland visit started with special guests Jeff Alworth and Ezra Johnson-Greenough.

Decoction mashing is a traditional method of stepping the water and grains through different temperature stops in brewing by taking a portion of the brew to a separate vessel, bringing it to a boil, then returning it to the main mash. It is laborious. And it is time consuming. But proponents of decoction mashing say it is worth the extra effort.

From fields filled with hope that eventually turn into dreams, the business, science, and education that goes into growing hops is exciting.
On this episode of the All About Beer Podcast hosts Em Sauter and Don Tse are joined by author and journalist Stan Hieronymus and Shaun Townsend, Associate Professor, Senior Research in the Crop and Soil Sciences Department at Oregon State University.
Together they go through hop breeding, naming, and how growing hops has been impacted by climate change.
