The Brew is Out There! The Maltose Falcons needed a lot of beer for our 45th Anniversary Party and we got some of our favorite breweries in LA involved in the mayhem. In this episode, Drew sits done with the wild and wacky crew at Transplants Brewing Company to discuss making a Pumpkin Beer that's not a Pumpkin Beer in more than just one way. And then Drew shares his thoughts on the final beer along with the recipe that inspired it.

Denny and Drew are recovering from their road trip! So here's a revisit of our very first Q&A show It's Episode 10 and it's finally time to see if we're as smart as we say we are. We discuss the listener response to our Session Beer efforts and promise to post a kickass list of session beer recipes. (Link below) We run off to the pub and discuss the recently concluded Pacific Northwest Homebrewers Conference and the lameness of “pink washing” and silly sexism. And then to the lecture hall where “Professors” Denny and Drew sit down and try and see how long they can fake actually knowing anything. For listener ease we've broken the questions up into categories so you can find things more easily. OVer the course of twenty some odd questions we tackle questions about ingredients, process, styles, yeast and everything else. Before we leave, Drew gives a brief shout out to two very impactful passings that recently occurred. One to the man whose decision in the 70's still impacts us to this day. The other, well, that one's more important to Chihuahua owners.

In this episode Drew sits down in conversation with Douglas Amport and John LaPolla – founders of New York City's only homebrew shop – Bitter & Esters.

The Brew is Out There! We've been talking a lot about lower alcohol beers recently – part of a trend – but a real problem for these beers is fewer ingredients means fewer chances to inject flavor. Drew sits down with Phil Jensen and talks about using a by-product of the flour milling industry to boost beer flavor. They may be called “middlings”, but their impact is anything but. Sit back – it's time to taste some beer!

The Brew is Out There! American Light Lager is by far and away, the most popular style of beer in America. No matter how much we gnash our teeth about it, it's the truth.

Over the last decade, Asheville has become a mecca of breweries, but perhaps none of them have the dedication to history and brewing as a passion as the improbably tiny Zebulon Artisan Ales helmed by long time brewer, former homebrew shop owner and man of odd business hours, Mike Karnowski. Drew sat down with Mike and covered the beer (including a really satisfying 1% Mild on handpump and other treats), the business and the meaning of beer in a world suddenly awash in breweries.

The Brew is Out There! In the world of beer, we hold this truth to be self-evident – Non-Alcoholic beer sucks. Does it have to, though? With growing interest in healthier options, there's a movement afoot to make craft inspired non-alcoholic beer. Drew sits down with Bill Shufelt of Athletic Brewing to discuss what's wrong with the NA beer of the past and what made him open a non-alcoholic brewery. And of course, we'll give the beers a taste and see how close they come to the hard stuff.

But on this episode, we wanted to step back and take a look at where we started on our journey of New England “Hazy” IPA (Episode 15), revisit one of the strange beer ideas Drew still gets questions about with Russell Everett's Cool Ranch Beer from Bainbridge Brewing(Episode 23) and the infamous Gin discussion that some of you probably didn't get to because it was in our April Fools episode (Episode 63).
