    This episode on regenerative practices was fascinating! Have you considered (or already done) episodes on Kernza (a perennial with soil-stabilizing roots vs. the annual barley) or Fonio (drought tolerant, which Garrett Oliver is passionate about)?

  • Great Content, Horrible Host

    This podcast has a lot of great content. It has brewers from around the world talking about their beers, with information that would appeal to craft beer drinkers, home brewers, and pro brewers. But what keeps it from being a great podcast is the host. Early episodes were hosted by John Holl who both knows the brewing industry like the back of his hand and has a voice that sounds like he belongs on NPR. He asked informed questions and wasn’t afraid to ask uncomfortable questions to brewers about... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

493: Podcast 493: Fresher Than Fresh! Jake Watt of Trap Door Utilizes Hot- and Cold-Side Techniques in Award-Winning Wet-Hopped IPAs
Q: What is the core philosophy behind your fresh-hop process and how do you select varieties?
The approach centers on treating fresh hops like a year-round ingredient system, choosing varieties first by harvest timing and flavor potential, then integrating them with a consistent 20 pounds per barrel rule and a hot-back method to maximize lupulin extraction while maintaining beer balance.
493: Podcast 493: Fresher Than Fresh! Jake Watt of Trap Door Utilizes Hot- and Cold-Side Techniques in Award-Winning Wet-Hopped IPAs
Q: How did your background lead you to focus on fresh-hop, hot-side beers?
Jake describes his path from homebrewing with his dad, through Oregon State's program, working at Crux Fermentation and Buoy Brewing, and finally taking over Trap Door to aggressively pursue a hot-side fresh-hop approach that balances aroma, flavor, and shelf stability.
492: Building Better Gateways into Brewing, Produced in Partnership with Pinter
Q: Can you talk about how you work with breweries and how a brewery can reach out to you?
We expand the partnership program by working closely with brands to define what they want to achieve, whether it's replicating an existing beer, reviving a retired favorite, or launching a brand-new co-branded product. The process involves iterating with the brewery, testing options, gathering feedback, and refining until the beer meets the brand's and customers' expectations.
487: Ben Allgood and Brady Jones of Geisthaus are Finding their Brewing Identity by Focusing on Lager
Q: Tell me about your beer history and how Geisthaus came to fruition.
We grew up as best friends, started homebrewing together, and after careers in electronics and firefighting, moved back to Sacramento to pursue brewing. We joined with a third partner and built a two-vessel brewery that focuses on lagers, driven by a desire to make high-quality lagers with an approachable, European-influenced, neighborhood brewery model.
Episode 489: The Post’s Nick Tedeschi Brews Flavorful Low-ABV Beers for Great Times with Great Food
Q: What makes the malt liquor unique?
The use of malted corn, a specific yeast (Andechs), and a focus on clean fermentation with low bitterness, resulting in a balanced, drinkable beer that still carries malt-forward character.
