A Cider Tote
The Brew Is Out There!
On this week’s episode of the Brew Files, we get ready for the fall with a quick lesson in making America’s founding beverage – cider. We come at it from two different points of view (surprise!) since Denny has actual apple trees and Drew has a giant city surrounding him (but apple orchards a short drive away!) But together, we’ll get you to the right answer about to make great cider from some bad apples!

The Brew Is Out There!

We’re going way back in time with Dr. Travis Rupp, the Beer Archaeologist. We’re tackling the question of “what is beer”, “what has it been over the course of human history”, and “what does it mean for us as brewers today?” Also, why did the Romans steal everything, including the Greek disdain for beer?

The Brew Is Out There!
We had a question come in regarding “Holiday beers” – For Denny, that’s Bourbon Vanilla Imperial Porter. For Drew – that’s Falconsclaws. We’re pulling together two separate episodes to review Denny’s quick turnaround holiday gift beer and the Falcons’ not so quick monster lager beer, that’s due to be brewed on Dec 6!

The Brew Is Out There!
The American Brown Ale feels like almost a thing of the past, but how can you make this foundational style of American craft beer? Drew talks with Wayne Wambles of Cigar City Brewing about lessons learned from the multi-award winning Maduro Brown and where it both reflects and differs from the nebulous idea of the style.

The subject of water and most importantly, pH can be utterly confounding. Buffering capacity, acids, salt concentrations, “measurements expressed as” and temperature add to a mix of questions that baffle even experienced brewers. We sit down with Martin Brungard to work through common questions we see online to see if we can get answers!

We examine how he’s partnering with breweries to grow his brand – one beer at a time. Who says you need to own shining metal tanks to have great beer?

Programming Note: Sorry for the delay in new episodes. Drew has been sick, but hey – here's a new episode!
We all know it takes hard work, planning, great brewing and a bit of luck to win a homebrew competition, but what does it take to win an entire state – with just one beer? We sit down with Michael Gwynn, who did pretty much that – with an assist from a certain pandemic – to win the Oregon Homebrewer of the Year.
