Brewing Traditional Continental European Styles with Hagen Dost from Dovetail Brewery – Ep. 428

17 april 2025 | min

Welcome back, my friend. Let me tell you – Todd and I had a FANTASTIC trip out to Chicago. I’ve never actually been, outside of a layover here and there, so it was great getting to visit a wonderful craft beer city. Specifically, we got to hang out a lot with the crew at Dovetail Brewery. They are not only making incredible beer in the heart of Chicago, they’re also true to style in every regard – from using the right ingredients, old world brewing methods, the proper glassware, and especially those beautiful CMBecker faucets. We had a great chat with one of their brewer-owners, Hagen Dost, that I am confident you’re also going to enjoy.

So, with all of that being said – it’s time for another episode of our Homebrew Happy Hour podcast!… THE home brew #podcast where we answer all of your home brewing questions and discuss anything related to craft beer! This week, I’m so happy that Todd and James are both on the show. It was a great time recording and we covered a lot of ground, I think.
