One Iconic Beer: Behind the Scenes
In this episode, we’re doing something different. John Holl, the editor of All About Beer and the producer of this show, is going to join Jeff to discuss iconic beers. Now that we've recorded 7 episodes of the show, it's worth taking a step back and considering the concept of a classic or iconic.
We're also going to discuss storytelling and the way a good iconic beer has something to say. With history, agriculture, brewing processes, wars, laws, and even marketing, iconic beers have rich stories. It's the job of the brewery to make a great be...

AAB 097: America’s Original Beer Style–Cream Ale
Cream ale is a truly American beer style. Reflecting the agriculture of the northeast where the style originates, cream ale showcases corn and high diastatic power malt. In many respects, it is a simple beer: regular corn, simple malt and light hopping. But its simplicity is its superpower.
Cream ale is an easy-drinking beer that remains a regional favorite to this day. Comparisons to German helles are not inapt. Far from bland, an annual cream ale festival showcases the art of this American classic.

One Iconic Beer: Pliny the Elder
American IPAs have been brewed up and down the West Coast for over 45 years. In that time, they changed a lot. One of the most important moments for the style's evolution came in 1999, when Russian River released an early example of a double IPA. Pliny the Elder used techniques we now consider completely standard, but which were uncommon and even controversial then. In today's episode of One Iconic Beer, we hear from the beer's creator, Russian River co-founder Vinnie Cilurzo, and another West Coast legend, former Stone brewmaster and author of the book IPA, Mitch Steele. They tell the...

Oktoberfest Traditions Past and Present: How Germans and Americans Celebrate The World's Most Famous Beer Event

One Iconic Beer: Pilsner Urquell
One beer “gave us a vocabulary that includes the word pilsner for a style of beer, the word pilsner for a type of malt, and the word pilsner for a type of glassware,” observes the Prague-based writer Evan Rail. “No other brewery has had that type of impact,” he concludes.
He isn’t exaggerating. It’s hard to argue that any other brewery or beer has had a greater impact on the world than Pilsner Urquell, the subject of this episode of One Iconic Beer. Among the first golden lagers ever made, it would soon spark a...

AAB: 095: Is Saison the Most Versatile Beer Style?
Saison has come to be defined by just the handful of commercial brewers who make it. But historically, “saison” was an umbrella term covering a broad spectrum of flavors. Modern brewers are now discovering ways to drive different aspects of the yeast that is the hallmark of saison.
Ironically, its thinking about water, grains and hops driving these yeast flavors. But speaking of yeast, while “a Belgian saison strain” is a common phrase, in fact, Brettanomyces is often key in making the style.
Far from being a singular style, saison of...

The Salvo Advantage - How Peaceful Side Brewing is Adding Flavor Without Sacrificing Beer Loss.
In this bonus episode of the All About Beer Podcast, Chris Meadows, Head of Brewery Operations at Peaceful Side Brewery in Maryville, Tennessee, shares how Hopsteiner’s advanced hop products helped the brewery reformulate two flagship beers while achieving improvements in cost, yield, shelf stability, and flavor.
IPA’s are a double edge sword for most breweries. IPA’s sell the most but are often more expensive to make and distribute sustainably. By tweaking a few key ingredients, Peaceful Side Brewing was able to reduce production cost and routinely gain an additional 1.5 to 2 barrels of finished beer f...

One Iconic Beer: New Glarus Wisconsin Belgian Red
In 1993, Deb and Dan Carey released Wisconsin Belgian Red, the third beer they made at their new Wisconsin brewery, New Glarus. It was one of the country’s first “sour” ales, and it created quite a stir, and not just because it was so unusual. The Careys weren’t on a momentary flight of fancy. Rather, Dan Carey, the brewer, had been experimenting with wild ales for six years, and they intended Wisconsin Belgian Red to be a key part of their portfolio. Thirty three years later, it still is. On this episode, we’re going to hear from Jeff Sparr...

AAB 094: 18th Century Beer: How The Colonists Shaped American Beer
Beer has been an important staple of humanity for millennia. But how was beer important to the American colonists starting a new life in a distant place? The colonies lacked the comforts and foods of their homeland. How did they adapt and through this adaptation, change the drink they loved so much? In this episode, we'll talk to British food historian Marc Meltonville about myths, foods, and brewing/distilling in both England and the newly formed United States.
We'll also speak with Genesee Country Village and Museum senior director Brian Nagel and Rohrbach Brewing Co president Joel...

One Iconic Beer: Bass Ale
On this episode, you'll hear the remarkable story of Bass Pale Ale. This story begins at the dawn of the industrial age, and charts Bass’s rise as one of the first global brewing brands. Over the course of two centuries, its pale ales evolved to meet the times, and today we know Bass as one of Britain’s classic cask ales—a beer enjoying a current renaissance among the country’s pubs.
In many ways, in telling the story of Bass, we’re recounting the history of brewing in Britain over the past two centuries: its technol...
Building a Leaner, Meaner, More Cost Effective IPA
What if using less hops made beer more hoppy? In a series of trials one North Carolina brewery was able to prove, by using advanced hop products, thiol flavors could be boosted through efficient use of ingredients, rather than more-is-better. Better beer. Better efficiency. Lower cost. It’s a whole new way to use hops. And consumers are enthusiastic not only of the flavors, but also the lower price of the beer!
On this bonus episode, we are going to talk about thiolized flavor from advanced hop products. Host Don Tse talks with Hopsteiner and NoDa Brewing Company...

AAB: 93 The Budding Science of New Yeast Strains
Without yeast, there is no beer. Yeast occurs naturally and for millennia, it operated mysteriously. After the invention of the microscope, scientists could see and start to isolate and control yeast. Now, thanks to new scientific developments, there are new yeast strains, designed to work better in current breweries, with current ingredients and to produce currently in vogue flavors.
There is probably no other area in brewing where science is making beer better.

If you stop into most breweries and nearly any bar or restaurant in New England today, you’re going to see an IPA on the menu, and it will almost certainly be hazy. New England has one of the most distinctive beer cultures in the US. It wasn’t always like this, however. In fact, until about fifteen years ago, most New Englanders had never really encountered a hop.
