On this week's show, we basically lean on JP again for content. He delivers an American Red Ale, which is a clone of the famous St. Rogue Red from Rogue Ales, and then a homebrewed Kombucha. At this point, we need to seriously invest in creating a Kombucha score sheet ... Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices ..read more

Friend of the show Vito is back, and this time he's teaching us a thing or two!

As craft beer drinkers, we're always on the lookout for brands we have yet to encounter, and on today's show we talk about one such brewery found at our local Asian Market .. Baeren Beer. The two styles on offer were a Dortmunder Export and a Schwarzbier, not your typical styles just found floating on a random shelf somewhere. Plus, we talk about non-alcoholic beers, so that's fun.

Our friend Barry over at Lucky Envelope Brewing in Seattle recently subjected himself to a brew day with Warren and Dave Marliave. The beer that resulted was something called a Swiss Red Ale, and while that style doesn't really exist, Barry still wanted our feedback on it. Who are we to turn down a brewer in need, right? We also chat about homebrew vs. commercial judging, how they differ, and the best ways to tackle entering each. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices ..read more

Czech Pale Lager needs to come in unassuming and almost nebulous to your senses. It's not an easy style to nail, and lucky for us we have a great example of one on today's show. Then we are joined again by Ryan from Old Standby Brewing Co, to tell us about a couple of new collaborations for charity he's done recently. Learn more about your ad choices.

We're a "One Beer, ONe Guest" kind of a show this week, as we welcome Julia Herz, Executive Director of the American Homebrewers Association! Julia sent us her version of an English Bitter - a style we will always accept - and we had a lot of fun trying to break down her recipe. Then, we chatted about Julia's book, "Beer Pairing: The Essential Guide From The Pairing Pros" - a fantastic look at a better way you pair your beers with food. Learn more about your ad choices.
