In this episode, we recap some of our experiences at the 2018 Homebrewcon in Portland, OR and we have the results of our second British Golden Ale recipe experiment in studio to discuss the recipe changes we made and whether they resulted in a better version of the style and a more crushable beer.

In this episode, we have our friends from The Collective Brewing Project back in studio with us to discuss what they’ve been up to recently and to help discuss making additions to your beer to change that flavor profile. It’s most often fruit and wood, but we hope to branch out into a few other interesting areas and lately The Collective has been catching some nationwide notoriety for some of their experiments. Then, later in the show we have a phone-in discussion with Josh Noel, beer writer for the Chicago Tribune and author of the recently released Barrel Aged Stout and Selling Out: Goose Island, Anheuser-Busch, and How Craft Beer Became Big Business.
