On this show, we’re joined by home brewer Eric Hoffer. His cheap and imaginative approach to brewing translates to some tasty beer. Brewing in a bag, lagering at 70+ degrees, and culturing his own wild yeast are just a handful of the tricks we discuss. Eric isn’t just brewing another IPA either; he’s digging deep into some forgotten styles including a doppelbock, dry-hopped pilsner, and the simplest style of ale, cream ale. Eric’s love of beer, brewing, and ingenuity inspire us all to get back to brewing ourselves.

Thanks to Eric for sharing his homebrews and his unique and enlightening take on homebrewing!

Episode 194 – St. Patrick’s Day is synonymous with beer, and we have a beer podcast, so I guess we’re drinking Irish beers this week?

St. Patrick’s Day—why do well celebrate it? Well, according to Wikipedia:

Saint Patrick’s Day (Irish: Lá Fhéile Pádraig), or the Feast of Saint Patrick, is a cultural and religious celebration held on 17 March, the traditional death date of Saint Patrick, the foremost patron saint of Ireland.

…Celebrations generally involve public parades and festivals, cèilidhs, and the wearing of green attire or shamrocks. Christians who belong to liturgical denominations also attend church services and historically the Lenten restrictions on eating and drinking alcohol were lifted for the day, which has encouraged and propagated the holiday’s tradition of alcohol consumption.

This week on the show, Jason thought it was appropriate to celebrate this special day in America by opening Irish beers, of course. So crack open a bottle of Guinness and get to celebrating! Just don’t drink the green beer…
