Editor’s note: this last paragraph will just remain as-is for future posts until this lockdown is over.

We hope you’re safe. We know this sucks right now. We miss our friends and family, socializing, and even going for a run without having to wear a mask, but this is temporary and staying at home as much as possible, while also keeping our distance from others in public, is something we must all do. That being said, we live in a great time in history where we have a robust internet that allows us all to stay in contact, see each other’s faces, and even get together once a week for a virtual happy hour.

We’ll be recording episodes once a week from here out, which is actually pretty cool for those who normally can’t make it to our typical monthly recording sessions. We’ll be having guests on the show, trying new beers, and continuing to keep doing our thing the best we can. Thanks for sticking with us. We’ll get through this.

Now, on with the show!

BREW THE SHIT OUT OF IT.
WASH YOUR HANDS.
WEAR A MASK.
DON’T BE AN ASSHOLE.

Episode 253 – This week on the show, we explore craft beer’s venture into the world of "light" and fitness-minded beer, and discuss why this is a win for consumers, as well as craft and independent breweries.

Subscribe to The Four Brewers Podcast:

One of the latest trends in craft beer currently is making beers that actually appeal to a broader market of consumers outside of craft beer enthusiasts. Why are they doing this? Well, why not?! This week on the show, we’re going to the lighter side of beers and drinking light lagers, light IPA (well, that’s what John calls it…) and even fitness-minded beers!

Pictured: Beers from Funk Factory, Revolution Brewing, and New Glarus.

Light lager isn’t a style of beer that one would normally associate with craft and independent beer. It’s a style that has typically been avoided due to breweries trying to make themselves stand out in the market by making beers that are far more flavorful and interesting than the macro-brewed light lager. The question begs, however, why should light lager and lower calorie beers be reserved just for the big breweries? Is there anything actually “wrong” with drinking and brewing these styles of beer? This week, we focus on that question while trying some of the best “light” beer we could get our hands on.
