All About Beer

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 his...

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 helle...

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 Iconi...

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 Ur...

But speaking of yeast, while “a B...

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 Wis...
