Brewing TV #59 – The Big DIPA

This episode of Brewing TV all about the Double IPA (aka Imperial India Pale Ale). Brewing TV associates Kris England and Nathan Smith team up to brew a split-batch of DIPA as part of a dry-hop and yeast experiment. Then Dawson joins Kris for tasting notes and a bit of discussion about the important elements of a good Double IPA.

Brewing TV #58: Guess That Beer

What’s this: a homebrew challenge? In the latest episode of Brewing TV, Keeler and Dawson go head-to-head brewing mystery beers on a subzero brew day. Two months later, they put each other’s keen sense of beer dorkery to task with a taste-test. Plus, Fox 9’s M.A. Rosko stops by Jake’s kitchen and we bust out the guitar.

Brewing TV #57: Snow Day in Denver

What happens when three Minnesotans are “snowed-in” during a roadtrip to Denver? SNOW DAY! Brewing TV is forced to abandon plans for one episode — but salvage a day in Denver with visits to Denver Beer Company, Great Divide Brewing Company, and our first distillery Stranahan’s Colorado Whiskey. And we sit down for a chat with beer writer Ed Sealover. Let’s hope we see more beer-friendly laws here in Minnesota that allow for a thriving taproom scene similar to this!

PS – this episode is followed by two hardcore homebrewing episodes back home in the Twin Cities. Get your fermentors sanitized and ready for it!
