The episode explores the development and commercialization of White Labs' new WLP079 Suava yeast strain, a non-GMO, thiol-enhancing yeast derived from a Norwegian farmhouse strain and optimized through adaptive lab evolution. The strain is designed to deliver expressive, balanced thiol and ester profiles in hazy IPAs and other styles, while being robust enough for global distribution as a dry yeast. The process involved a multi-year collaboration between White Labs, Escarpment Labs, and Lallemand, combining scientific innovation with real-world brewery testing to ensure functionality, flavor, and commercial viability across diverse brewing environments.
Sun River Brewing, led by head brewer Patrick Roche, has quietly become a powerhouse in the craft beer world, racking up 19 major awards while evolving classic styles like American IPA and barrel-aged barleywine with precision and creativity. Their success lies in subtle, data-driven refinements, a deep respect for process, and a commitment to quality over scale.
In this episode of the Craft Beer Brewing Podcast, host Jamie Bognor visits Trap Door Brewing in Washougal, Washington, to sit down with brewer Jake Watt, a two-time GABF gold medalist for his fresh hop IPAs. They dive deep into the art and science of fresh hop beer, exploring Jake’s evolution from cold-side to hot-side processing, his innovative use of Cryo Fresh hops, and his philosophy of making fresh hop beers that are balanced, shelf-stable, and true to style.
The Craft Beer and Brewing Podcast, hosted by Joe Stange in place of Jamie Bogner, dives into the world of home brewing through a conversation with Paul Benner, U.S. CEO of Pinter, and Will Kirkham, Pinter’s head brewer. They explore how Pinter’s innovative brewing system makes crafting professional-quality beer at home simple, accessible, and fun—reviving the grassroots spirit of craft beer. The episode highlights Pinter’s engineering, partnerships with major breweries, and its potential to re-energize home brewing.
Contrary to common brewing belief, certain hop varieties like Citra and Strata maintain their key aromatic thiols and sensory profiles even after four years in cold storage, suggesting that older hops aren’t inherently inferior and could even offer 'vintage' value. The real threat to hop quality isn’t age, but oxygen exposure in packaging and improper storage conditions like room temperature.
The 250th anniversary of the United States offers a powerful lens to explore the deep, diverse roots of American brewing, where enslaved people, immigrants, and local innovators shaped a tradition of resilience, adaptation, and cultural fusion that continues today.
Nick Tedeschi, brewmaster at The Post in Colorado, shares how his brewery crafts award-winning, food-pairing-focused beers—especially low-alcohol and traditional styles like dark milds and malt liquors—by prioritizing consistency, hospitality, and clean fermentation with versatile yeast strains. The conversation highlights the art of brewing sessionable beers that enhance, rather than overpower, food experiences.
Wynn Whisenhunt, founder of Wondrous Brewing in Emeryville, California, built a brewery rooted in authenticity, simplicity, and reverence for both West Coast IPA and German lager traditions. His journey from teenage barback to award-winning brewer reflects a deep commitment to process, quality, and community over rapid growth.
