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 history, agriculture, brewing processes, wars, laws, and even marketing, iconic beers have rich stories. It's the job of the brewery to make a great beer, but we're tasked with finding the reason that beer matters. You'll get a demonstration of this process midway through the show as John makes the case for an unlikely icon, so listen for that. And looking forward, we're in the process of lining up a slate of future shows, so expect the story of another iconic beer next month.

By understanding the way water chemistry impacts the sensory quality of finished beer, and by analyzing fermentation and other data, brewers can control sensory aspects of their product like never before. Sennos put together a free eBook that breaks down water chemistry fundamentals every brewer should know — no fluff, just the fundamentals. Download Water Chemistry for Brewers at sennos.com Berkeley Yeast Our Tropics yeast is based on a London Ale strain, but we added a new gene to its genome that codes for a unique thiol-releasing enzyme. The enzyme converts the precursors in barley to free thiols that smell and taste like passionfruit and grapefruit. It’s super clean. No off-flavors like burnt rubber or other sulfurous notes. Just tropical aromatics. You don’t have to do anything unusual either, like mash hopping. Just pitch dry Tropics and supercharge your hazy IPA.

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 helles are not inapt. Far from bland, an annual cream ale festival showcases the art of this American classic.
