Podcast Update/New Podcast

You may have noticed that there hasn’t been a new Beervana Podcast for awhile. (Surely you were waiting on the edge of your seat!) This has to do with our transition to All About Beer On-Air. We’ve finally worked out some of the kinks, and we’ve got one podcast in the can, and one available today. The good news is that we’ve tried to really step up our game. I’m prouder of today’s podcast than any we’ve done. It is a nuanced discussion about the experiences of women working in the beer industry. We were joined by Sarah Pederson (owner of Saraveza), writer Lucy Burningham, brewer Natalie Baldwin (Burnside Brewing), Pink Boots Society Executive Director Emily Engdahl, and homebrewer, professional brewer, and now professional distiller Lee Hedgmon (they’re in that order in the picture below).

I’m proud of it partly because we managed to pull off the technical feat of recording in Saraveza’s Bad Habit Room, partly because Patrick and I mostly stayed quiet for once, but mostly because the conversation was one of the most interesting, insightful, and revealing discussions you’re going to hear on this topic.

Our next episode is also a special one. Ron Pattinson has been working on a project with Mike Siegel at Goose Island to recreate a stock pale ale. I interviewed them last week, and Patrick and I listen to that interview and learn a ton about recreating historic recipes, the history of hops and barrel-aging, and taste a bottle of this totally unexpected beer. (You hear people say beers are unlike anything they’ve tasted pretty often, but in this case it’s really true.)  So look for that one.

Also note that this podcast will still be available in all your regular locations–Soundcloud, iTunes, and Google Play. In our first AAB pod, it was originally located on a feed hosted by AAB, but we’ve since decided to put it in both places. As a final note, please consider subscribing and if you’re an iTunes subscriber, rating the Beervana Podcast. We’re hoping to build the listenership, and ratings help boost us. Thanks and enjoy–
