  • A special episode of the All About Beer Podcast with Em Sauter and Don Tse:


    The New England IPA (NEIPA) or Hazy IPA has come to dominate the beer landscape with most breweries having at least one (or sometimes entire portfolios) devoted to the beer style. But how did this happen? In 2013, a small group of breweries in New England, all of which were quite tiny at the time, began to brew a beer that took what we knew of as IPA (bitter, clear) and turned it on its head, creating a thickish, orange colored beer with tons of hop flavor but not a lot of bitterness.


    The world took notice and all of a sudden, the NEIPA was a worldwide phenomenon. Let’s go back to the beginning and talk to two brewers from New England who were in the room when it happened, their experiences with the beginning of the trend and how it has changed their approach to brewing today.

  • Over the last month the news coverage out of Los Angeles has been terrifying and heart breaking. A number of fires, driven by the wind, have claimed lives and tens of thousands of homes. Lives are up ended and rebuilding will take years or more. Brewers are used to stepping up in these situations, be it fires, hurricanes, or other natural disasters, there’s a good bet that within a few days of something terrible happening, a collaboration beer will pop up. Brewers anywhere can make it and then donate processed to relief efforts or specific charities.

    Common Space Brewing stepped up this time with the We Love LA beer, and brewery co-founder Brent Knapp is here to talk about the origins of the beer and how folks can help. He’s joined by Brian Avery of Bravery Brewing, who is also the president of the LA Brewers Guild. Both joined me via zoom.
