We’re launching something new. Source Material is a podcast series from Firestone Walker and Craft Beer & Brewing Magazine and it’s built around a simple idea: the ingredients in your beer have a story. So do the people who make them possible.
Hosted by CB&B editor Jamie Bogner, the series features four conversations with Firestone Walker brewers and the growers, farmers, and experts they work with around the world. We’ll get into hops from New Zealand, grain from family farms, the science of quality, and what it looks like when craft brewing truly takes root.
Here’s what’s coming:
Episode 1 — Quality is a Verb with Sam Tierney and Patrick Avanelle from Allagash.
Episode 2 — Deep Roots and Twisting Bines (April 21) with Tim Miller and New Zealand hop grower Brent McLashan.
Episode 3 — Anywhere and Everywhere (May 5) with Dustin Kral and Bud Hollingberry of Hollingberry Farms.
Episode 4 — The Science and the Art (May 19) with Brewmaster Matt Brynildson.
Subscribe wherever you get your podcasts. The first episode drops April 14. We made these conversations because we think the people and the ingredients deserve to be heard, and we think you’ll agree.
