Listen "Pod Extra: Setting the Record Straight on How IPAs Came to Be"
Episode Synopsis
A Breakside-Beervana Fireside Chat.
How did the American IPA tradition start? Are West Coast beers just about the bitter? Did hazies change everything? What did West Coast breweries take from the east—and how much did East Coast breweries crib from the west? Are there actually two different traditions? Just one? Dozens? American brewers, in reinventing IPAs, have changed the way the world makes beer. But how accurately do we understand our own story? We will get to the bottom of this once and for all.
Guests: Noah Bissell, Co-founder of Bissell Brothers Brewing (Portland, ME)
Vinnie Cilurzo, Co-founder and Brewmaster, Russian River Brewing (Santa Rosa, CA)
Mitch Steele, Co-owner and Brewmaster of New Realm (Atlanta), former Brewmaster of Stone Brewing
(Alexandra Nowell, sadly, was sick and couldn't join)
