This week Bob and I talk about a strange concept called smart brew that allows a restaurant, pub, or bar to brew their own beer in a space of only 150sq feet. Essentially the smart brew company creates the wort based on the style of beer you are looking to serve. The concept removes the brew house and lets the establishment focus on fermentation, dry hopping, fining, and serving. We discuss what if any impact this could have on the brewing industry as a whole. We also discuss Ohio issuing its 400th brewery permit.
During the interview segment of the show, we sat down with Mike Piazza who is the head brewer and co-owner of Blue Heron Brewery. We discussed his love of English style beers as well as getting started in home brewing and making the journey from an award-winning homebrewer making 10 to 15 gallons to becoming a professional brewer on a 10BBL system. We enjoyed some great beer with Mike as well as some great stories and tons of laughs.
At the end of the show we introduced a new segment called “Just one more”. The first beer featured in Just one more is a NEIPA brewed by our good friend and co-host Bob from Wrecking Crew Brew Works. Listen as we discuss this uniquely complex beer.
