In the early days of craft beer, hopping was limited to bittering hops, flavor hops and aroma hops, added early, late and later in the boil. Then dry hopping became very popular, particularly with IPAs. As hops came to dominate the craft beer discussion, brewers began experimenting with all manner of hopping techniques in an effort to extract new, interesting and stable hop flavors and boost the overall hoppiness in their beers. What are all these hopping techniques and what do they do?

When co-host Em Sauter was in Australia in 2019, she was exposed to the Pacific ale, a style of beer that was refreshing, sessionable, and something she was surprised was only limited to Australia. Five years later, Em is still surprised that this beer style (which has only grown in popularity in its native country) is still not really well known to people outside of Australia.

She hopes this episode will help educate more people about this excellent beer style. On this episode Em and Don Tse chat with two Australians. First, Briony Liebich, who is an Australian beer educator and sensory professional about the flavors and aromas of this style. Then Caolan Vaughan, Head Brewer at Stone and Wood Brewing Co., who invented the beer style.

For a time, all beer was made from foraged ingredients. Gruits were made from herbs and spices growing nearby and reflected the land around the home of the brewer. As hops skyrocketed in popularity and as standard, industrial lager took over the world, beer from interesting plants have been all but forgotten. Thankfully, there are breweries and beer lovers re-discovering the joys of beers made from foraged ingredients. Foraged beer offers culinary surprises, reflect terroir and paint a unique liquid portrait of the land from which they came.
