  • 370: Kari Williams of Snow Capped Cider Explores Terroir and Technique with a Generational Approach to Estate Cider Making

    370: Kari Williams of Snow Capped Cider Explores Terroir and Technique with a Generational Approach to Estate Cider Making
    Jul 26 2024
    The Williams family has been farming apples and stone fruit on Colorado’s Western slope for over 100 years, and today their Snow Capped Cider (https://snowcappedcider.com) is one of the winningest American cideries, notching big honors at GLINTCAP, the world’s premier cider competition, while cleaning up again at the annual Cidercraft awards. The secret, says owner, creative force, and cider maker Kari Williams, is the quality of their fruit. Growing apples for cider on their own estate isn’t novel, but doing so at an elevation over 6000’ certainly is, and the extreme growing conditions produce apples with more vivid contours as well as more sugar, which provides Williams a saturated palette to paint with. In this episode, Williams discusses: the multigenerational family approach to farming and now cider making the benefits and challenges of growing apples at high elevation maintaining tight farming control for perfect apples, while benefitting from the luxury of time an apple-driven creative process inspired by flavors in that year’s crop terroir and flavor expression in apples, and the impact of different farming locations extensive trialing with 200 fermentation tests in any given year building a perception of sweetness in dry ciders aging certain apple varieties before juicing balancing acidity, astringency, and sweetness in fine ciders And more.

  • 369: Yvan De Baets of Brasserie de la Senne and Eric Toft of Schönramer Talk Shop on European Hops

    369: Yvan De Baets of Brasserie de la Senne and Eric Toft of Schönramer Talk Shop on European Hops
    Jul 19 2024
    Both Yvan De Baets, cofounder of Brasserie de la Senne (https://www.brasseriedelasenne.be) in Brussels, and Eric Toft, brewmaster at Private Landbrauerei Schönram (https://www.schoenramer.de) in Schönram, Germany, have appeared on the podcast in the past (episodes 162 (https://beerandbrewing.com/podcast-episode-162-yvan-de-baets-of-brasserie-de-la-senne/) and 244 (https://beerandbrewing.com/podcast-episode-244-eric-toft-of-schoenramer-is-fixated-on-consistency/)). However, for this special panel discussion—recorded live at the Senne brewery—we’ve brought them back to discuss a topic that’s increasingly front-of-mind for brewers around the world: the present and future of European hops. Extreme heat and severe weather events have increased in frequency, often affecting the aroma and alpha-acid content of classic European-grown varieties and making it more difficult to source those of highest quality. Yet both De Baets and Toft have developed and deployed strategies not just to evaluate growers and track the progress of the crop each year, but also to understand the benefits and drawbacks of each new crop while hedging against risks. In this episode, they discuss: shifts in European drinking habits declining contracted hops and hedging with overstock from previous harvest years positive and negative traits when evaluating hops still on the bine building deeper relationships directly with growers avoiding the trap of negotiating on hop price evaluating irrigation methods and field structure harvest timing and its increasing impact on certain Noble varieties testing and sensory for new-harvest hops maintaining the cold chain from baling and storage through pelletizing the biggest challenges and the biggest opportunities for European hops in the near term And more!

  • 368: De Dolle’s Kris Herteleer Takes a Natural Approach to High-Gravity Belgian Ales

    368: De Dolle’s Kris Herteleer Takes a Natural Approach to High-Gravity Belgian Ales
    Jul 12 2024
    Beers such as Oerbier, Arabier, and Stille Nacht may not be as familiar to today’s avid beer consumer, but for decades these unusual strong ales have been staples on the menus and cellars of more adventurous beer bars around the world. De Dolle Brouwers (https://www.oerbier.be) got its start in 1980, among the vanguard in a new wave of Belgian brewers who rejected the consolidation and cynical corner-cutting that had come to define the industry there. Cofounder Kris Herteleer was committed to a more natural approach to brewing, using real malt, whole hops, healthy yeast, spring water, and the highly manual mechanical tools of the decades-old brewhouse they purchased in the village of Esen, just outside of Diksmuide, in West Flanders. Oerbier was, and still is, hard to classify. It limns the space between an overtly acid-forward oud bruin and a strong Belgian dark ale, borrowing from both where and when it needs to. Yet this ambiguity fits Herteleer’s approach; De Dolle isn’t concerned at all about adherence to styles. Herteleer would much rather get you asking questions than provide you with easy answers. In this episode, recorded at the brewery as we sipped beers from their cellar more than 20 years old, Herteleer discusses: switching from Rodenbach yeast in 2000, and the five-year process of getting Oerbier back to its intended expression the prevalence of coloring and backsweeting in 1970s and ’80s Belgian ale balancing acidity and sweetness in higher-gravity beer using a coolship, Baudelot cooler, open fermentors, a Lactobacillus reactor, and French wine barrels to produce complex, flavorful beer that’s more than just “sour” using relatively high IBUs to limit Lactobacillus and Pediococcus activity in mixed-culture fermentation avoiding the crutch of spices in Belgian ale barrel-aging in wine barrels rather than spirits barrels, to avoid “dead” barrels And more.
