Mead maker and owner of Rabbit's Foot Meadery in Sunnyvale Califronia, Mike Faul, teaches us about brewing braggots, a hybrid of beer and mead. We do a live remote from the meadery and have a great time learning about braggot, mead and cyser. This show is a great follow up to our first mead show with Mike back in 2006.
Homebrewer Nathan Smith joins us on The Session to talk about brewing Double IPA's. We say F you to the hop shortage and celebrate this intense beer style with a full tutorial on how to get the most out of your hops, malt and water to brew a mean double IPA. Also check the website thebrewingnetwork.com for a full .pdf outline of the discussion.

The BN has been on-air for three years now and as we like party, we threw a listener bash at Downtown Joe's in Napa. Listeners brought it strong, Beer Jeopardy ensued, and we had a great time with a few guests, like Colin Kaminski, Shaun O'Sullivan and Chris Graham....oh and Bub.
Award winning homebrewer Mike Mraz joins us on The Session to talk about some experiments he's done with bottle conditioning beer with different yeasts, including wine yeasts, and brewing 100 percent bret beers with all four different kinds of bret. We go through tasting every step of his process and cover great brewing techniques using non-traditional brewing yeasts. We also do a taste off of a couple NHC 2008 bound brews.
Aran Madden of Furthermore in Spring Green Wisonsin joins us on The Session to talk about Partner Brewing and the wonderful beer of Furthermore. The whole cast of theBN, without exception, is blown away by these beers! Wonderful, flavorful and brewed with unique ingredients, the beers of Furthermore stand up to the test and Aran teaches us about brewing beer with cider, pepper and tips about adding candy sugar. Also, Shaun O'Sullivan is back in action with the Brewcasters this week, and so is crazy bitch. You don't want to miss it!
The drunken aftermath of an otherwise great show. Do not download this episode. Do not listen to this segment. Turn away now. Nothing to hear here. Go away. Do something worthwile and constuctive with your time. Very offensive and vulgar. Classy people need not apply.

Brewmaster Brian "Spike" Buckowski from Terrapin Brewery in Georgia joins us in the studio to talk about their unique history and beers, including a homebrew recipe for their award winning rye pale ale and their fantastic Wake and Bake Stout that you need to know about if you want to brew a coffee stout. Plus we also get a surprise performance from bluesman Big Joe Hurt who rocks some great blues/soul for us.
