Episode 152 – American Hefe
Posted By John on August 7th, 2009
Up to this point our panel has only identified two American made hefeweizens that deserve the name. Both come from Nebraska and while we are sure there are more, they appear to be scarce. So our friend Brian M. brought with him Sierra Nevada‘s Hefewezien claiming it passed. We also enjoyed a Mocha Porter from Rogue Brewing Company out of Oregon.

Blog Transfer
Posted By John on April 26th, 2009
We are currently in the process of migrating the blog to a wordpress format. Unfortunately this could take a couple days. On the upside all the beer info, podcasts, and articles are still available at brewcast.libsyn.com
When we complete the transfer we will post a note on both pages. Thank you for your patience and continued support.
