At its most basic, beer is made using four key ingredients: malted grain, water, yeast, and hops. In this episode, Dan travels to Angry Erik Brewing where he is joined by Matt Storch of Bentley B. Hops to learn all about hops, what they are, where they come from and what they’re doing in beer.
Very special thanks to Matt for joining me on this podcast, and to Heide, Erik, Will and everyone at Angry Erik for letting us record the podcast there.
