The Brewing Network Presents | Dr. Homebrew

Browsing the shelves at our local big box beer stores, we realized there are so many winter beers on the market today, and many of them sort of go against what we consider to be true "Winter Warmers". So on today's show, we bring you several examples of beers (and two ciders) that will fit right in with the cold weather this year, while still providing you with a new drinking experience.

Homebrew competitions are thriving, and there's no competition quite like the World Cup of Beer here in the Bay Area! On today's show, Steve from the Bay Area Mashers homebrew club, joins us to talk about the upcoming comp, what we can expect from it as far as prizes goes, and more. Plus, we dive into perhaps the most seen Christmas beers on the shelves! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices [https://megaphone.fm/adchoices]

The holidays are among us, and so are the darker, sturdier beers.

Browsing the beer shelves at the grocery store can sometimes yield amazing stuff. On our last trip to the store, we found two beers that seemed equally interesting, for different reasons. The first is a non-alcoholic version of 805 from Firestone-Walker called ... 8Zero5. The other is a holiday beer from Clausthaler. Learn more about your ad choices.

It's wet hop season, and that means more than a few brewers are going to be packing their beers with tiny little flavor bombs of hoppy goodness this Fall. On today's show, we taste two local Fresh Hop beers to find the differences in flavor between the two, and we discuss what wet hopped beers are supposed to taste like, and how you can best make one at home.
