Drink Beer, Think Beer With John Holl

The Beer Hour with Johnathan Wakefield

OwlTail

Much of the professional brewing world is focused on Minnesota this week as the annual Craft Brewers Conference is happening, along with the World  Beer Cup competition. I thought it would be a good to check in with a brewer in the state – or at least one connected with the state. Minnesota beer laws are wonky which has led to creative solutions. Austin Jevne the Owner &amp; Head Brewer of Humble Forager, which is contract brewed in Wisconsin as well as Minneapolis, will explain how the brand developed out of an existing brewpub in Rochester, Minnesota.  From finding local ingredients on his travels that inspire new beers, to scaling up from small batches to large ones while not sacrificing flavor or ethos, Austin takes us through his creative process on brewing that now extends to hard seltzer.  He’s also big on collaborations and gives us a curtain raiser on one that is being brewed this week with Other Half Brewery.  Austin sees beer as an adventure and wants every recipe to reflect that sense.And if you’re still brewing small and curious about finding your own local ingredients he has tips for that as well.  This Episode is sponsored by:Cigar City Brewing Co.Jai Alai IPA is a bold, citrusy and balanced India Pale Ale that involves six different hop varietals used generously in a 7.5% ABV beer. Look for notes of orange peel, clementine, and light caramel to share the story and sunshine of Florida with beer lovers across the globe.

Ep. 135 - Austin Jevne of Humble Forager Brewing

In Rochester, Minnesota, the Forager brewpub that Austin Jevne founded with life and business partner Annie Henderson continues with its mission to provide compelling beer and food to the community. However, Jevne’s Humble Forager brand has set a more far-reaching goal to bring their authentic, grounded approach to flavorful beer to a wider national market.   While Forager brews on a seven-barrel system for local fans, Humble Forager works produces 100-barrel batches at partners such as Octopi in Madison, Wisconsin, or Fair State Collective in Minneapolis. A through-line that spans all their production is a focus on real ingredients and real fruit, used in thoughtful and expressive ways, no matter what the style. Whether it’s fruit beer, hard seltzer, or stout, the approach is the same: no extracts, high-quality ingredients, and a progressive approach to technique to drive the best possible expression from the chosen ingredients.   In this episode of the podcast, Jevne discusses their approach to recipes and process, including:    creating real fruit hard seltzers that are shelf stable for up to 18 months using a three-stage pasteurization process to temper and stabilize fruit in quick-sours and hard seltzer layering fruit flavor with other herbal and tea notes to create flavors that evolve through the sip searching for the best quality fruits from a variety of sources finding the best sources for flavorful vanilla working with high-pectin fruits accounting for expression of acidity in both fruited hard seltzers and tart beers building a library of stout recipes and barrel types to create options when blending employing an ingredient-by-ingredient method of concentrated infusion to carefully add flavor to stouts deploying blended methods of coffee infusion using both whole bean and ground coffee for different flavor contributions  And more.   “A lot of people are assuming that fruited sours have a shelf life similar to hazy IPAs,” Jevne says. “And absolutely they do, from certain breweries. But if you have a process that changes that—we have a shelf life of 18 months with flavor stability in our fruited sours, and people look at our shelf life on the bottom of the cans and get a little worried sometimes. But we’ve done multiple tests about the longevity of where that flavor’s stable, and because of that [multi-step pasteurization] process, our beers are great and can sit in the back of your trunk on a hot Texas summer day, and they’re not going to explode.”   This episode is brought to you by: G&amp;D Chillers (https://gdchillers.com): What if you could chill your beer with a more efficient chiller? The Answer? G&amp;D Chillers new Micro Channel Condensers!
