About this episode

The IPA gang reunites with special guests for a live episode discussing various brewing topics.

The IPA gang is back together with some special guests for this star-studded episode recorded in front of a live audience of brewers at Union Transfer in Philadelphia. Vinnie Cilurzo of Russian River , Kelsey McNair of North Park , and Evan Price of Green Cheek are joined by Ben Edmunds of Breakside and Oregon State University’s Tom Shellhammer —this year’s recipient of the Brewers Association Recognition Award—for a ranging conversation. Among the topics they cover: managing sulfur in hop-forward beer, evolving dry-hopping techniques, thiols and mercaptans, and reducing the dry-hop load for better beer—plus, they take questions from the audience. This episode even features a first for the podcast—a Pick 6 speed round, in which Vinnie Cilurzo asks Tom Shellhammer to share six beers that inspired him.
