Episode 10 - Hops and Cocktails

Episode 10 of Tap the Craft is devoted to answering all the listener submitted questions since the last episode.  We discuss the use of hops in beers such as wet/fresh hopped beers as well as the techniques of hop bursting and dry hopping a beer.  We uncover a beer cleansing technique and discuss the digestive benefits of beer.  Discover a plethora of beer cocktails to try at home in our Brew Buzz segment.  Prepare for our listener participation tasting notes segment in episode 11 by picking up a bottle or six of New Belgium’s Fat Tire Amber Ale.
