Episode 17 - Water Never Tasted So Good

Water, water, water...believe it or not, water plays a very important part in the brewing process. In Episode 17 of Tap the Craft John and Denny talk about the science of water in brewing and how the minerals found in the water can contribute to the flavor and overall experience of a beer.  We answer a few listener questions and talk about a news article announcing the 2014 craft beer statistics and breaking the double digit market share milestone.  Our listener participation tasting notes segment for this episode is with the Lagunitas Brewing Pils...so go grab yourself a bottle or six and drink along with us.
