Welcome back to The DC Beer Show! Our lively hosts Michael Stein, Brandy Holder, and Jacob Berg are joined by special guests Josh and Jenna Chapman of Upweller for a flavorful and fascinating episode.
Kicking things off, Michael sips on Plank beer Dunkle Weitzenbach, Brandy delights in a medley of 838 Irish stout, Proper IPA, and service Hellas Lager from Wheatland Spring, while Jacob explores Bright Side, an American style lager that might make it to Snally!
In this episode, we dive deep into the world of Upweller and their innovative approach to brewing. Josh Chapman shares his heartfelt connection to his brews, likening them to children, while revealing exciting details about their latest creation, "How Bout It," an American lager brewed with a unique heirloom corn from Maryland. The hosts engage with Josh on the surreal experience of brewing in new locations, reflecting on the challenges and adjustments made due to differences in water quality.
We're also hyped about the Snallygaster Festival! Our hosts are prepping a revamped DC Beer Show podcast stage, and Michael Stein can't wait to taste special beer offerings at the fest. Josh and Jenna are equally thrilled, looking forward to showcasing their sustainable brews, with ingredients like oyster liquor and foraged yellow wood sorrel.
Buckle up for a pre-Snally roadshow with Upweller, set to launch at Right Proper Shaw on October 6th. With four freshly brewed beers, a cheese program, oyster shucking, and Eastern Shore decor, it's a must-attend event for beer lovers. Josh and Jenna's collaboration with The Nature Conservancy adds a layer of eco-consciousness to their work, as they experiment with ingredients like longleaf pine needles and longleaf pine forests for their October Forest Fest.
Before wrapping up, the hosts and guests reminisce about communal experiences at places like Evening Star in Alexandria, underscoring the community spirit in beer brewing. A heartfelt thank you goes out to our listeners for their support and enthusiasm, as we encourage everyone to follow @DCBeer and visit dcbeer.com for the latest updates and events.
So grab your favorite brew, sit back, and tune in for a brew-tiful episode of The DC Beer Show – cheers!
