Dr Pat Mace from USA IPA trailblazer Lagunitas Brewing Company joins the podcast for an informal Q&A session.

Note: The audience members were not mic'd up for questions. Audio for these bits have been boosted, but they are also transcribed below. As the Lagunitas slogan goes, "Beer speaks. People mumble."

Audience Questions

(6:44) "I'd to know how... I mean, I don't really know the history about
this beer, the IPA - your IPA - how long has that been available in
the US for, has the recipe changed over the years?"
(14:44) "You guys are just down the road, do you guys do much collab or...
how well do you guys get along? Do you get along well? Do you share
brews? Are you comrades or competitors? Or a bit of everything?"
(21:19) "If you're thinking of the increased distribution you're getting from
Heineken, and you're at full max in these two breweries, are you
looking at building more, like increasing the size of the breweries
in California and Chicago, or are you looking at maybe building a
third?"
(23:12) "I was just keen to find out the history of the name 'Lagunitas'."
(24:25) "I was going to ask... as a sort of IPA pioneer, what do you think
about New England IPAs? It's the beer of the moment - what's your
take?"
(25:06) "Just the beers in the bar that are going to be available in
Australia or are you distributing more beers?"

sessionablepodcast@gmail.com (Sessionable) — Thu, 8 Mar 2018 23:20:00 +0000

The latest Style Roulette episode talks about Belgian IPAs, a hybrid between classic Belgian golden ales and hop-forward American IPAs.

Clarification: 21C is not actually a style in the official BJCP guidelines, although it does list various different IPA styles unnumbered after 21B (Specialty IPA). The app we were using lined up 21C with the first of these Specialty IPAs, which was Belgian IPA. Apologies for any confusion this may have caused.

sessionablepodcast@gmail.com (Sessionable) — Sat, 2 Jul 2016 02:17:00 +0000

Tom, Brad, and Liam get together to talk GABS and make fun of the absent Adrian [who is editing this episode, you fools!] They also get into a heated argument about beer gimmicks, discuss the importance of beers being in fresher condition than this episode (much fresher, ahem), and explain what BFR means.

sessionablepodcast@gmail.com (Sessionable) — Thu, 28 Apr 2016 03:38:00 +0000

It's Sessionable's 50th episode and its 3rd anniversary so the boys celebrate by drinking beer and talking about beer-related topics because they are very original. They also chat to Wayward's assistant bar manager and Resch's fiend Jason Adair.

Correction: Adrian mentioned Cantillon pulling out of Birra del Borgo's festival. In fact, it was Cantillon that was holding the festival (Quintessence), and they cancelled Birra del Borgo's participation after the takeover announcement.

We're doing a live episode of the podcast on Sunday the 18th of October as part of Sydney Craft Beer Week 2015 so we recorded a thinly-veiled plug of an episode where we discuss things vaguely related to beer. Mostly we just plug stuff. Did I mention we're doing a live episode of the podcast on Sunday the 18th of October as part of Sydney Craft Beer Week? I did? Oh, ok then.

sessionablepodcast@gmail.com (Sessionable) — Thu, 9 Apr 2015 02:15:00 +0000

It seems the last 12 months have flown by, and none more so than for one of Sydney's newest brewers: Shenanigans by Sam Haldane and Dan Beers. We take some time to sit down with one half of the team - Sam - to find out how the Shenanigans journey has been so far whilst he takes us through some of their beers and their background. Along the way we discuss their placement in this year's Taphouse Hottest 100, and their upcoming GABS beer.

As an excuse to get Doc back on the show, we blind taste Doctor's Orders Brewing's Zephyr and Prescription 12 from both growler and his recently released bottles to see if we can tell which is which.

Whilst we're at it we catch up with what's been happening with Doc through 2014, consider the Australian Craft Beer Bubble, try to make predictions for the Hottest 100 on Australia Day, and gain an insight into how Brad thinks we get squid ink.

sessionablepodcast@gmail.com (Sessionable) — Thu, 21 Nov 2013 05:00:00 +0000

Is fresher really better when it comes to beer? In this episode, we do some hard research, in attempt to answer that exact question. We also discuss the recent Sydney Craft Beer Week, Adrian's trip overseas and some excellent beers from Australia and abroad.

It's the blind-tasting game! This episode we all brought some beers, but didn't tell everyone else what they were. Listen to us try and guess the beers. Some were easy, some weren't, and they were all delicious.

In an effort to balance out the Lager episode we did, we thought we'd go to the other end of the spectrum and try some of the most extreme beers we could get our hands on. It was extreme.

05: Lager than Life

sessionablepodcast@gmail.com (Sessionable) — Wed, 18 Sep 2013 20:31:00 +0000

In our most exciting episode yet, we decided to drink nothing but the most interesting of beer styles, Lagers! But seriously, we thought it would be good to drink a bunch of lagers and talk about this incredibly important style, (even if it can be a little bit boring sometimes). We started off with the much awaited VB vs VB taste test, and then moved on to some quality lagers.
