Brewing Traditional Continental European Styles with Hagen Dost from Dovetail Brewery
Homebrew Happy Hour
Welcome back, my friend. Let me tell you - Todd and I had a FANTASTIC trip out to Chicago. I've never actually been, outside of a layover here and there, so it was great getting to visit a wonderful craft beer city. Specifically, we got to hang out a lot with the crew at Dovetail Brewery. They are not only making incredible beer in the heart of Chicago, they're also true to style in every regard - from using the right ingredients, old world brewing methods, the proper glassware, and especially those beautiful CMBecker faucets. We had a great chat with one of their brewer-owners, Hagen Dost,...
info_outlineHowdy, friends! It's that time of the year again where my Pop and I get ready to brew our annual batch of Imperial Coffee Stout, which is a homage to the legendary Breakfast Stout made famous by @FoundersBrewingCo .
Before our #brewday though, I wanted to chat with an expert on some coffee basics which helped lead me to choosing this year's bean/roast for our 2024 batch.
It was such a blast chatting with my buddy Kevin Carswell ( @MochasandJavas ) and learning some overview information on coffee in general.
If you're ever in my town, San Marcos, TX, I highly encourage you to go check out of of Mochas and Javas many locations. There's a good chance you're going to run into me there as well!
