HHH REPLAY: All About Breakfast Stout & a Replay of Our Interview w/ Jeremy Kosmicki from Founders Brewing
Homebrew Happy Hour
Ok. So, this week isn't an official episode because I'm trying something different. We're replaying one of our popular interviews from 4'ish years ago with the head brewer over at Founders Brewing, Mr. Jeremy Kosmicki. WOW, time flies! One of the main reasons I'm doing a replay this week is because I've had breakfast stout on my brain lately. We're offering it to recipe receiving tiers of our Patreon.com/HomebrewHappyHour Trub Club members, my Pop and I are brewing it for our YouTube.com/HomebrewHappyHour #BrewDay LIVE next week (Friday, September 26th @ 10am central), and the weather is...

Mastering the BJCP Tasting Exam: An Interview with Doug Walker from Rusty Nut Brew & Que
Homebrew Happy Hour
Picture this - I'm at HQ... haven't been up in a few weeks... and there's a package on Todd's office desk. He goes, "oh yeah, this has been here for you for like 10 days" and I go, "ok, why didn't you tell me?" and he goes "what good would it have done since you don't work up here 99% of the time?" and we just blankly stared at each other. In that package was an incredible note of appreciation, a couple of delicious cigars, and a copy of what is likely to be the best prep tool an aspiring BJCP tasting judge can own - all from my buddy Doug Walker. I am so excited to introduce y'all to Doug...
