American IPAs have been brewed up and down the West Coast for over 45 years. In that time, they changed a lot. One of the most important moments for the style's evolution came in 1999, when Russian River released an early example of a double IPA. Pliny the Elder used techniques we now consider completely standard, but which were uncommon and even controversial then. In today's episode of One Iconic Beer, we hear from the beer's creator, Russian River co-founder Vinnie Cilurzo, and another West Coast legend, former Stone brewmaster and author of the book IPA, Mitch Steele. They tell the story of Pliny the Elder and the development of IPAs in the United States.

What if the secret to a better batch of beer started before fermentation ever began? By understanding the way water chemistry impacts the sensory quality of finished beer, and by analyzing fermentation and other data, brewers can control sensory aspects of their product like never before. Sennos put together a free eBook that breaks down water chemistry fundamentals every brewer should know — no fluff, just the fundamentals. Download Water Chemistry for Brewers at sennos.com

Berkeley Yeast
Our Tropics yeast is based on a London Ale strain, but we added a new gene to its genome that codes for a unique thiol-releasing enzyme. The enzyme converts the precursors in barley to free thiols that smell and taste like passionfruit and grapefruit. It’s super clean. No off-flavors like burnt rubber or other sulfurous notes. Just tropical aromatics. You don’t have to do anything unusual either, like mash hopping. Just pitch dry Tropics and supercharge your hazy IPA.

It’s the most wonderful time of the year: Oktoberfest season! What started with a Bavarian royal wedding and horse race has turned into one of the biggest parties on the planet with tents, games, rides and most importantly, beer. But what are the differences between the way Germans brew the beer for Oktoberfest and how other countries do it? What about differences in parties, culture, food, and music?

This month on the All About Beer podcast, we talk to a brewer at the classic Munich, Germany based Hofbrau about their brewing practices for their very popular festbier and Chicagoland adjacent brewery Goldfinger about how they keep Bavarian tradition alive as well as create their own spin on the classic beers of this celebrated season. Prost!
