In this episode of Tap the Craft Podcast, Denny and Kris take a deep dive into the aromatic compounds that have transformed hop-forward beers over the last decade. You'll learn what terpenes are, where they come from, and why they're responsible for many of the flavors and aromas craft beer lovers crave. We also have two beer tastings, one from Pontoon Brewing with The Smiggles Show Smoothie Sour and a second from Martin House Brewing with the Death by Chocolate Cake imperial pastry stout. Now grab a beer and enjoy the show!

Pull up a seat at the communal table as we explore one of the world's most enduring beer traditions—the Biergarten. In this episode, we dive into the history of Bavaria's famous beer gardens, from their origins above underground lagering cellars to the lively outdoor gathering spaces that continue to shape beer culture today.

You'll learn what defines a true biergarten, discover the stories behind some of Germany's most famous beer gardens, including the world's largest, and find out why chestnut trees, communal tables, and easy-drinking lagers became the foundation of a tradition that has lasted more than 200 years. Whether you're enjoying a pint at your local brewery patio or dreaming of a trip to Munich, this episode is a celebration of great beer, great company, and the communities built around them. We also have two beer tastings, one from Pontoon Brewing with The Real Slim Smiggles and a second from H.H. Hinder the Guava Voom. Now grab a beer and enjoy the show!
