Beer journalist, author, and homebrewer Stan Hieronymus joined us this week.

If you have an interest in hops, this is the show for you. Stan talks about the modern evolution of hops, whether there is really a hop shortage, and the effects of altitude on hop isomerization. Plus, we learn about why you shouldn’t use the term “noble hops.” It’s great information for homebrewers and pros alike.

Plus, we talk about the 2nd annual Columbus Craft Beer Bash, how to win a membership in the SweetWater Woodlands Circle. And, we completely suck up to an upper midwestern state (South Dakota) for a very good reason.

Truck and Tap’s Beers of the Week:
