Coming Up from Beer Guys Radio

This week we talk with Crooked Stave‘s Chad Yakobson and Troy Montrone. Yakobson changed what craft brewers know (and do) with Brettanomyces by posting his masters online at The Brettanomyces Project. Since then, Crooked Stave has continued to work with Brett and other yeasts and bacteria to produce some amazing beers.

Next week, we’re talking with DuClaw Brewing‘s Head Brewer, Brandon Stanko.
