This week's show is a rapid fire around with questions from listeners. This week we're giving back to the rogue foundation, which has donated millions of dollars to charity since its inception. We will make a donation to them, thanks to sponsors of the show, which you may hear about now. And Gregg wants to know any secret yeasts that might make for better fermenting beers.
Nothin' like crackin' open a cold one with the Ologites, amirite? If you like booze, you'll love... fungus! Alie goes Rogue and takes a field trip to a brewery in Newport, OR where she smells vats of bubbling beer slop and learns about the microorganisms that are the workhorses of the brewing industry. Learn about yeasts, how beer is made, the hardest part about being a beer maker, the thick history of beer, some home brewing tips and also a nugget about bungholes. Let's get yeasty.
Special thanks to Shannon Feltus and Boni Dutch for the hook-up and the road trip to the coast.
