Kentucky Common may be a lesser known beer style, but it has seen an increase in interest in recent years, thanks at least in part to it now being included in the BJCP Style Guidelines.  How do new styles get added to the guidelines?  And what is the effect?For those who love Kentucky Common, they know that it has a wonderful sweetness from malt and corn.  It is similar to cream ale, but features darker color.  Like many beer styles, Kentucky Common evolved because of the ingredients that were available to area brewers and the climate in which they brewed.  Kentucky Common is a delicious, thirst-quenching trip in a time machine.This Episode is Sponsored by:Sierra Nevada Brewing Co.Sierra Nevada Brewing Company, where trailblazing runs in the family.

There's nothing like a good beer in summer, surrounded by friends, BBQ lit up with burgers sizzling and the baseball game on the radio. Some breweries around the U.S. look to exemplify summer in a single beer style like golden lager or pale ale. But what really makes these beers fit for summer? Aren't all beers good when the weather turns warmer? What are customers looking for in a summer beer and how are breweries delivering on this? On this episode of the All About Beer podcast, we talk to Washington based Chuckanut Brewery and Brooklyn based Threes Brewing about their summer seasonals and what they hope to achieve by brewing these summer styles.

There is perhaps no crop that illustrates the success of agricultural science like corn.  It has been bred to grow well, with strong stalks and robust disease resistance.  And scientists have engineered multiple uses for it, making it a very agronomically successful plant.But that success has resulted in an almost monoculture of modern corn in North America.  Historically, corn was a diverse crop, with many varieties grown throughout the land.  Some brewers are helping to revive these heritage corn varieties and embracing the unique characteristics that they bring.  This produces a unique product, is friendly to the land and harkens back to a simpler time.  In a way, beer made with heritage corn is time travel in your glass.This Episode is Sponsored by:Sierra Nevada Brewing Co.Sierra Nevada Brewing Company, where trailblazing runs in the family.

THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) is a cannabinoid, and the primary psychoactive compound in cannabis that creates the high associated with marijuana use. Since cannabis has become legal in many states, people are using it in new ways, especially in the drinks space. But what’s the right way to do that? How do breweries, drinkers and mixologists deal with the legal ramifications, the oversight, and the actual flavors and aromas of THC? On this episode of the All About Beer podcast, we talk with Warren Bobrow, a mixologist and author, who pushes the envelope in terms of what cannabis can do in drinks. Then Samantha Lee of Hopewell Brewing in Chicago talks about making a brand extension - Choom - into THC seltzers and their experience into a world beyond beer.This Episode is Sponsored by:RahrBSGNeed ingredients and supplies that deliver consistent, high-quality beer?
