  episode #116 - the elk head brewery
  Tue, 24 Jun 2008 13:35:29 +0000
  I discuss sulfur off flavors in beer and where they come from.[...]I really enjoy the beer scene at DEKS right now (aside from the high prices, something which concerns me, because I'm afraid people are going to get turned off -- a few people have already said as much to me).... There's enough variety for beer-geek respectableness, but not so much that the beer will sit around and go stale.[...]Elk Head Brewing Company, Buckley[...]How do you know you have a sulfur off-flavor in your beer?

  Here's what she suggests for flies:There are many effective striper flies, and after a few years of fishing the flats you narrow it down to your go-to flies.... It?s how you work it, but with that said, top Long Island flats flies include big bunker patterns, used in the early part of the season.

  episode #115 - the home pub revolution
  Tue, 10 Jun 2008 13:31:56 +0000
  As always, time will tell, but I might be able to help raise consciousness about our responsibility to look after our local economies by making wise choices and not just choosing whatever is cheapest.One of the proposed books in my beer culture series is called Cottage Industry; it would be an account of my experiences brewing and drinking my own beer at home.... Money spent in your town at local business stays in your community at an almost two to one rate over the same money spent at non-local chain stores.That's what Rasan and I were talking about a month ago. Rasan believes that people are starting to wise up about corporations and they are beginning to realize that deregulation is destroying local culture.

  episode #114 - drink local
  Tue, 29 Apr 2008 13:39:43 +0000
  It's even organic, so they are making the moral choice there and organic beer is probably going to be the new craft beer as the microbreweries become national macros and it's going to get hard to tell what craft beer really is anymore, the organic label might help provide a quality designation that just not being Anheuser-Busch did ten years ago.[...]Here's a simple rule that I would like to embrace for myself and if it resonates with you then give it a try: Drink only locally brewed beer.... Since traveling is expensive, the next best thing is to do your own liquid tour of Belgian by heading down to the beer store or the pub and picking out some exotic bottles.[...]It's not just an aesthetic choice; it's an economic choice, but one that places the good of the community over what is expedient for the individual.

  And on May 3rd, the Atlantis Beer Festival.If you have an event you would like to add to the calendar, just send me an email: donavan at radiobeerhall dot com.I was delving into the blog-o-sphere to catch the buzz on the Southampton/Pabst thing when I ran across a term that has bugged me ever since.... The goal is to brew a batch of Wit (approximately) once a week (Friday night?), take copious notes, and record my experiences and observations in a book (and on this blog/podcast).That's all for this edition Radio Beer Hall.Next time...
