282: Shawn Bainbridge and Joran Van Ginderachter of Halfway Crooks Balance Expression and Control in Lager and Belgian Pale Ale
Craft Beer & Brewing Magazine Podcast
12/23/22 • 83 min
Halfway Crooks cofounders Joran Van Ginderachter and Shawn Bainbridge may love the wide world of craft beer, but with their Atlanta, Georgia brewery the goal was to create a space and beers that would let drinkers find a beer they like, and drink the same beer all night. If you arrive with the goal of maximizing check-ins to the widest number of beers, you’ll quickly find you’re in the wrong place.
The same design principles inform the space and the beer itself—equal parts recontextualized nostalgia, funky creativity, wry humor, and dry deadpan delivery. The bathrooms feature illustrations of chickens from the late 1800’s, floral patterned wallpaper, and a separate soundtrack from the main taproom (Bladerunner and Twin Peaks soundtracks). A video screen at the door plays low-fi digital animations. They embrace our digital present with a bit of warm vacuum tube analog glow. And the same can be said of the beers—they’re fresh and current, but with tweaks of nostalgia and fuzz.
The brewery may be best known for their lagers, which center around separate hop varieties.
“You go to a taproom sometimes and see seven different IPAs,” said Bainbridge. “You come to this taproom and you see seven German pilsners.”
They source hops from some of the most sought-after farms in Germany, and build beers around them, yet there’s also an American mentality—boosting aroma through later additions and whirlpooling, using modern enzymes to ensure fermentation proceeds on schedule. They use a brewhouse not optimized for lagers, but have figured out how to get the most from it. There’s no decoction and just single infusion mashes, but the beers are tight and structured.
In this episode, Bainbridge and Van Ginderachter talk extensively about their approach to lager brewing, as well as the creative and technical process behind their Belgian pale ale Sanguine—a Craft Beer & Brewing beer of the year in 2022, which they say is the one beer in their lineup they’re least happy with.

260: Zach Turner of Single Hill is the Fresh Prince of Yakima
Craft Beer & Brewing Magazine Podcast
09/17/22 • 79 min
Perhaps no brewery in the world is as dedicated to fresh-hopped beers as Single Hill in Yakima, Washington. Led by cofounder and head brewer Zach Turner, the Single Hill team leans into vibrantly hopped IPAs all year long—and their Mind Plant double IPA was first runner-up at last year’s Alpha King Challenge—but harvest time is when their strengths and expertise really get to shine. That’s when Turner shifts focus to fresh-hopped beers, driving to farms around the Yakima Valley to see which varieties are freshly picked, rushing the wet cones back to the brewery to pour into the mash tun-turned-hopback, and gathering freshly kilned (but not yet baled) whole-cone hops that they pelletize themselves for the whirlpool and dry hop. The running event throughout the season is the Fresh Hop Rodeo, when Single Hill collaborates with brewers across the country on a series of fresh-hopped beers that compete for the love of local customers.
Single Hill’s singular fresh-hop focus is succeeding: Their Energy Cone IPA was the gold medal–winning fresh-hop beer at last year’s Great American Beer Festival, and their fame and respect for these beers is growing beyond the region.
In this episode, Turner opens the book on his process and approach to fresh-hopped beers, including:
- flexibility and serendipity in pick windows and varieties
- pelletizing their own hops at the brewery
- utilizing lower temperatures for wet-hop contact, to limit vegetal flavors
- fermenting fresh-hop IPAs with a variety of yeasts
- brewing both hazy and West Coast fresh-hop iterations
- their experimenter system that splits a 15-barrel brew into three different fermentations
- new and exciting hop varieties on the horizon
And more.

285: Little Fish Brew Mixed Culture Beers With Subtlety and Grace
Craft Beer & Brewing Magazine Podcast
01/07/23 • 79 min
Sean White, cofounder of Athens, Ohio’s Little Fish, is committed to mixed culture sour beer. It’s not the only thing that they brew, but it’s part of the soul of the brewery and a founding pillar that they’ve continued to develop (and improve) over the past eight years. Over those years, they’ve been recognized a number of times for the beers from this program—gold and bronze World Beer Cup medals in 2016 and 2018, silver and gold GABF medals in 2020 and 2022—but if you ask White, he’ll tell you that they’re still figuring it out. They haven’t settled, and they’re still learning.
In this episode, White discusses how they brew these compelling beers, from timing ingredient additions to parameters around their spontaneous beer program. Along the way, he discusses:
- maintaining multiple cultures via solera and brink
- minimizing beer waste to promote sustainability by reducing failure
- balancing acidity in award-winning beers
- neutralizing aged hops to manage funky flavor components
- sourcing and processing local fruit
- fruiting in the barrel
- bottle conditioning with an acid shock starter to reduce yeast stress
- topping up barrels to prevent the development of off flavors
- not drinking beer for the past eight months, while still brewing it

295: Barn Town Enjoys Making Hazy IPA and Tart Fruit Beers That People Enjoy
Craft Beer & Brewing Magazine Podcast
03/20/23 • 60 min
Barn Town popped up on our radar in 2022, with a number of beers across styles that scored well with our blind panel of judges, but the best of the bunch was Neon hazy IPA with an impressive score of 98. In our upcoming IPA issue, they did it again with another 98 for hazy double IPA Stink, Stank, Stunk, so naturally we felt the need to ask some questions and understand how they’re making consistently impressive beers.
In this episode, founder Pete Faber, head brewer Grant Brower, and brewer Cody Guyer cover a list of topics, including:
- updating beer recipes over the past half decade to adapt to changing customer tastes
- building stability in hazy IPA with malted oats, wheat, and Pilsner malt
- why Citra is “the bacon”—good with everything
- chilling the whirlpool and optimizing for survivable
- dry hopping after crashing to minimize less desirable flavors
- consistency and variability in hop varieties from lot to lot
- brewing fruited sour beers without gluten-containing grains
- the impacts of thickness and gravity on batch pasteurizing
And more.

99: Alarmist Brewing’s Gary Gulley: Brewing for Gold With Hazy and Juicy IPAs
Craft Beer & Brewing Magazine Podcast
09/06/19 • 63 min
Ask ten brewers about the secret to brewing a great hazy IPA, and you’ll likely get ten different answers. For Gary Gulley and Alarmist Brewing, the answer is “threading the needle”—riding that delicate line between hops intensity, bitterness, sweetness that brings out the hops character, and dryness for drinkability. Achieving that elusive balance is no small feat, and in this episode Gulley discusses just how they do it. From yeast selection and treatment to dry hopping timing and techniques, employing lactose with a soft touch, and more, it’s a deep dive into the things that made Le Jus number one on the tastebud’s of last year’s GABF judges. Winning the medal has changed everything for Alarmist, and this episode delves into why.

87: Modist Brewing’s Keigan Knee: Brewing Otherwise Impossible Beers Using a Mash Filter
Craft Beer & Brewing Magazine Podcast
06/14/19 • 54 min
Mash filters are common in commercial brewing—most large-scale commercial breweries use them—but they’re far, far less common in craft brewing. While most breweries use them to maximize efficiency, Modist Brewing (Minneapolis, Minnesota) cofounder and head brewer Keigan Knee has pushed in a different direction, using them to produce IPAs with no barley (only wheat and oats) or pushing the percentage limits on alternate grains like spelt. The result is unique-tasting beers that surprise and delight. In this episode, Knee discusses the mash filter process and unique design considerations, the finer points of malt in designing hoppy beers, layering cryo and T-90 hops of the same variety on top of each other for heightened effect, locking in flavors using cryo hops on the hot side, designing fruited beers to finish at the same gravities as that fruit, and wood prep processes for foeder-aged lagers.

154: Jake Gardner of Westbound & Down Breaks Down Complex Brewing Challenges
Craft Beer & Brewing Magazine Podcast
09/29/20 • 82 min
For Jake Gardner, Head Brewer of Westbound & Down (Idaho Springs, Colorado), brewing means defining goals for a beer and mapping out the way to achieve those goals, naming the challenges and articulating solutions at each step of the process. Proceeding in a thoroughly planned and detailed manner brings clarity to the process, and the methodical approach has served Gardner well over his past decade in professional brewing.
After chasing a medal in the hotly contested Imperial IPA category at GABF and World Beer Cup, Gardner’s patience and approach was rewarded in 2019 with a silver medal. But the Westbound & Down approach is anything but conventional—with English yeast strains and specific bittering hops that scrub off the palate quickly, the brewery has carved out a soft and fruity yet bright and tightly controlled niche in the broader world of West Coast IPA. They continue to expand that niche with creative explorations of contemporary hops, yeast experimentation, and focusing on the minutiae of brewing that make a big impact on the finished beer.
In the barleywine category, Gardner has called upon his background in brewing English-style ales at Hogshead in Denver, and discusses the various design concerns for these barrel-aged beers designed to age. From managing free amino nitrogen to double mashing and dialing back oxidative malts, Gardner discusses the ways they’ve built their medal-winning Louie barleywine to taste great not only when fresh, but also with a few years under its belt as it ages and oxidizes gracefully.

205: Jeremy Grinkey of The Bruery Puts His Faith in the Blend
Craft Beer & Brewing Magazine Podcast
09/17/21 • 65 min
Jeremy Grinkey worked in wine for the better part of a decade before joining The Bruery in Orange County, California. That winemaking background still informs the way the director of brewing operations and the Bruery itself make beer. From their club-focused sales approach—with special access for their best customers—to the focus on blending and the use of wine grapes as an ingredient, the influence is palpable.
In this episode, Grinkey discusses:
- Their process of developing new beers and growing them as they move through the various “tiers,” from special events through smaller and then larger clubs
- Putting faith in barrels and the aging process
- Developing a sensory-based understanding of how barrel-aged beer will evolve with time
- The freedom to let things go and to make beers what they can and should be
- The difficulty in forecasting brewing for barrel-aged stock years before a beer’s release
- Leaving space and place for sweetness in beer design
- The technical process behind wine-beer hybrids
- Using fermentation aids as well as heat to your advantage
- Bottle-conditioning to amplify funk
- The changing tastes for high-gravity beers
And more.
