Brian Martin, Head Brewer of Tradition Brewing in Newport News, VA joins us this week to discuss a very special local craft beer release that supports a cause very near to his heart. ‘Beer With a Vision’ is a Hazy IPA brewed with Citra and Eldorado Hops and is releasing on 7/30/21. With the purchase of this beer, 100% of the proceeds will be donated to the Massachusetts Association for the Blind and Visually Impaired. Brian has experienced impaired vision of his own when suffering two different retina detachments, one in each eye. Though he was able to recover from these incidents, there are many who have been less fortunate, so he has made it his mission to raise $10,000 in partnership with Team With a Vision, a team of runners and supporters who raise money for the visually impaired by participating in the Boston Marathon. We talk about Brian’s road to becoming Head Brewer at Tradition Brewing Company beginning with his initial love for craft beer which began while stationed in Germany and then discuss a few of the out-of-the-ordinary beers he brews, cans, designs, and taps all on-premise. You may be surprised by some of his creations! Check out this episode to learn how you can support an amazing cause by drinking delicious beer.

Jeff Bloem is the Founder of, and Maltster at Murphy & Rude Malting in Charlottesville, VA. We had the pleasure of sitting down with him, plus Bonnie from Wheatland Spring Farm + Brewery, to talk about why malt matters in craft beer. Not only in the sense of the flavor and character it creates in your beer, but also the impact using local malts has on the local economy and supply chain. Jeff is an incredibly smart guy who transitioned away from a successful career in Corporate Development, using his knowledge of supply chain management to identify a huge opportunity in the mid-atlantic region of the United States. Though the craft beer scene was on the rise, the number of local ingredient suppliers was scarce, and such was the inception of Murphy & Rude Malting. Check out the episode to learn why malt matters in craft beer, how Murphy & Rude steeps and roasts their malt, what happens when mistakes are made, where the demand for new styles of malt comes from, and how important local collaboration is to their business.

As much as you may know about craft beer, how much do you actually know about the primary ingredients that make it up? And specifically, how much do you know about arguably the single most important ingredient - yeast? Jasper and Ben from Jasper Yeast in Dulles, VA joined us to answer the question “What is yeast?” - enhancing our understanding of how this complex organism (not a bacteria, as we learned) operates, reproduces and changes over time. They also talked to us about how it’s possible to take a snapshot of a particular strain of yeast to be preserved for brewers who brew seasonal beers and need the same strain each time, and how there are a range of different measurements and observations that go into the decision of what type of yeast will be used in certain beers. This is truly fascinating stuff to learn about!

Andy Rathman has been the Brewmaster at The St. George Brewing Company, the second oldest microbrewery in VA, since 1999. In the early days of his brewing career, he held multiple apprenticeships in Germany, traveling from brewery to brewery with his dog and his van, before attending the Master Brewers program at UC Davis and becoming a Master Brewer in England. In this episode, we chatted with Andy about his extensive pedigree, how he selects the ingredients that are used in his beer, and how he prefers not to deviate from the four main ingredients of hops, malt, yeast, and water. We also discussed what makes an English Ale different from a German Ale, and how the terroir of specific regions influences the final flavor profile of the beer.
