escarpment

Long, upward slopes called escarpments offer a good chance of seeing some of the many raptor species found in Belize. Shaped like a compact Red-tailed Hawk, White Hawks are white overall with black markings and scan the landscape for reptile prey. Bat Falcons have a darkly barred chest and cinnamon belly, and chase down swifts, dragonflies, and the bats that give them their name. Ornate Hawk-Eagles stand over two feet tall and are capable of catching monkeys.

THE YEAST EPISODE! Richard Preiss - cofounder of ESCARPMENT LABS, located in Guelph, Ontario 🇨🇦 - joined me on Brewers Banter to chat about yeast strains & new releases (including their new Thiol Libre), fermentation control, using Bretts & Lacto, the madness & violence of Kveik, starter vs straight pitch, under pitching & over pitching, off flavours, traditional lager yeast vs Krispy Kveik, biotransformation, repitching, life span, storage, best before dates and more. I also asked the “tough” questions about performance enhancing substances that just gotta be used in production (😉) and the stellar beers produced by Escarpment Labs yeast.
