#52: Lagers, Lore, and Legends
Graining In is fresh off the heels of its most successful Week One episode to date, with Scott Janish! The Matty and Noah revel in the success, try to find valuable lessons from the recent the podcast's growth in listenership; instead, their predictably petty takeaways are merely fixations on self esteem issues and disbelief in the fact that Scott, a man who has dedicated his brewing career to pushing the scientific understanding of IPAs, isn't in love with lagers. Thankfully, the latter point proves to be a good topic of discussion and the guys don't quite board the technical train, but at least take a ride on the Brewing Science & Psychology Shuttle Bus.
Noah and Matt discuss how lagers grew to become the definitive "brewer's beer", the importance of place in beer enjoyment, each share their favorite lager, and Noah rambles phonetic on his philosophy with lager yeast selection, why he never homebrewed lagers, the importance of decoction and alternative mash schedules, talks temperature, and gushes about spunding valves.
The response to a very technical conversation with Scott was nothing short of eye opening, so hopefully this will be the first of many episodes that live more in that practical arena, while still appealing to brewers, drinkers, and just people in general on a more consistent basis. Pastorianus On, Wayne!
