Home Brew Rock Stars Podcast

New England IPA, Maplewood, Heist, Pig Minds, Billy Gibbons and more w/guest brewer Blake Aper Follow Brent and Mike during an exclusive "get-toknow" with BLAKE APER (Forest City Brewers) to explore his #homebrew process on the PICOBrew Zymatic system (also used by Denny Conn and many other home-brew rock stars), as well as other insights from Blake as we prod his head on just how he creates his award-winning beers. Along with sidekick Kent Runte, this episode also features a tasting of some New England IPA-like styles including Death Grip IPA from our sponsor, Pig Minds Brewing, a tasty NEIPA called Blurred from Heist Brewing (Charlotte) and a mouth watering finale with Maplewood Son of Juice, the oat-soaked hoppy little brother to their infamous Juicy Pants. Our popular “Real or Fake?” segment tests Mike and Blake on HOP names (not as easy as you think!), this week's “Drunk "non" Debate" discusses New England IPAs…and we take some closure from “what ya been listening to” with news on Billy Gibbons (ZZ Top),
