Podcast: Craft brewing chatter from Carson Souza at Pig Minds
This
episode features a remote podcast with Pig
Minds Brewing head brewer Carson Souza. We do our best to
extract his beginnings and discover out he's been brewing
to his own soundtrack, and then some! It's a wild ride through some
deep conversation from a bright and rising star in the craft
brewing scene. We also do some tasting of his newest beer called
Juicy Minds, a clear and clean version of the New England IPA...or
perhaps, it's the Midwest IPA?! Add another tasty treat with a very
solid Hefeweizen, and we finished the night off with a spicy
sipping of Kent's Chipotle Porter home brew (which incidentally,
blended fabulously with Carson's Maple Porter...just saying). We
also put Pig Minds operations manager, Shane Johnson, to the test
with a "Real or Fake - Bands and Brewery
Collaborations"...yes, Kid Rock, ACDC, Pearl Jam and
Warren Haynes all drop into the trivia fun. Speaking of
collaboration beers, we do a fun tasting of Wood-Aged Bitches
Brew from DogFishHead, a tribute to Miles Davis
famous jazz-fusion masterpiece. This beer is worth seeking
out, with notes of sweet roast coffee, and aromas of vanilla,
licorice and chocolate. We got wood, too:) All this while our home
brew club friends from Forest City Brewers hung out in the
brewery for their monthly tasters guild. Share this podcast
with your friends (below) and send us your feedback for what you'd
like us to talk about. Plus...tune in next episode as we
entertain more home brew escapades with Mike Coisman
and his beer, cider, mead and wine making
processes! #drinkitup
