This episode has been sponsored by GreatBrewers.com.
"By the time we came out of it [writing the book] over a year later, the both of us were reeling that we really hadn't had any idea of exactly how big the beer thing was globally, and is only getting bigger." [12:00] -- Stephen Beaumont on Beer Sessions Radio
"As there are brewers all around the world that are trying to make spontaneously fermented, wild-fermented beers- should 'lambic' become the genuine... from Belgium? And the other revitalized types of beers using wild yeast should just be called something else?" [20:30] -- Tim Webb on Beer Sessions Radio
