This week on Beer Sessions Radio (TM) investigates that one ingredient that, though oft overlooked, without which beer could not exist: water. Joined by regulars Jen Schwertman and Dave Brodrick of The Blind Tiger and along with water researcher Kai Olson-Sawyer and sustainability expert Caleb Stratton this episode investigates the water footprint it takes to run a brewery, what they're doing to become sustainable, and how and why water is so important in creating the flavor profile of a good beer. This episode is sponsored by GreatBrewers.com.
"Beer is probably one of those things that people don't think about in terms of water but it is the body of beer."
--Dave Brodrick on Beer Sessions Radio(TM)
"Vermont a water rich state...but even in water rich places you need to be concerned with the amount of water you draw. It can never be out of your mind. If you're doing things right, regardless of your business, it needs to be something you consider."
--Caleb Stratton on Beer Sessions Radio(TM)
"People don't realize that brewers don't make a lot of money. This is a passionate industry. You don't go into this business with [profit] in mind. These guys just want to make their beer, do it the way they want, make their customers happy and make enough of a living to keep their family going and be successful on a small scale."
--Jen Schwertman on Beer Sessions Radio(TM)

On a special recording, Erin Fairbanks, Executive Director of HeritageRadioNetwork.org, has an intimate conversation with Academy Award winning actress Frances McDormand. Frances's latest film, Promised Land, tells the story of a salesman for a natural gas company who experiences life-changing events after arriving in a small town, where his corporation wants to tap into the available resources using hydrofracking technology. Frances and Erin discuss the threat fracking poses to the earth, the effect that Hollywood has on public perception, and the responsibility of future generations to help save the planet. Later in the interview, a few of Frances's friends join the studio to discuss creative projects both new and old. This program was sponsored by Tekserve.
"The idea that a film can teach anything that the public doesn't already know is subversive." [4:15]
"Capitalism has gone from the idea of 'supply and demand' to 'greed and demand.'" [10:30]
"I think that a lot of time has to go into educating ourselves that we aren't going to get everything we want." [19:10]
