This week on Beer Sessions, Jimmy and Ray explore the oft-overlooked item that is absolutely necessary for yeast to create alcohol: malt. Jay Steinhauer of American Beer Distributing and Benjamin Stutz of Brooklyn Homebrew talk about base yeast, specialty yeast, and making beer, plus Sam Barbieri of Waterfront Ale House talks about his career in the bar (and ice cream) biz. Christan and Andrea of Valley Malts discuss their exceedingly rare project to create their own, local version of a Malt House. Finally the guys discuss aged beers, barley wine, and this years pumpkin shortage (yes, there was a pumpkin shortage). This episode was sponsored by Great Brewers.com: a favorite source for beer information and education and one of the internet's most popular beer destinations.

This week on Beer Sessions Jimmy and Ray sat down with Paul Kermizian, owner of the incredible field of flashing lights and frothy pints known as Barcade and now director of the documentary American Beer, plus "roving reporter" Dave Brodrick. The guys talked about the "flyover states", aka Middle America, and the breweries and beer varieties nestled between our coasts. Omar Ansari of Surly Brewing Company also called in to talk about putting craft beer in cans and how he changed his local laws to become a brewer.
