The Brewing Network Presents | Dr. Homebrew

Sometimes the day just calls for a big bag of beer to dig through, and that's what this episode is all about! Getting three beer judges together to taste random craft beers is a good way to work on your vocabulary and...

Homebrew, homebrew, everywhere, but not a brewer in sight! Today's show is back to homebrew, but our guest, Steve, was feeling under the weather so we had to plod along without him. Steve had given us an English Mild...

Our friend Dave Teckam is back with us, as we dive into two Sierra Nevada Bigfoot vintages - one from 2024 and the other from way back in 2014. Most people consider 5 to 7 years as the "sweet spot" for this beer, so...

Homebrew is back, baby! Even if we had to drag it across the internet ourselves, we were hell bent on judging some homebrew on this show, and that's what we did. Cooper setn around one of his meads, made with Tupelo...

Browsing the shelves at our local big box beer stores, we realized there are so many winter beers on the market today, and many of them sort of go against what we consider to be true "Winter Warmers". So on today's...

Homebrew competitions are thriving, and there's no competition quite like the World Cup of Beer here in the Bay Area! On today's show, Steve from the Bay Area Mashers homebrew club, joins us to talk about the upcoming...

The holidays are among us, and so are the darker, sturdier beers. On today's show, we run through some classic Holiday beers as well as some new ones, and see how they would fall in the current BJCP guidelines. Learn...

It's wet hop season, and that means more than a few brewers are going to be packing their beers with tiny little flavor bombs of hoppy goodness this Fall. On today's show, we taste two local Fresh Hop beers to find the...

Oktoberfest season is here, and we like digging around for examples of the style we don't normally see. When Brian Schar found this NA Oktoberfest, we had to crack it open on the show and see what it was all about...

We're in the first throws of Oktoberfest season, so we thought it would only be appropriate to compare what the Germans are doing versus what the Americans are up to. I mean, it's not that drastic, but I didn't know...

Wandering around the liquor store, we realized that we had yet to approach the subject of the humble Radler, and where that fits in with the current BJCP guidelines. Plus, JP had never tried one before, so we had to...

The Inland Empire Brewers are back, and they brought more California Common for us! Part two of our massive deep-dive into the style of Cal Common, the Inland Empire Brewers flooded our halls with their takes on this...

One of the oldest homebrewing clubs in the country floods us with one of the oldest styles in the state - California Common! are either of these claims true? Who can tell? On this show, we take down three Cal Common...

Porters are one of those styles that represent many entry points for old school brewers, so it's nice to see them come across our desks - especially from someone new to the hobby. We're back with Dimitri as we discuss...
