On this episode of Consuming the Craft Podcast, Puff, and John Lyda discuss the upcoming season and the new group of students starting in the fall. They also talk about the program's 10th anniversary and reminisce about how time has flown by. The conversation takes an unexpected turn when they mention pumpkin season, but they clarify that they are not referring to pumpkin-flavored drinks or desserts. Puff shares an interesting anecdote about pumpkins and asks the students about their pumpkin-growing experiences.
You’ll learn about the upcoming new student season in our craft program, and we’ll delve into the concept of seasonal creep and how it affects the brewing of pumpkin beer. John goes into the importance of letting flavors blend in certain beers, and we discuss safety concerns for those in our industry who have lost their sense of smell and taste.
I'll introduce you to a unique liqueur called "Beatnik" and explore various types of gin and potential flavor pairings; we’ll talk about the necessity of research and experimentation when developing new products, the hurdles of increasing production and sourcing ingredients, as well as the financial and legal facets of selling alcohol.
You'll discover a particular rum named Añejo and its distinct flavors, see the unique packaging of a certain product, learn about the method of applying a stretchy neck seal on bottles, and wrap up my admiration for several brands and organizations.
You know, pumping molasses is different than pumping water, right?"
