In our annual pre-game show for Superbowl Sunday we welcome a wonderful UK brewery to the studio, Moor Beer Company. What better way to celebrate an American tradition than with Europeans! We talk about real ale, cask conditioning, and how Moor's brewmaster Justin Hawke is able to infuse new American styles with traditional English beer. Phil from Beer Merchants joins us too and we get to try beer from 1985! It's better than a new pair of nutters.

Jamil and Tasty take on the challenge of homebrewing Captain Lawrence Xtra Gold in this episode of Can You Brew It.

Scott Vaccaro, the brewmaster and owner at Captain Lawrence also joins the program to lend his guidance. Tune in and see if the crew is able to make it happen!

In this episode of Brew Strong Jamil and John Palmer discuss boil chemistry in your brewing process.

Learn about what takes place in the boil and how to maximize your results with this Brew Strong.
