    Brewmaster Series: Rye River - Bill Laukitis - Big Bangin' IPA

    Join us as we chat with Bill Laukitis, Rye River’s head brewer, and analyse their Big Bangin' in full detail. If you’re not familiar with the Brewmaster Series, this is one for the homebrewers and the beer geeks! We invite a head brewer to fully break down the beer recipe of one of their signature brews, from start to finish. We provide a homebrew recipe too, so if you’re a homebrewer you can have a bash at brewing it yourself! This episode sees us analyse Rye River's Big Bangin' IPA in full detail, talking through everything from its water profile, grain bill, mash and hopping schedule, all the way through to fermentation and packaging. This episode is slightly different to our previous podcast episodes, as it was recorded during a live online event that we hosted previously. We shared the recipe on screen as we chatted through it, so you may hear some references to that. Unfortunately we can’t do that on the podcast for obvious reasons, but the recipe is available to download below.

    Beer Destination: Dublin 8

    In Beer Destination: Dublin 8 we take a stroll around D8, and chat with the people who make the independent beer scene tick. My first stop is at the Rascals HQ Brewery & Taproom, located in Inchicore. Here I sit down with co-founder Cathal O'Donoghue to hear all about Rascal's story to date, their plans for the future, and everything else in between. Rascals Website & Brewery Tour Rascals Facebook Rascals Instagram Rascals Twitter Next up, I make my way towards the city centre, and my next stop in Rialto. I find myself with a few minutes to spare before my next interview, and can't help but pop my head into the Mace SCR Off Licence. Located at the back of the store is a hidden treasure trove of exceptional beer. After picking up a few brews, I make the short stroll to The Circular, located on South Circular Road. It's here I sit down to chat with co-owner John Mahon. The Circular Website The Circular Facebook The Circular Instagram My third and final stop is a short stroll from The Circular, in the direction of Dolphins Barn. Located in a small, tucked away industrial unit, behind the Jurassic Park-style gates (as described by Shane Kelly himself), lies the Dot Brew warehouse. Renowned for crafting a stunning range of barrel aged beers, Dot Brew has been at the forefront of innovation in the Irish beer scene since 2016. It's here where I sit with Dot Brew founder Shane Kelly, and ask him to introduce himself, and to tell us a little bit about Dot Brew.
