    Inside Atlanta’s Premier Brew Shop with Joshua Lord | Episode 484

    When you start homebrewing, it usually begins with a specific obsession. For this week’s guest, that obsession was a total lack of great, accessible Saisons in his local market, so he did what any passionate brewer would do: he eventually bought the whole homebrew supply shop! I am so delighted to sit down with Joshua Lord, the owner and brewer at The Brew Depot over in Alpharetta, Georgia. We’re diving deep into his journey from passionate hobbyist to taking the reins of a premier brick-and-mortar hub, and discussing exactly how he’s working to lower the barrier of entry for new brewers while helping us all get closer to our raw ingredients. Thank you so much for tuning into the Homebrew Happy Hour podcast!… THE home brew #podcast where we answer all of your home brewing questions and discuss anything related to craft beer!

But as the world’s largest producer of specialty malt, Viking is changing the game. Sourced strictly from local farmers in Northern Europe—where harsh winters naturally reduce the need for chemical pesticides—Viking delivers pristine, non-GMO barley that consistently wins gold medals at major pro and homebrew competitions. Because of direct importing, you get access to this exact same pro-level quality at a price that easily competes with standard, cheaper domestic malts.Join a recipe receiving tier of our Trub Club today because every kit that ships out now includes premium Viking Malt, join at https://www.patreon.com/HomebrewHappyHour————————– This episode is brought to you by Brewer’s Friend!
