From ambers to stouts, explore the world of beer with brewer Bobby Fleshman and drinker Gary Arndt. Here, we respect the beer!
In our first few episodes, we cover the origins of McFleshman's brewery and it's lead brewer, Bobby Fleshman. While studying for a PhD in astrophysics, Bobby fell in love with homebrewing. After consistently winning brewing competitions, he and his wife Alison McCoy decided to start a brewery with a different type of experience. Thus McFleshman's was born!
Other topics covered include: the chemical make up of beer, the differences between the huge variety of beers, how color affects beer's taste, homebrewing, starting a brewery, why beer get's skunked, the origins of hops, and much more.
