Land-Grant University - Beers with the Brewers

Field to Fjord, a Little Fish Collaboration

Collaborations are always a treat, especially amongst good friends. This week Dan, Walt, Mark and Sean White of Little Fish Brewing get a chance to share our collaborative effort, Field to Fjord Nordic Pilsner. This crisp, refreshing pilsner is brewed collaboratively with Ohio grain, Ohio blue corn, Michigan Crystal Hops, and Oslo Kveik Yeast. The resulting beer is a crackery pilsner with floral and slightly spicy hop notes.

Spice Market - Wheat Ale with Chai Spice

Join Dan, Adam, and Mark this week as they head to the Spice Market. This Wheat Ale gets an Indian-inspired infusion of spice via the addition of Chai Spice. Notes of Cinnamon, Clove, Ginger, Cardamom, and Nutmeg shine through and lend this easy drinking beer a uniquely warming character. We also answer a question from a listener wondering if we experience the same woes of cleaning up messes in the brewery that he experiences in his own homebrewing.

Lupular Reaction IPA

This week Dan, Chris, Mark and Walt get to crushing yet another super juicy Land-Grant IPA. To give this IPA a huge burst of Guava-tastic flavor, our brewers broke down the Guava fruit's flavor compounds to their barest elements, then assigned hops with similar flavors (Mosaic, Citra, Huell Melon, and Simcoe) to rebuild the Guava's experience via lupulin!

Recovery Haze IPA and Dank Costanza DIPA

This week Dan, Walt, Adam, and Mark and a whole crew of weather analyzing groundhogs test the crush-ability on two of our latest IPAs in a two beer episode.

Whether forming new habits or continuing your year-round push for excellence, this juicy and tropical Recovery Haze IPA will have you back at it in no time. Brewed for an extra-low ABV, low calorie count, and with electrolytes to replenish your body after a long workout.

You wanna piece of Dank? You got it! Dank Costanza Double IPA, using Strata, CTZ, and Amarillo hops, brings loud, in-your-face Grapefruit aromatics and flavor to the table. So grab a periodical, kick back, and find some hoppy serenity, now!

What're You Doing Here? West Coast IPA

Take the Six Seven Oh to the Three One Five and take that on down to Town Street and cruise east til you catch the rich aroma of hops on the breeze. This IPA, fashioned after the classic West Coast IPAs that defined craft beer in the 2000s. Cascade, Amarillo, Centennial, Summit hops give this beer a resinous grapefruit character with a bitter and clean finish. Join Dan, Adam, Walt and Mark to find out what makes up this West Coast IPA!

Get There Fast - Milkshake IPA

When you need to get away from It All, it's time to get there fast, and take it slow. This citrus-tastically sweet IPA is brewed with Amarillo, Motueka, and Citra hops to highlight the addition of Key Lime. Vanilla and Lactose give the beer a creamy milkshake-esque sipping experience. Join Adam, Walt, Justin, and Mark this week in the island of our mind as we sip this super limited tropical treat!

BWTB -And Beyond Black IPA with Coffee

Justin, Walt and Mark discuss our annual Space-Grant series Black IPA, featuring Chinook, Simcoe, Azacca hops. Brewed with bold Crimson Cup Kossa Kebena and Antiqua Finca el Cadejo Coffee it is a deep-space black IPA that blasts off seeking new Tropical horizons. 2021 marks both 60 years of manned space flight, and the 40th anniversary of NASA's first space shuttle launch which took flight on April 12th, 1981. The groundbreaking shuttle program ran for 50 years until 2011, and ten years later we are poised to continue that legacy of discovery. This year, NASA continues our drive for exploration and with the planned launch of Artemis 1. The launch, scheduled for this November, will be the first step in our planned return to the moon in 2024.

Capital Companions plus Barrel-Aged Beers

Like birds of a feather, you'll always find Columbus and Mosaic hops a flight upon the aromatic winds of dank citrus and resinous tropical fruit. These airborne companions blow in a foggy, hazy cloud of huge flavor and juicy vibes throughout the Capital City!

This week Justin, Dan, Walt and Mark get a chance to sample Capital Companions Columbus-Mosaic Hazy IPA and describe the delights of our two barrel-aged offerings, Spirited Acquaintances Bourbon Barrel-Aged Ale, a collaboration with Middle West Spirits and Uisce Beatha Irish Whiskey Barrel-Aged Imperial Coffee Stout with Lactose and Stauf’s coffee.

Welcome all! It's a Festivus, for the rest of us! This week Mark, Dan, Adam, and Walt celebrate Festivus by testing the crush-ability of our latest IPA, Lifty. Winter is here and it may seem like a long way up that mountain...but we're gonna let you in on a little shortcut: Lifty is a comfy-cozy blast of Southern Hemisphere sunshine, a rejuvenating citrus-powered ride above the weather brought to you by Waimea, Wakatu, and Rakau hops.
