Land-Grant University - Beers with the Brewers

This week Dan, Walt and Mark jump on the podcast for a two beer episode. First we take a virtual trip to Italy for Nonna, an Italian-style dry hopped Pilsner will whisk you away on the back of a Vespa and deliver you to a hillside veranda with a Mediterranean view and welcoming company. A crisp flavorful beer that's tasty on its own, or with a full spread of Grandma's ancient family recipes. Then we come back to have our fourth iteration in our Lonely Hops Club single hop series featuring El Dorado hops which create a big, bright tropical fruit, watermelon, and peach hazy pale that will never leave you lonely! Cheers!

It’s a tart, slightly-salty Gose-style ale that celebrates our Ohio farm-country heritage. Perfect for enjoying with a safely-distanced pal.

Justin, Walt and Mark greet the return of an old favorite. We first brewed our take on the Creamsicle back in 2015, and now it has finally arrived in cans. A crisp Kölsch backbone serves up intense Summer-friendly aroma from the addition of orange and vanilla beans.
