Dr Pat Mace from USA IPA trailblazer Lagunitas Brewing Company joins the podcast for an informal Q&A session.
Note: The audience members were not mic'd up for questions. Audio for these bits have been boosted, but they are also transcribed below. As the Lagunitas slogan goes, "Beer speaks. People mumble."
Audience Questions(6:44) "I'd to know how... I mean, I don't really know the history about
this beer, the IPA - your IPA - how long has that been available in
the US for, has the recipe changed over the years?"
(14:44) "You guys are just down the road, do you guys do much collab or...
how well do you guys get along? Do you get along well? Do you share
brews? Are you comrades or competitors? Or a bit of everything?"
(21:19) "If you're thinking of the increased distribution you're getting from
Heineken, and you're at full max in these two breweries, are you
looking at building more, like increasing the size of the breweries
in California and Chicago, or are you looking at maybe building a
third?"
(23:12) "I was just keen to find out the history of the name 'Lagunitas'."
(24:25) "I was going to ask... as a sort of IPA pioneer, what do you think
about New England IPAs? It's the beer of the moment - what's your
take?"
(25:06) "Just the beers in the bar that are going to be available in
Australia or are you distributing more beers?"
