00:05:39,036 [Eric laughs] It just does not end. 89 00:05:39,103 --> 00:05:41,673 It was really surprising to me when I started 90 00:05:41,740 --> 00:05:44,042 learning about beer, how simple 91 00:05:44,108 --> 00:05:45,509 the ingredients are. 92 00:05:45,576 --> 00:05:48,413 It's four ingredients right, water, malt, hops and yeast. 93 00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:51,416 But it's so hard to make a great beer. 94 00:05:56,622 --> 00:05:58,790 The process of making beers 95 00:05:58,858 --> 00:06:01,959 fundamentally the process of life itself. 96 00:06:02,026 --> 00:06:04,695 And it starts with a kernel of barley. 97 00:06:04,762 --> 00:06:07,565 By soaking the barley, seed in water, 98 00:06:07,632 --> 00:06:09,668 it starts to grow and germinate. 99 00:06:09,735 --> 00:06:11,903 As we crack open the grain in the mill. 100 00:06:11,971 --> 00:06:16,007 Get it wet and keep it warm for just a little bit. 101 00:06:16,074 --> 00:06:20,144 Separate the liquid or the wort as it's called 102 00:06:20,211 --> 00:06:21,312 from the grain. 103 00:06:21,379 --> 00:06:22,814 Wort is the essentially unfermented beer. 104 00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:26,818 You boil it, you add some hops, which incorporates bitterness. 105 00:06:26,886 --> 00:06:31,056 Cool that liquid down, add yeast, ferment. 106 00:06:31,122 --> 00:06:36,228 And these yeast micro-organisms produce alcohol 107 00:06:36,295 --> 00:06:40,566 and the bubbles and the flavor of beer. 108 00:06:40,632 --> 00:06:42,467 That's how you make beer. 109 00:06:46,572 --> 00:06:49,074 [background chatter] 110 00:06:49,141 -->

you, man. 144 00:08:39,217 --> 00:08:41,986 I think it has to do with the nature of beer 145 00:08:42,053 --> 00:08:46,991 and the ability to open people up. 146 00:08:47,058 --> 00:08:52,197 It

not tuned in 203 00:12:01,352 --> 00:12:05,856 to appreciating the concept of individuality 204 00:12:05,923 --> 00:12:10,327 and flavors and diversity in beverages. 205 00:12:10,394 --> 00:12:13,932 I was a kid during the 1950's and grew up 206 00:12:13,999 --> 00:12:16,968 with TV dinners, frozen dinners. 207 00:12:17,034 --> 00:12:19,103 Velveeta cheese, Wonder Bread. 208 00:12:19,171 --> 00:12:24,410 All the commoditized stuff that was so cool. 209 00:12:26,979 --> 00:12:28,280 Post-World War II. 210 00:12:28,346 --> 00:12:33,018 Industrialization and homogenization was hot and sexy. 211 00:12:33,085 --> 00:12:34,485 People wanted to go away from 212 00:12:34,552 --> 00:12:38,088 the rustic breads that made them feel like an immigrant. 213 00:12:38,155 --> 00:12:39,323 Towards a white bread, 214 00:12:39,390 --> 00:12:41,425 that made them feel like they fit into suburbia 215 00:12:41,493 --> 00:12:43,361 and they could be like everyone else. 216 00:12:43,427 --> 00:12:47,231 Hamburger, beer. better get another pack. 217 00:12:47,298 --> 00:12:49,967 A lot of different styles of beer got 218 00:12:50,034 --> 00:12:52,870 kind of homogenized down into 219 00:12:52,937 --> 00:12:54,105 American Lager. 220 00:12:54,173 --> 00:12:57,274 You know a very easy drinking, not very bitter, 221 00:12:57,341 --> 00:13:00,779 not too sweet, you know, kind of beer. 222 00:13:02,380 --> 00:13:04,315 It was this vision of a perfect world. 223 00:13:04,383 --> 00:13:07,319 That was absolutely unobtainable. 224 00:13:07,385 --> 00:13:09,520 My generation of baby boomers who grew up 225 00:13:09,587 --> 00:13:12,389 and realized that the world we're living in 226 00:13:12,456 --> 00:13:14,492 is a little bit fakey. 227 00:13:19,331 --> 00:13:22,267 As the counter culture numbers rises up in certain sections 228 00:13:22,333 --> 00:13:24,568 and people start to rebel against aspects of society 229 00:13:24,635 --> 00:13:27,137 There is a whole wing of it that rebelled 230 00:13:27,205 --> 00:13:30,376 against blandness in food. 231 00:13:31,610 --> 00:13:35,080 You know there was a desire to kind of remake ourselves. 232 00:13:35,147 --> 00:13:38,149 As every generation does, to try 233 00:13:38,216 --> 00:13:39,683 and find their own way. 234 00:13:39,750 --> 00:13:41,218 To try and correct the wrongs of their parent's generation. 235 00:13:41,285 --> 00:13:47,024 There really was this culture of, let's make our own bread. 236 00:13:47,091 --> 00:13:49,126 Let's plant a garden. 237 00:13:49,193 --> 00:13:52,163 Let's make beer. 238 00:13:52,230 --> 00:13:54,932 Are you excited about opening a brewery? 239 00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:56,301 Are you going to work there? 240 00:13:56,368 --> 00:13:58,403 It's mostly you that's doing it. 241 00:13:58,470 --> 00:14:00,572 It's mostly me that's doing it, yeah. 242 00:14:00,639 --> 00:14:02,274 - Yes. - Don't tell Eric. 243 00:14:03,140 --> 00:14:05,110 [laughter] 244 00:14:05,977 --> 00:14:08,445 - Oh, hi. - Hi. 245 00:14:08,513 --> 00:14:12,017 I think we first started putting the plans together... 246 00:14:12,083 --> 00:14:13,284 [Eric] I can look at my spreadsheet. 247 00:14:13,351 --> 00:14:16,321 Yeah it's on the spreadsheet, probably 2011. 248 00:14:16,388 --> 00:14:20,458 Was when we, it went from like, wouldn't it be cool 249 00:14:20,524 --> 00:14:25,062 to, okay what are we going to do here and 250 00:14:25,129 --> 00:14:27,331 we got, the three of us got together 251 00:14:27,399 --> 00:14:29,934 and Michael the partner that's not here, 252 00:14:30,001 --> 00:14:31,402 made a checklist. 253 00:14:31,470 --> 00:14:35,105 And so we wrote the business plan, 254 00:14:35,173 --> 00:14:38,243 did the research for over a year. 255 00:14:38,309 --> 00:14:41,712 And as much money as we are paying for it, 256 00:14:41,779 --> 00:14:43,514 it's really... 257 00:14:45,417 --> 00:14:48,219 similar to what you're doing here. [laughter] 258 00:14:48,285 --> 00:14:51,455 It's a very basic, user friendly system. 259 00:14:51,523 --> 00:14:54,625 It'll be pretty manually intensive. 260 00:14:54,692 --> 00:14:58,028 You not gonna be rolling in and just pressing a button... 261 00:14:58,096 --> 00:14:59,230 - No. - And getting beer out 262 00:14:59,297 --> 00:15:01,231 of the other end. 263 00:15:01,298 --> 00:15:03,302 Try not to spill on you. 264 00:15:06,171 --> 00:15:07,640 [Danny] Oh, yeah. 265 00:15:15,047 --> 00:15:19,384 Beer is what we're doing. 266 00:15:19,451 --> 00:15:23,455 But we are fascinated with craft everything.[laughs] 267 00:15:26,191 --> 00:15:27,526 [light music] 268 00:15:35,332 --> 00:15:38,636 [Danny] This will be the brewery. 269 00:15:40,371 --> 00:15:42,774 Yes, it's pretty gross right now. 270 00:15:42,841 --> 00:15:45,409 This used to be a C&R Clothiers. 271 00:15:45,476 --> 00:15:47,611 And then after that it was a 98 Cent store. 272 00:15:47,678 --> 00:15:50,414 We're going to cut drains into the floor here. 273 00:15:50,481 --> 00:15:52,250 Brine system, bright tanks. 274 00:15:52,317 --> 00:15:53,451 We are going to build a room here. 275 00:15:53,518 --> 00:15:55,420 We're gonna be one of those weird breweries 276 00:15:55,486 --> 00:15:57,421 that uses plastic fermenters. 277 00:15:57,489 --> 00:15:59,224 You know, we going to keep the sink. 278 00:15:59,291 --> 00:16:02,060 We're kind of a, if it ain't broke, don't fix it 279 00:16:02,126 --> 00:16:03,594 stage right now. 280 00:16:03,662 --> 00:16:07,331 Some ballerina is gonna have a broken heart. 281 00:16:07,399 --> 00:16:09,999 Why the mirrors are broken. 282 00:16:11,635 --> 00:16:15,105 I was 16 when we first started playing the clubs in the area. 283 00:16:15,173 --> 00:16:16,408 With real big fish. 284 00:16:16,475 --> 00:16:18,043 My family's all musicians 285 00:16:18,110 --> 00:16:19,478 and then my grandfather was a composer 286 00:16:19,544 --> 00:16:23,548 and played every instrument, Trombone in World War II. 287 00:16:23,615 --> 00:16:27,751 And he would always tell me, don't be a musician. 288 00:16:27,818 --> 00:16:34,324 You're going to be really poor and it's a crazy lifestyle. 289 00:16:34,392 --> 00:16:36,594 That's for me! 290 00:16:36,660 --> 00:16:38,562 So I joined a band in high school 291 00:16:38,629 --> 00:16:42,700 and we were touring around the local area playing clubs 292 00:16:42,767 --> 00:16:46,204 and the Ska scene started to get pretty big in the area. 293 00:16:46,270 --> 00:16:47,639 With Sublime and No Doubt. 294 00:16:47,706 --> 00:16:51,842 We got picked up by a label in 96 and made our record 295 00:16:51,909 --> 00:16:53,478 and hit the road. 296 00:17:02,254 --> 00:17:03,489 ♪ Nobody likes your girlfriend ♪ 297 00:17:03,554 --> 00:17:05,823 ♪ Sorry I had to break it to you man ♪ 298 00:17:05,891 --> 00:17:08,727 ♪ Everybody hates your girlfriend ♪ 299 00:17:12,696 --> 00:17:15,399 You know we'd go town to town and by the last probably 300 00:17:15,467 --> 00:17:16,868 five or six years I was in the band, 301 00:17:16,934 --> 00:17:20,637 we would say okay, there's this brewery here, that brewery here 302 00:17:20,704 --> 00:17:22,773 and we can hit three before sound check. 303 00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:25,742 You know then we'd roll into sound check after six beers. 304 00:17:25,809 --> 00:17:30,447 Let's do this, we only need two beers on stage for sound check 305 00:17:30,515 --> 00:17:34,119 And then we'd be like, alright we got like four more hours 306 00:17:34,185 --> 00:17:35,453 before the show. 307 00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:38,690 And so then we'd either go back to our favorite one 308 00:17:38,757 --> 00:17:40,759 or find a couple more. 309 00:17:41,692 --> 00:17:43,528 [crowd cheering] 310 00:17:43,595 --> 00:17:45,697 [Danny] I left in 2013. 311 00:17:45,763 --> 00:17:49,766 It was like, of course, I'm gonna start a brewery. 312 00:17:49,834 --> 00:17:52,670 I can't wait till we're open and they can come in and... 313 00:17:52,737 --> 00:17:55,807 and hangout, we went to so many breweries together, they're like 314 00:17:55,874 --> 00:17:57,875 that will be like the crowning achievement, 315 00:17:57,942 --> 00:18:00,677 when they're hanging out in here and we're having beers 316 00:18:00,744 --> 00:18:05,616 and it's like see where all those nights I'd 317 00:18:05,683 --> 00:18:09,287 be sitting in the back lounge with a joint going, no man 318 00:18:09,354 --> 00:18:11,823 my brewery though 319 00:18:11,890 --> 00:18:14,425 is going to look like this. 320 00:18:14,491 --> 00:18:17,361 And I was totally wrong. 321 00:18:21,633 --> 00:18:25,603 In the 70's nobody talked about beer. 322 00:18:25,670 --> 00:18:27,839 You bought a six pack of it. 323 00:18:27,905 --> 00:18:31,542 There was nothing to talk about and you drank it. 324 00:18:31,609 --> 00:18:33,777 At that period and time, it was the low point 325 00:18:33,845 --> 00:18:36,548 of the U.S. growing industry in recent times. 326 00:18:36,615 --> 00:18:39,349 There were fewer than 50 brewing companies 327 00:18:39,416 --> 00:18:40,584 in the whole country. 328 00:18:40,652 --> 00:18:43,453 And they were all making the same kind of beer. 329 00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:45,589 They were all making light lager beer. 330 00:18:45,656 --> 00:18:49,860 So it set the stage for beer lovers 331 00:18:49,928 --> 00:18:54,766 and home brewers to begin explore the history of beer. 332 00:18:54,833 --> 00:19:00,404 And the rainbow of beer styles that had been forgotten. 333 00:19:00,471 --> 00:19:02,339 This is Anchor Steam Beer. 334 00:19:02,406 --> 00:19:04,375 It's a firm bodied beer. 335 00:19:04,442 --> 00:19:05,609 With a clean maltiness 336 00:19:05,676 --> 00:19:08,880 and especially a very assertive hop character. 337 00:19:10,648 --> 00:19:12,416 But sort of in the middle there 338 00:19:12,483 --> 00:19:14,618 was a guy named Fritz Maytag. 339 00:19:14,685 --> 00:19:16,553 Got himself in San Francisco Bay area 340 00:19:16,621 --> 00:19:19,490 and became fascinated with a kind of run down old 341 00:19:19,557 --> 00:19:21,659 old brewery, called Anchor. 342 00:19:21,726 --> 00:19:24,596 They made a beer called, Steam Beer. 343 00:19:24,663 --> 00:19:26,764 When I bought the brewery, 344 00:19:26,830 --> 00:19:30,634 they were taking short cuts to save money. 345 00:19:30,701 --> 00:19:36,708 To desperately try to compete and make a profit. 346 00:19:36,775 --> 00:19:40,311 In those days they used sugar in the kettle 347 00:19:40,377 --> 00:19:42,946 to stretch the brew. 348 00:19:43,013 --> 00:19:45,782 It's cheaper and it's also less flavorful. 349 00:19:45,849 --> 00:19:49,920 It makes a lighter, thinner, plainer beer. 350 00:19:49,988 --> 00:19:53,725 So we eliminated all these shortcuts and we went 351 00:19:53,791 --> 00:19:56,593 to an all malt, highly hopped 352 00:19:56,661 --> 00:20:00,298 utterly pure, naturally carbonated fiber. 353 00:20:00,365 --> 00:20:01,865 There was nothing like it in America 354 00:20:01,932 --> 00:20:04,769 and almost really nothing like it in the world. 355 00:20:04,836 --> 00:20:07,505 In the sense how traditional it was. 356 00:20:07,571 --> 00:20:10,507 [Maureen] There's no doubt that Fritz Maytag 357 00:20:10,575 --> 00:20:11,976 was in it to make money. 358 00:20:12,042 --> 00:20:14,712 But he became evidence that 359 00:20:15,779 --> 00:20:17,882 here is a beer that is different. 360 00:20:17,949 --> 00:20:20,051 This guy is actually making a living at it. 361 00:20:20,117 --> 00:20:24,688 [Fritz] And after we began to make a mark for ourselves, 362 00:20:24,756 --> 00:20:27,525 we began to get visits from people who 363 00:20:27,592 --> 00:20:28,660 obviously was maybe thinking 364 00:20:28,726 --> 00:20:31,996 about trying to do what we had done. 365 00:20:32,063 --> 00:20:35,967 You know seeing what Fritz had done with Anchor 366 00:20:36,034 --> 00:20:39,704 in San Francisco and really you know sort of 367 00:20:39,770 --> 00:20:43,340 refined a historic style of beer. 368 00:20:43,407 --> 00:20:44,675 His Steam Beer. 369 00:20:44,742 --> 00:20:47,311 We realize was more probably of those niches that 370 00:20:47,378 --> 00:20:51,649 we could find people who love beer with character and flavor. 371 00:21:01,792 --> 00:21:05,263 [Jesse laughs] Because he does this. 372 00:21:05,797 --> 00:21:09,268 And, no! 373 00:21:10,535 --> 00:21:11,502 No. 374 00:21:11,568 --> 00:21:12,636 [Dan] I never had it. 375 00:21:12,703 --> 00:21:15,539 [Jesse] No, still don't. 376 00:21:16,941 --> 00:21:19,777 We're doing the whole thing, that's why I'm here sanding. 377 00:21:19,844 --> 00:21:21,779 [laughing] 378 00:21:22,881 --> 00:21:25,650 [Dan] We didn't really want to give up control 379 00:21:25,717 --> 00:21:28,753 of any part of it, so... 380 00:21:28,819 --> 00:21:32,557 decided we'll go for it and do it ourselves. 381 00:21:36,661 --> 00:21:39,464 [Jesse] Uh, 14 382 00:21:39,530 --> 00:21:42,899 - Fifteen, 16. - From this line to that wall. 383 00:21:42,967 --> 00:21:47,306 About 16 feet long, that's all cold room. 384 00:21:49,106 --> 00:21:51,642 Then this is the brew house area back here. 385 00:21:51,709 --> 00:21:53,110 You see the model over and over again. 386 00:21:53,176 --> 00:21:57,981 The finance guy, the brewer and the jack of all trades. 387 00:21:58,048 --> 00:22:01,719 And this is the jack of all trades and the brewer. 388 00:22:01,786 --> 00:22:04,489 And the jack of some trades. 389 00:22:04,556 --> 00:22:05,990 Of most trades. 390 00:22:06,057 --> 00:22:07,924 [both] And brewing. 391 00:22:07,991 --> 00:22:09,993 There's still some trades I'm working on. 392

00:52:02,018 --> 00:52:03,719 of the beer, of the wort. 905 00:52:03,786 --> 00:52:05,954 Generally speaking and certainly in craft brewing 906 00:52:06,021 --> 00:52:08,657 you would add hops at mainly three different stages. 907 00:52:08,724 --> 00:52:11,626 Early for bitterness, to balance out the sweetness of the malt. 908 00:52:11,693 --> 00:52:14,529 Middle boil, for a little bit of bitterness, 909 00:52:14,597 --> 00:52:17,200 a little bit of flavor, a little bit of aroma. 910 00:52:17,266 --> 00:52:18,567 And then at the very end 911 00:52:18,635 --> 00:52:21,337 or even a little bit later in the brewing process 912 00:52:21,403 --> 00:52:22,371 for aromas. 913 00:52:22,438 --> 00:52:24,740 Adding hops at the final hot stages 914 00:52:24,806 --> 00:52:27,742 you get different hop and aroma flavors that are 915 00:52:27,809 --> 00:52:30,445 carry over into the beer and you even get 916 00:52:30,512 --> 00:52:32,847 more interesting hop aromas and flavors 917 00:52:32,914 --> 00:52:38,654 if you introduce hops into the fermentation process. 918 00:52:41,023 --> 00:52:42,424 [Danny] Alright. 919 00:52:42,492 --> 00:52:45,695 So we're about to go in. 920 00:52:45,762 --> 00:52:47,897 You're going to have to watch your step, 921 00:52:47,963 --> 00:52:51,233 it's very dangerous inside. 922 00:52:53,536 --> 00:52:56,438 It's like Belgium in World War One. 923 00:52:57,539 --> 00:53:01,476 It's like a tomb, a lot of freshly dug earth 924 00:53:01,543 --> 00:53:04,879 and you know corpses. 925 00:53:04,947 --> 00:53:06,148 I'm going to cruise to the back. 926 00:53:06,215 --> 00:53:09,719 Open up the doors, so the fella's can get in. 927 00:53:09,786 --> 00:53:12,923 Intense security system here. 928 00:53:15,324 --> 00:53:18,360 Oh, hello! 929 00:53:18,427 --> 00:53:21,364 I can't believe this is actually happening. 930 00:53:21,431 --> 00:53:24,934 This morning, the correct 931 00:53:25,001 --> 00:53:28,704 air conditioning units were placed on the roof. 932 00:53:28,771 --> 00:53:33,876 It's been, this is the third attempt. 933 00:53:33,943 --> 00:53:37,747 That's on the owner, but it's about par for the course 934 00:53:37,813 --> 00:53:38,815 with this guy. 935 00:53:38,882 --> 00:53:43,918 We had to make sure that this got saved. 936 00:53:43,985 --> 00:53:50,358 Every day I think, it couldn't possibly get worse. 937 00:53:50,425 --> 00:53:52,927 It couldn't possibly be more difficult, 938 00:53:52,994 --> 00:53:57,601 like if this was, if we were doing a documentary right now 939 00:53:58,900 --> 00:54:02,937 they're would be that moment in the documentary where... 940 00:54:03,005 --> 00:54:05,675 [interviewer] Where the AC Unit collapses. 941 00:54:05,742 --> 00:54:09,045 Where the guy is like I hit rock bottom 942 00:54:09,112 --> 00:54:15,550 and I had this moment and it all started to turn around. 943 00:54:15,617 --> 00:54:18,019 And every time it gets worse I'm like 944 00:54:18,086 --> 00:54:19,855 maybe this is that moment, 945 00:54:19,922 --> 00:54:22,891 maybe it will all start to turn around 946 00:54:23,393 --> 00:54:24,592 So far 947 00:54:24,659 --> 00:54:27,297 that's not the case. 948 00:54:28,731 --> 00:54:30,700 It's good to get some beer though. 949 00:54:30,766 --> 00:54:34,736 Every time I try the beer, I think that's why. 950 00:54:34,804 --> 00:54:36,672 That's why I don't sleep. 951 00:54:36,739 --> 00:54:39,074 That's why we're still at it. 952 00:54:39,141 --> 00:54:42,544 I think for anybody that's going into their own business, 953 00:54:42,612 --> 00:54:43,980 having a passion for what you do, 954 00:54:44,047 --> 00:54:46,782 that's what carries you through and you're willing to work 955 00:54:46,849 --> 00:54:48,818 seven days a week and 12 hours a day 956 00:54:48,885 --> 00:54:52,622 and just put every fiber of your soul into the thing. 957 00:55:01,496 --> 00:55:03,565 [Jesse] Oh, my gosh. 958 00:55:03,632 --> 00:55:05,335 Look at that. 959 00:55:07,570 --> 00:55:08,571 Oh, my gosh. 960 00:55:08,637 --> 00:55:11,106 So we just got our shipment today 961 00:55:11,173 --> 00:55:12,541 of our fermenters. 962 00:55:12,608 --> 00:55:14,043 These containers have been 963 00:55:14,110 --> 00:55:16,378 closed and sealed from China. 964 00:55:16,445 --> 00:55:20,750 So this is the first anyone state side has seen it. 965 00:55:20,817 --> 00:55:23,320 [Dan] Okay, cue the music. 966 00:55:26,456 --> 00:55:28,325 [upbeat music] 967 00:55:53,715 --> 00:55:57,952 And we've been waiting for seven months now 968 00:55:58,019 --> 00:55:59,755 since we ordered these. 969 00:56:02,190 --> 00:56:04,827 [Dan] Come on, son. 970 00:56:08,164 --> 00:56:10,800 It's been extremely 971 00:56:12,034 --> 00:56:13,469 exciting today. 972 00:56:13,534 --> 00:56:17,539 I mean it gets kind of crazy, all our emotions and attitudes. 973 00:56:17,606 --> 00:56:21,043 We're kind of on adrenalin right now. 974 00:56:21,110 --> 00:56:22,378 [Jesse] Yes. 975 00:56:27,516 --> 00:56:29,719 Okay hold it right there. 976 00:56:39,661 --> 00:56:41,663 Hi. 977 00:56:44,634 --> 00:56:45,802 Yeah. 978 00:56:54,911 --> 00:56:59,148 Our GC said things are going to happen really fast 979 00:56:59,215 --> 00:57:00,983 when the concrete gets poured. 980 00:57:01,050 --> 00:57:03,252 He was not joking, like all the dry wall, 981 00:57:03,318 --> 00:57:04,887 most of the dry wall is up. 982 00:57:04,954 --> 00:57:07,490 They started fabricating the walls. 983 00:57:07,556 --> 00:57:11,659 I actually had a very minor 984 00:57:11,726 --> 00:57:13,127 anxiety attack yesterday, 985 00:57:13,195 --> 00:57:18,234 because I think on Friday Mike goes we're gonna do these 986 00:57:18,300 --> 00:57:21,103 soft openings, but we got to make sure you know 987 00:57:21,170 --> 00:57:24,039 the beers that we have are like the home brand beers. 988 00:57:24,106 --> 00:57:26,909 Aren't all my beers, home brand beers? 989 00:57:26,976 --> 00:57:29,644 I was just trying to deal with that. 990 00:57:29,711 --> 00:57:31,514 Like it wasn't bad that he said that, 991 00:57:31,581 --> 00:57:33,817 it was just like it's really happening. 992 00:57:35,585 --> 00:57:38,987 There's never been a single beer style that's captivated 993 00:57:39,054 --> 00:57:42,724 the excitement of a general populist 994 00:57:42,791 --> 00:57:44,226 as the IPA style. 995 00:57:44,293 --> 00:57:47,663 You know I tried my first IPA and I was like this is terrible, 996 00:57:47,730 --> 00:57:48,764 bitter and horrible. 997 00:57:48,831 --> 00:57:49,865 I was like, that's a lot of hops. 998 00:57:49,931 --> 00:57:51,799 Taste like your cat ate your weed 999 00:57:51,867 --> 00:57:53,001 and peed on your Christmas tree. 1000 00:57:53,068 --> 00:57:56,172 You know IPA is depended on having a lot of hops. 1001 00:57:57,306 --> 00:57:59,807 The hops have gone from 1002 00:57:59,875 --> 00:58:02,811 more of a bitterness only aspect 1003 00:58:02,878 --> 00:58:06,682 to more emphasis on aroma. 1004 00:58:06,748 --> 00:58:09,817 And today's IPA really is a kind of invention 1005 00:58:09,885 --> 00:58:11,954 of the American home brewer. 1006 00:58:12,021 --> 00:58:14,323 Initially when we were making beer 1007 00:58:14,389 --> 00:58:15,557 as home brewers in the '70s. 1008 00:58:15,625 --> 00:58:19,894 People valued hops only for their bitterness. 1009 00:58:19,961 --> 00:58:22,898 Bitter wasn't a big flavor component. 1010 00:58:22,965 --> 00:58:25,034 Hops weren't a big flavor component. 1011 00:58:25,101 --> 00:58:27,970 But that began to change when home brewers 1012 00:58:28,036 --> 00:58:31,005 started getting fresh hops 1013 00:58:31,072 --> 00:58:34,576 and using them in ways that were not 1014 00:58:34,643 --> 00:58:35,677 typically used. 1015 00:58:35,744 --> 00:58:38,980 And all of the sudden there was value 1016 00:58:39,047 --> 00:58:42,918 in the flavor and aroma of hops. 1017 00:58:43,753 --> 00:58:45,220 Until recently 1018 00:58:45,286 --> 00:58:47,922 almost all the hops in this country were grown 1019 00:58:47,989 --> 00:58:49,324 for one thing and one thing only. 1020 00:58:49,391 --> 00:58:52,260 And that was the amount of Alpha acid they had in it. 1021 00:58:52,327 --> 00:58:55,264 Alpha acid is just the chemical compounds 1022 00:58:55,331 --> 00:58:57,932 when they are boiled during the brewing process, 1023 00:58:58,000 --> 00:58:59,367 become that bittering. 1024 00:58:59,434 --> 00:59:01,269 That we associate with them. 1025 00:59:01,336 --> 00:59:04,172 You want to walk up to the original Simcoe field? 1026 00:59:04,239 --> 00:59:05,640 [interviewer] Yes. 1027 00:59:05,708 --> 00:59:08,010 We were developing hop rise looking for high production, 1028 00:59:08,077 --> 00:59:09,412 high alpha acid. 1029 00:59:09,478 --> 00:59:13,882 And when we did that, one of the plants we developed 1030 00:59:13,949 --> 00:59:15,250 turned out to be Simcoe. 1031 00:59:15,317 --> 00:59:17,885 And we thought it was a high alpha hop originally. 1032 00:59:17,952 --> 00:59:19,387 It had very high production and it had 1033 00:59:19,454 --> 00:59:22,891 pretty high alpha acids, maybe in the 13, 13 and a half percent 1034 00:59:22,958 --> 00:59:24,193 this was back in the mid '80s. 1035 00:59:24,259 --> 00:59:26,961 There's not a lot of high alpha hops being grown. 1036 00:59:27,028 --> 00:59:29,164 It had a nice aroma, but that isn't the reason 1037 00:59:29,231 --> 00:59:32,401 we bread it and we took it out to brewers 1038 00:59:32,467 --> 00:59:36,038 to look at and none of the big brewers were interested. 1039 00:59:36,105 --> 00:59:39,942 And a Vinnie from Russian River 1040 00:59:40,009 --> 00:59:42,777 probably was the one guy 1041 00:59:42,844 --> 00:59:44,779 that really pushed Simcoe. 1042 00:59:44,847 --> 00:59:48,917 Simcoe was this brand new hop variety, that had I experimented 1043 00:59:48,983 --> 00:59:52,186 with, when it was just an experimental pop. 1044 00:59:52,253 --> 00:59:55,289 Didn't even have a name yet, it was such a beautiful 1045 00:59:55,356 --> 00:59:58,826 grapefruit and pine and the little pungent 1046 00:59:58,893 --> 01:00:00,261 quality to it. 1047 01:00:00,329 --> 01:00:03,065 I remember pulling it out of the fermenter and smelling it 1048 01:00:03,132 --> 01:00:05,834 and going this beer doesn't even need to be dried hop 1049 01:00:05,900 --> 01:00:07,135 it was so aromatic. 1050 01:00:07,202 --> 01:00:10,806 Pliny the Elder was based primarily on Sincoe. 1051 01:00:10,873 --> 01:00:14,043 You know I love that Pliny carries this, 1052 01:00:14,110 --> 01:00:17,813 this greatness of big flavors and hop components 1053 01:00:17,880 --> 01:00:19,280 and it's very American hops, 1054 01:00:19,347 --> 01:00:23,951 pine and the citrus and the grapefruit and whatever else 1055 01:00:24,018 --> 01:00:26,054 is what we capture from the hops. 1056 01:00:26,121 --> 01:00:28,790 Hard to believe today, that this field 1057 01:00:28,858 --> 01:00:31,093 15 years ago lied idle and today there will be 1058 01:00:31,159 --> 01:00:33,928 something north of seven million pounds of Simcoe 1059 01:00:33,996 --> 01:00:36,898 growing in Washington, Oregon, and Idaho. 1060 01:00:47,976 --> 01:00:49,945 [Jesse] That should do it. 1061 01:00:51,780 --> 01:00:53,416 Two more sets. 1062 01:00:58,320 --> 01:01:01,390 I told you, I can't wait till these things break in. 1063 01:01:01,456 --> 01:01:04,225 Going from the system we were on, I mean it's 1064 01:01:04,293 --> 01:01:07,162 we literally built every square inch of it. 1065 01:01:07,228 --> 01:01:12,900 So we knew every little minuet thing about it. 1066 01:01:12,967 --> 01:01:14,502 [Dan laughing] This... 1067 01:01:14,570 --> 01:01:17,338 This I mean we put some pipes together where they 1068 01:01:17,405 --> 01:01:19,240 told us to put it together, but... 1069 01:01:19,307 --> 01:01:24,112 other than that it's we don't know anything about. 1070 01:01:24,980 --> 01:01:27,148 Worked just fine yesterday. 1071 01:01:27,215 --> 01:01:31,319 - That was at like a 170 right? - Yeah. 1072 01:01:32,588 --> 01:01:34,289 With the Homebrew system, 1073 01:01:34,356 --> 01:01:36,925 it's a couple stirs and you know throw 1074 01:01:36,992 --> 01:01:39,027 in some come cool or hot water 1075 01:01:39,094 --> 01:01:41,063 and everything kind of stabilizes quickly. 1076 01:01:41,130 --> 01:01:43,465 Here it's, you know 1077 01:01:43,532 --> 01:01:45,968 massive amounts. 1078 01:01:46,534 --> 01:01:48,203 [alarm beeping] 1079 01:01:54,108 --> 01:01:56,778 This is a boiler. 1080 01:01:56,846 --> 01:01:58,480 - [Jesse] Alright. - Whoo-hoo. 1081 01:01:58,547 --> 01:02:00,249 [Jesse] Dad, take a step back. 1082 01:02:03,251 --> 01:02:06,255 - Yes, it's boiling now. - [Jesse] Oh, good. 1083 01:02:07,255 --> 01:02:08,790 [reverse alarm] 1084 01:02:15,197 --> 01:02:17,231 Alright, go for it. 1085 01:02:17,298 --> 01:02:18,534 Here we go. 1086 01:02:18,599 --> 01:02:21,136 - [Danny] This is the mash tank. - Yeah, I think so. 1087 01:02:23,038 --> 01:02:25,273 Is it going to tilt? 1088 01:02:27,543 --> 01:02:29,378 Woo! 1089 01:02:37,920 --> 01:02:39,755 [upbeat music] 1090 01:02:57,907 --> 01:02:59,442 [indistinct chatter] 1091 01:03:05,414 --> 01:03:08,383 -
