The Brew Is Out There!

It’s not secret that a lot of people missed the AHA’s HomeBrewCon experience this year and a lot of folks shouted that we should do something! So Mark Hurley of The Brew Hut (attached to Dry Dock Brewing) did just that and hosted a one day Colorado Homebrew Conference!

Ever wondered what happens when you treat your kitchen like a lab and your curiosity as the most important ingredient? That's the spirit you'll find in Experimental Brewing, a conversation with longtime brewers and authors Denny Conn and Drew Beechum. This isn't just about following recipes; it's about questioning them. Each episode feels like pulling up a stool next to two friends who are deeply passionate about both the granular details and the big, joyful ideas behind making beer. You'll hear them dissect the chemistry of a perfect mash just as eagerly as they brainstorm how to actually brew that wild concept you've been sketching on a napkin. The podcast lives in that fascinating space where methodical science meets creative art, all aimed at understanding what makes a beer truly great. Whether you're looking to refine a classic style or figure out if your latest "what if" experiment has any merit, Denny and Drew offer a blend of practical advice, hard-won experience, and infectious enthusiasm. They champion the homebrewer's journey from concept to glass, making the process accessible and endlessly interesting. Tune in for a thoughtful, often humorous, and always genuine exploration of flavor, technique, and the simple pleasure of a well-crafted beer.
