Spencer Longhurst of Barrique Brewing and Blending intervies Jesse Brown, the head brewer at Formula Brewing Co.
Brown discusses his more than a decade in brewing, and his focus on lagers. As it’s the season in the Pacific Northwest, Brown goes into his approach to fresh hop beers, and he talks about how the brewery approaches consumer sales. He also emphasizes the importance of competition and judging in improving brewing skills. The conversation touches on the challenges of maintaining a healthy work-life balance and the evolving trends in craft beer, particularly the rise of lagers and the continued popularity of hazy IPAs.
