Episode 387 - Necromancer Brewing

The good folks at Necromancer Brewing in Pittsburgh want to bring dead beer styles back to life, learning from the past while also using modern techniques and ingredients to reinvigorate these long-dormant styles for a new audience. On the first day that their taproom opened, Craig happened to be in town and was lucky to chat with head brewer Lauren Hughes before buying up almost every can they had to offer. Lauren shares the journey that led to Necromancer's opening and the long-term vision of expansion, while articulating why these styles all deserve a second chance. Also, we consider a new take on BYO, sample the hot Jerrysauce, and open up our little bock book. Remember, there's no resurrection in seltzer.  Lauren Hughes Interview 00:08:36 - 00:25:45 Beers Reviewed Square Dancing (Kentucky Common) Wildwood (Grisette) Laissez-Faire (Witbier) Cold Feet (Cold IPA) Poker Face (Black IPA)
