Stan Hieronymus - Journalist and Author

This week, we're chatting about hops as we catch up with journalist, author and industry legend, Stan Hieronymus. Stan is a professional journalist and amateur brewer who has made beer his beat since 1993. He is perhaps best known here for influential books Brew Like A Monk: Trappist, Abbey and Strong Belgian Ales and How to Brew Them; Brewing with Wheat: The "Wit" and "Weizen" of Wheat Beer Styles and For The Love of Hops: The Practical Guide to Aroma, Bitterness and the Culture of Hops. He also maintains one of the surviving high quality beer blogs, Appellation Beer, and his hop specific newsletter Hop Queries. Enjoy the conversation.
