Why Can't IBU?
from The Hopologist Podcast · host Hopologist Brew Talk
Greetings! In this episode I talk about IBUs (International Bitterness Units) and why you shouldn't pay attention to them. Before that I try 3 beers from the German brewery Krombacher (Pils, Weizen and Dark) and rant about New England-style IPAs. For this podcast I got information from one my favorite books, Tasting Beer by Randy Mosher as well as The Oxford Companion to Beer (it's legit a beer encyclopedia) edited by Garret Oliver. Would love to hear your feedback! Comment on the anchor app or hit me up on Instagram, Facebook, or Twitter @hopologist Cheers!! EDIT: In the episode I mention that Krombacher is Germany's best-selling brand. They are actually Germany's best-selling PREMIUM Brand.
