All About Beer

Japanese rice lagers are having a moment in the beer industry right now. It feels like nowadays everyone is brewing one and they’ve become a popular part of the golden lager trend. But what goes into making them and what unique ways are people exploring to bring this style to the next level? We’ve also been told that rice is just a cheap adjunct that adds no flavor of consequence but new research suggests that rice is more than it seems.
 

On this episode of the All About Beer podcast, we talk to a brewery owner about new ways to brew Japanese rice lager (foeders?!) and a food scientist who gives us the new facts on rice flavor.
