From working with global local ingredients, to finding creativity through flavor, Austin Jevne the Owner & Head Brewer of Humble Forager Brewery is here to talk about working around arcane regulations, and making beers for a modern audience.
Show Notes
Much of the professional brewing world is focused on Minnesota this week as the annual Craft Brewers Conference is happening, along with the World Beer Cup competition. I thought it would be a good to check in with a brewer in the state – or at least one connected with the state.
Minnesota beer laws are wonky which has led to creative solutions. Austin Jevne the Owner & Head Brewer of Humble Forager, which is contract brewed in Wisconsin as well as Minneapolis, will explain how the brand developed out of an existing brewpub in Rochester, Minnesota.
From finding local ingredients on his travels that inspire new beers, to scaling up from small batches to large ones while not sacrificing flavor or ethos, Austin takes us through his creative process on brewing that now extends to hard seltzer.
He’s also big on collaborations and gives us a curtain raiser on one that is being brewed this week with Other Half Brewery.
Austin sees beer as an adventure and wants every recipe to reflect that sense.And if you’re still brewing small and curious about finding your own local ingredients he has tips for that as well.
