Or the numerous links people here have to a European ancestry. Whatever the cause, the Pacific Northwest has a reputation as the microbrew capital of the world. Oregon State University has played no small part in building this image, thanks to the hard work and talents of graduates of its fermentation science program in the Department of Food Science and Technology. With one of the nation’s only teaching breweries, OSU offers students the opportunity to develop new brews while they learn subtle chemistry of taste and the innovations of business. Cheers to the Bend Brewfest breweries who count graduates of Oregon State University’s Fermentation Science program within their ranks: Boneyard Beer, Bridgeport, Cascade Lakes, Deschutes, Double Mountain, Fire Mountain, Full Sail, Hopworks Urban, McMenamins, Ninkasi, Pelican Pub, Redhook and Widmer Brothers. 8 | Bend Brewfest 2013 | Thursday-Saturday, August 15-17 Thomas H.

INDIA PALE ALES, usually known as IPAs, were originally pale ales brewed extra strong and hoppy for shipment to the English colonies in India. American brewers are notorious hopheads, and they often use the IPA to show off their hopping prowess. IPAs should have a pronounced fruity or earthy hop aroma and flavor. A rich body from the pale malts and sometimes caramel malts should be present as a foil for the hop flavor. They are often intensely bitter andd have ve a dry finish. innis DEFINING ABV ABV stands for “alcohol by volume.” It is a standard measure for how much alcohol (ethanol) is contained in an alcoholic beverage, like beer. DEFINING IBU IBU stands for “International Bittering Units.” This is a measurement of the actual bitterness of a beer as contributed by the alpha acid of the hops. Generally speaking, beers with IBUs of less than 20 have little to no apparent hops presence. IBUs from 20 to 45 offer a mild to pronounced hops presence, and IBUs greater than 45 — while still considered mild by many Northwest brewers’s standards — offer a more pronounced hops flavor and bitterness. KOLSCH is a pale, dry German ma ale le that th tha t originated in the ccity of Cologne (Köln).

The traditional German or Czech styles represented at the festival are crip lagers with a smooth, malty flavor.

STOUTS are dark brown to inky black ales that feature the rich flavors of roasted malts that include chocolate, coffee, toffee and charcoal. They can be light-bodied such as draft Guinness, or rich and thick. Although hop flavor and aromaa are low, they sometimes display a noticeable bitterness from both hops and roasted grains. STRONG ALE is a catchall category te for beers from 7 percent alcohol by volume and above. Characteristics will vary greatly, with some sharing similarities with Barleywines andd Old Ales.

Leading the charge are Tom Brohammer and Tim Koester with COHO, and Tom Gilles of the Brew Shop. Here is a peek at the interview we conducted with these boys in July over a pint of Beer Camp 99 India Farmhouse Ale. For the full Q&A, visit our website www.bendbrewfest.com. Bend Brewfest (BBF) - Tom, you were recently invited to the highly sought-after experience of brewing beer at the Sierra Nevada Brew Camp. Do you care to enlighten us about your experience? I know that’s a heavy question, but if you can give us a brief summary of your adventure, we’d love to hear it. The Brew Shop (TBS) - The opportunity to go to Sierra Nevada Brewing Camp is extremely rare, and when you get asked to go, you don’t say no — you make our life work around it. It was a phenomenal experience. The brewery itself is just an unbelievably classy operation. Amazing equipment and people; they treated us like kings — put us up, fed us ... we drank soooo much beer. We got to meet Ken Grossman, and the next day when we met in the boardroom and discussed recipe ideas and formulated what we wanted to do, which was a challenge with 12 people. We came up with an interesting combination of India Farmhouse Ale, which is not a true style but it’s tasty. We were fortunate to have, freshly flown in from New Zealand, some Nelson Sauvin hops. We were the first people in North America to brew with them. They were literally flown in the day before, and as soon as we heard those hops were available, we said, “OK, we have got to do a single hop with those.” Some folks really wanted to do a Belgian style — something different — so we chose the French Saison, which is pretty tame compared to some of the Belgian strains, and we fermented it cool to kind of hide the hop profile... I think it turned out pretty nice. We will be serving that on the X-Tap at the Brewfest. BBF - COHO, tell us about your membership process. Can anyone join? There are a lot of folks who are intimidated to jump into home brewing out there. Central Oregon Homebrewers Organization (COHO - Tom Brohammer) - Come to a meeting, and be over 21 years old. Meetings are the third Wednesday of every month. Check out www. cohomebrewers.org and you can find all the contact and meeting information you will need to join us. We encourage people of all brewing levels to come. We have members that are brand new, never brewed in their lives to members that are pro brewers here in town. It works really well because everyone is willing to share so much information, which makes the learning curve a lot nicer. There are educational aspects to every meeting ranging from fairly elementary to complex. A lot of pro brewers come in and share what they are doing and talk to everyone about recipes and styles which is so cool. Also, once a month we hold a Group Brew at somebody’s house. It is a great way to come and see what different people are doing and get exposed to it. 22 | Bend Brewfest 2013 | Thursday-Saturday, August 15-17 BBF - It seems like the pro brewers and homebrewers in town have a great relationship. COHO (Tim Koester) - It’s a really brewfriendly town. The professional brewers are really supportive of the club. TBS/PP - All the way up to Gary Fish [of Deschutes Brewery]. He’s been supportive all the way. BBF - You guys have been our “Ask Me About Beer” hosts for many years now. Any FAQs or experiences that stand out? TBS - One thing that I would really like to stress that might help people: I know that the more Brewfests you attend, the more you understand, but one thing I notice every year is that people get their mug and tokens, go up to the volunteers pouring the beer and assume they know everything about the beer and the brewery they are pouring for. Go to the Brewtality Tent, meet the brewers and owners and representatives and ask them the questions. Those are the people with answers. Interview with COHO and The Brew Shop & Platypus Pub was held on July 16, 2013 and included Tom Brohammer, president of COHO, Tim Koester, VP of COHO and Tom Gilles, owner of The Brew Shop & Platypus Pub.

The blog, founded by Samurai Artist and featuring a crew of contributors including “SNOB” Ritch, El Gordo and many talented others, focuses on fresh beer news, opinion/criticism of beers and trends in the craft beer industry. It’s a great window into the craft beer industry. This is the latest from New School writer Ezra Johnson-Greenough. You can read more on their website, www.newschoolbeer.com. long as a brewery is making good beer? Let’s worry about our own businesses before concerning ourselves with what others are doing. by Ezra Johnson-Greenough, New School Beer Blog By all accounts, the craft beer industry is booming. Sales of craft beer rose to 1.3 million barrels brewed just in Oregon in 2012, and the number of breweries in the country soared to an all-time high 2,416, with new brewery openings showing no sign of slowing down. Bend, along with Portland, has long been a leader of this growing industry in both Oregon and the nation, and as the number of new breweries opening up continue to surge, so does the chatter of the naysayers. Years ago, critics in Portland and Bend began discussing an oversaturation of breweries. It has turned out that the market can and does support the continual addition of new breweries and probably will for some time into the future, if we handle ourselves right. However, like any fledgling industry, some craft brewers are having growing pains. New problems are cropping up to impede growth and change the sometimes lackadaisical approach to the industry that some startups have. First and foremost, being a craft brewer is fun, but it is also hard work. The industry is transitioning from one where all a startup brewer had to worry about was the quality of their beer to a more grown-up industry that requires the navigation of distributors, branding, lawsuits and lawyers. Bend paints a picture of a successful microcosm for this new frontier of beer. Bend is home to more breweries than anyone could imagine would exist in such a small city and has thus far avoided the pitfalls of a maturing industry. Beer was once such a staple to some cultures that a dinner table—or breakfast, for that matter— would not be set without a glass. So, while I believe no bubble is about to burst, there are inevitable growing pains. The first sign is an increasing number of legal battles over names and trademarks. Brewers are being forced to become more sophisticated in business and branding and, unfortunately, lawyers sometimes get involved. The next sign is a shrinking amount of shelf space at local supermarkets. Many stores can and will continue to expand the shelf space for craft beer, even if it requires eating into macro beers slots. Still, this can only go so far, and some brewers might find themselves left out, which is why I believe the brewpub model is the most sustainable. A brewpub is both a restaurant and a bar, and you cannot have too many of either of those. Like businesses in any industry, some will fail but many will succeed. Third, we need to stop fighting among ourselves about relatively irrelevant issues like what constitutes a “craft brewer” and what is a faux or “crafty” brewer, a la Molson-Coors-owned Blue Moon. The point is: who cares as Craft brewing’s success depends on how it matures as a whole. Will new brewers continue to walk into this industry with a chip on their shoulders ready to fight it out with the macrobrewers or each other, or will they do their best to represent the art form as compatriots and collaborators? The most successful craft brewers have come so far in large part because they didn’t concern themselves with what others were doing; they just wanted to enjoy good beer with friends. As Bay Area artist Tom Marioni says, “The highest form of art is drinking beer with friends.” Let’s keep that in mind and toast to another year of beer.

We do give credit to www. beeradvocate. co and www. freshops.com. For centuries, hops have been a beloved component of beer. They are a natural preservative, help to clear beer by acting as a natural filter, lend a hand in head retention, bring balance to sweet malts, and act as the primary contributor to flavor and aroma (phew!). Described as floral, herbal, spicy or citrus, hops are capable of imparting nearly any flavor — the “spice of beer.” More than 30 varietals of hops exist on an ever-growing list. This is a short list of some of the most common varieties used in Northwest brewing: CASCADE is a very popular U.S. variety with a moderate bitterness level and fragrant, flowery aroma. Cascade is often used in highly hopped West Coast ales that have a citrusfloral hop character. CENTENNIAL is described by some as a “Super Cascade,” but it’s not nearly as citrusy. This type can be used for aroma as well as bittering. Bitterness is quite clean and can have floral notes, depending on the boil time. CHINOOK is described as a pine forest washed with exotic spice and infused with grapefruit. Chinook hops offer an alluring aroma and a high bittering value. CITRA has made a quick impact on the worldwide beer scene. It’s a very fruity hop, specifically: citrus, peach, apricot, passionfruit, grapefruit, lime, melon, gooseberry, lychee fruit, pineapple, mango, papaya and other tropical fruit flavors and aromas. MOUNT HOOD is an aromatic variety derived from Hallertau with a refined, spicy aroma and clean bittering. “Clean” commonly describes it. A good choice for lagers. WILLAMETTE is the king of aroma hops in the U.S. with its modest bittering value and the joyous harmony of flowers, fruit, earth and spice. Willamette offers a quality aroma hop with a smooth, soft flavor.
