Sure, I’d love to take a trip to Britain, find a pub and settle into an old wooden chair with a pint of real ale in my hand. But if you end up on the American West coast, specifically in Central Oregon, that same UK experience is waiting for you. My next guests are keeping up with traditional ale, and are here to remind us why it matters.
I understand consumers don’t want what’s old. We want the new and we want it now. Cask ale might seem a thing of the past, but it ought to be a thing of the future. It may be something our grandmothers and grandfathers drank, but frankly, I think granny and gramps were on to something.
A memorable experience is found where craft and culture collide. These are the stories of us, of great food and the beer that brings it all together.
For the Craft and Culture of Beer, this is episode 123 of Good Beer Matters with Deven and Avara Roberts of Porter Brewing.
