Show notes

Every bottle of Budweiser or Heineken is made to taste the exact same wherever you’re drinking around the world…and that gets boring. Cue, Craft Beer & Craft Breweries — smaller breweries that are popping up everywhere and making refreshing new twists to the world’s most widely consumed alcohol. Think pepper infused beers, or yam beer! They may seem new or even outlandish, but craft beers borrow from beer's beginnings — a pre-industrial time when people made beer from ingredients found in their houses, like bananas, rice, and corn. On this episode, we stop by Igbadun Brewing, a microbrewery in Lagos that’s following the cue of brewers in countries like Japan & the US, and bringing local flavours back to beer. We also speak with Jon Bazie of Tioga-Sequoia, a craft brewery making cool beers in sunny California. It’s all about bringing local flavours back to beer this episode. Enjoy!
