On this week's episode, we sit down and look at more trademark disputes, interesting business moves and why social media is ruining beer before heading to the lab for secret experiments, the brewery for ingredient explorations and then into the lounge where Drew sits down with a couple of award winning home brewers - Derek Springer (aka Five Blades Brewing) of the Society of Barley Engineers and Nick Corona (aka 2016's AHA Homebrewer of the Year) of QUAFF. Find out what it means to homebrew in America's brewery mecca! And then of course we answer some questions before Drew leaves you with the nerdiest sports thing to nerd.

So what part about the NEIPA do you think will go away?  I know you always complain about the haze but what about the lower bitterness and hop forward fruity character, I see those attributes sticking around even if the beers get less hazy.  I personally do not mind some haze but ones that look like thanksgiving gravy do not entice me at all.

I expect to see both the extreme haze and low bitterness go away.  What I think will happen is that the fruitiness will migrate to "normal" IPA.  And altho0ugh I think the haze is ugly as hell, that's not really why it bothers me.  It's what it does to the flavor and mouthfeel that I don't care for.

Not all hazy beers have the mouthfeel of the TH ones I sent you, at least not in this coast.
