“Underneath the Marcellus shale here there are huge reserves of gas that need to be developed. The basic issue that we’ve got with it is not that you shouldn’t develop it, but right now the technology pollutes the water… You can’t make world-class beer with polluted water.” — Simon Thorpe on Beer Sessions Radio

Candice Santaferraro calls in from Frogs Leap Farm and Winery to discuss some of the homemade mead that shes been fermenting. Finally, Jimmy and the rest talk about cult beers, and whether theyre really worth the hunt. This episode has been brought to you by GreatBrewers.com. Its also interesting because acidity plays such a role [in sour beer], and of course in wine acidity plays a role. It sets it up for some nice pairings that are reminiscent of what wine can do. -- Jen by Beer Sessions Radio (TM)
