It’s an extra special double header! We are joined this week by our best buddy and legendary hop sniffer, Rikki Welz from the world-renowned Haas Farms, and we are so happy to welcome Brian Estes, the man behind LINC Malt‘s specialty grain program. The teams these two people help to lead at their respective operations are responsible for some of the most sought-after ingredients used in beer today.
Tune in for part 1, where we dig into some of the details in specialty malt and hop breeding, how Haas and LINC approach the industry in unique ways, and we even get to smell a few very special hop varietals and blends.
