“Still to this day I would like to someday make the iconic beer,” says Shane Johns, brewmaster at E9 Brewing. “I think that any brewer that doesn’t want to say that they don’t want to make the iconic beer is lying to themselves.”
The Grit and Grain podcast presents part deux of our interview with Shane Johns, the brewmaster at E9 Brewing who went from a chef to making world-class mixed culture beers straight outta Tacoma. Hear about his travels to Belgian breweries, his thoughts on today’s beer industry, and the wacky adventures he had brewing with Grit and Grain’s own Sean Jackson — including hot tub brew tanks and fun with chemistry.

All you need really is to take a step or two toward what you think you’d like to be doing and the world tilts ever so slightly and time adapts and Fate blinks once or twice and adjusts its Underberg belt and says well OK then let’s see what we have here and then maybe you find out or maybe you don’t but at least you tried and at least you know you can try again because in the end what else is there really except maybe the Grit and Grain podcast. If this podcast is not what you expected, please alter your expectations. Breathe like you mean it. No such thing as a bad time to visit Tacoma. No such thing as too much barleywine. Tune in next Friday for more sweet chatter! Cheers!
