Jon Dieter just won Gold at this year's National Homebrew Competition for his hazy IPA "XXM: Double Extra Medium" - and in this episode, Jon talks about his process of making hazy beers for competition, for himself, and how he juggles the two. He's got some sweet insight on making these IPAs stand out and how to make the brews that you want. His curiosity is unmatched, and that's led to making really good beer...especially in this category.

Episode 28: Why I Love Homebrewing and Think You Should Too
Please take the survey here: Where Are You In Your Homebrewing Journey? (https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/3DYYZ79)
This episode goes into a couple of reasons I love homebrewing. Yes, it is a creative and fun outlet for many (myself included!) to experiment with weird and different flavors; but I also like a few other aspects as well. I think beer is an under-appreciated beverage. Many people think that it's either a tasteless, classless beverage brewed with syrups of a manufacturer's choice or an over-flavored, bitter, snobby craft drink. And while those can be true, I think that intention of beer really is to be a flavorful, drinkable, sociable, and inclusive alcoholic beverage that brings all people together. I want to help people get to that point of making amazingly delicious, fresh, and highly assimilating drinks that people enjoy and have fun with.
I may break my legs coming down from my soapbox...
