International Brewing Issue

For the March/April 2020 The New Brewer, we present our International Brewing issue. In this issue, we examine the future of German noble hops with regard to climate change and consumer preference; provide an analysis/travelogue of the craft beer scene in Brazil from frequent visitor Pete Slosberg; and include technical tips on brewing with Norwegian kveik yeast from Brewers Publications author Lars Marius Garshol. In addition, this issue explores the growing culture of non-alcohol beer—from the “sober curious” movement to a shift toward healthier lifestyles—as well as the various methods to brew it. Note: this issue went to press before the cancellation of the Craft Brewers Conference® and World Beer Cup®. We hope your future travels will take you to San Antonio so you can follow our insider’s guide to the craft beer scene in the Alamo City.

A Note From the Editor

Jill Redding, Editor-in-Chief

This issue also includes our usual informative departments, plus brewery-generated news about the craft brewing community in the Brewery Updates, Distribution News, and Beer Releases sections; and new products and services from the allied trade in Industry Supplier News. In our back-page interview, we highlight Stephen Kirby, an Englishman whose search for a “proper pint” in the U.S. led him to open Hogshead 54 Brewery in Denver.

Cheers, and we hope you enjoy this issue of The New Brewer.
