Beer is just as intricate as wine to make. While the processes are different (you don't boil wine, or add anything to the grapes other than nutrients, salts, and additives) the way it ferments and ages is pretty much the same. And brewers borrow from wine makers by aging some of their beer in oak casks as well. This has given beer the added complexity that it never had before. But even the beer Anheuser Busch makes is difficult and complicated. It shows that even if it doesn't taste very good, beermaking is a very involved process. That's why - just like food - ingredients are the key to making good beer. Thank you for taking the time to listen, Afaf. Beer is just as intricate as wine to make.

Never knew how much work into “Beer Brewing” until we listened to your show! All the sudden I’m reading most beer labels, and very interested in trying different kinds. Thank you for sharing your amazing trip! Hi Phil!
