In this episode of Beer Talk, Markus travels back to Belgium and visits one of the country’s most distinctive and authentic farmhouse breweries: Hof ten Dormaal. Together with Dries Janssens, he explores a brewing world where farming and beer are still deeply connected. What began as a practical idea to make the family farm economically viable has grown into a remarkable brewery built on self-sufficiency, craftsmanship, and a strong sense of place.
Dries talks about growing his own barley, wheat, spelt, rye, and hops, running a small malt house on the farm, keeping cattle, and brewing beers that reflect both Belgian tradition and his own independent spirit. The conversation moves from crisp, expressive saisons and dry-hopped blondes to old-style witbier, chicory-infused tripel, and the fascinating world of lambic and blending. It is a story about beer, agriculture, resilience, and the beauty of doing things the hard but meaningful way. A thoughtful and inspiring episode about a brewery where the farm is not just the backdrop, but the heart of everything.
In dieser Folge von Biertalk geht es nach Langenzenn in Mittelfranken, wo Markus ein ganz besonderes Kleinod der fränkischen Bierkultur entdeckt: das Lahma-Bräu. Hinter dem charmanten Namen steckt nicht nur ein schöner fränkischer Sprachwitz, sondern auch ein außergewöhnlicher Verein, der sich mit viel Herzblut der Pflege und Wiederbelebung der lokalen Hausbrauertradition verschrieben hat. Zu Gast ist Wolfgang Marschall, der erzählt, wie aus einem Volkshochschulkurs, ein paar Brauversuchen im Waschkessel und viel Begeisterung ein lebendiger Treffpunkt für Bierfreunde geworden ist.
Im Gespräch geht es um die Geschichte des alten Milchhauses, das heute die Heimat des Vereins ist, um die Entwicklung von den ersten improvisierten Suden bis zur eigenen 5-Hektoliter-Anlage und um das besondere Gemeinschaftsgefühl, das hier rund ums Brauen entstanden ist. Wolfgang berichtet außerdem von der Auszeichnung mit der Goldenen BierIdee, vom traditionellen Brauen im historischen Brauhaus im Fränkischen Freilandmuseum Bad Windsheim und von der Freude, Bierkultur nicht nur zu bewahren, sondern ganz konkret zu leben. Eine wunderbar fränkische Folge über Ehrenamt, Leidenschaft, Brauereigeschichte und die große Kunst, aus einem kleinen Ort einen echten Mittelpunkt der Bierkultur zu machen.
In this episode of Beer Talk, I sit down with the wonderful Em Sauter, longtime friend, beer judge, illustrator, and the creative mind behind Pints and Panels. It’s a conversation I enjoyed immensely — not least because, somewhere along the way, I seem to receive my very first declaration of love in a podcast. That alone makes this episode one for the books.
But beyond that unexpected highlight, we talk about Em’s fascinating journey of bringing together two great passions: drawing and beer. We explore how she went from cartoonist to one of the most recognizable visual educators in the beer world, and why illustration can sometimes explain beer better than a thousand technical words ever could.
Along the way, we wander through stories about baseball, travel, beer judging, the international beer community, and the many ways beer culture changes from country to country while still connecting people everywhere. And because Em never stands still creatively, we also talk about her growing interest in wine, cocktails, and whisky, and how Pints and Panels is evolving beyond beer.
It’s a warm, funny, and very personal episode about creativity, curiosity, and the joy of finding your own voice — with a few laughs, a lot of heart, and at least one memorable podcast first.
In dieser Folge von Biertalk geht es am Tag des Bieres ausnahmsweise nicht nur um Tradition, sondern ganz bewusst um die Zukunft. Zu Gast ist Dr. Mark Schneeberger von Eatbeer Biotech in Stralsund, der gemeinsam mit seinem Team an einer Idee arbeitet, die für die Braubranche enormes Potenzial haben könnte: Aus Biertreber, also dem Reststoff aus dem Brauprozess, soll durch Fermentation mit Pilzmyzel ein neuer, hochwertiger Lebensmittelrohstoff entstehen.
Wir sprechen darüber, wie aus einer klassischen Brauerei-Nebenströmung plötzlich ein möglicher Wertstoff wird, warum Brauereien lernen müssen, nicht nur in den Rückspiegel zu schauen, und welche Chancen in Themen wie Kreislaufwirtschaft, Fleischalternativen, Fermentation und sogar KI stecken. Es geht um Visionen, um technische Herausforderungen, um neue Geschäftsmodelle für Brauereien – und um die spannende Frage, ob auf dem Grill der Zukunft vielleicht nicht nur Bratwurst, sondern auch „Bier zum Essen“ liegt. Eine Folge über Innovation, Mut und die Lust, Bier einmal ganz anders zu denken.
In this episode I travel to Belgium, just outside Leuven, to visit one of the most charming hidden gems I have come across in a long time: Man & Brouw. There, quite literally in a shipping container at the back of a garden, Sibren and his friend Tom have built a tiny brewery with huge imagination. What started as homebrewing and a bit of pandemic-era restlessness turned into a wonderfully creative project where every batch is a new idea, every beer tells its own story, and engineering meets brewing in the best possible way. We talk about how the brewery came to life, why there was never really a masterplan, and how Sibren and Tom developed their very personal style: small-scale, experimental, playful and uncompromising. Their beers range from a delicate chamomile grisette to cider-saison hybrids, hop-accented sour beers, pepper-driven creations, a black session IPA and even a freeze-distilled stout-like specialty. Along the way, Sibren explains how they test herbs, spices and peppers like scientists, why they prefer to keep the batches small, and how growing hops, mint and other ingredients in the garden helps shape the identity of the beers. It is a conversation about curiosity, friendship and the freedom that comes with staying small. We also touch on Leuven’s inspiring beer scene, the support between local brewers, and the challenge of finding the right places for such unusual beers. Above all, this episode shows that some of the most exciting brewing ideas do not come from huge brewhouses, but from passionate people who dare to experiment. A lovely and flavorful talk about hidden places, big creativity and beers that stay in your memory long after the glass is empty.
