Yeast is so powerful that it can take sugar and turn it into alcohol. It could also make a few things explode! This week we sit down with Dash Masland of Oxbow Brewing Company and continue our series looking at the ingredients of beer; water, hops, malt and yeast. We will end this series making a batch of beer ourselves. When you sit down with a scientist you expect to have many things fly right over head but Dash Masland breaks everything down for us! We learn about Farmouse glassware, #BeerDNA and grisettes. We joined Dash at the Oxbow’s Portland Blending Bottling tasting room. We were surrounded with amazing graffiti and other forms of art including a piece by http://www.mwmgraphics.com. There were skateboards aplenty and the motion sensor lights kept going dark. We try two different beers this week; both of which were by Oxbow (http://oxbowbeer.com) We had Grizacca; an American grisette and Barrel Aged Farmhouse Pale Ale, Oxbow’s flagship beer that was barreled age with Bret. We learn about yeast and that Yarmouth Maine does have a sandpit. We find out the process in which Dash went through to make her #BeerDNA art. (Check it out: http://www.dashmasland.com/shop-beerdna/) Jen pines for skateboards, Jane discusses salt vinegar chips and Amanda admits she never went to a pit-party.
