Meet the Brewer: Jake & the Coffee Lager
Made by our lead brewer Jake, This recipe is a personal homage to one of the key beers that ignited my love for craft beer. The beer was a coffee lager, aptly named “Coffee Lager,”. After reaching out to the head brewer there Chris Meadows, who helped me immensely during my craft beer infancy, I was given the green light to brew it and some good insight on the original recipe. From there the White Labs Coffee Lager was born.

Inside The Test Kitchen: Fermenting Hot Sauce with R&D Chef Bert
The natural evolution of flavors and stability of the ingredients, coming up in the intense culinary side of things, the science wasn’t really explained too much or understood, and that bothered me. I’d go home and research the how and why, fermentation was a big part of that. Food fermentation is a beautiful example of transformation and it’s not only a food enhancement, it’s a timeless means of preservation and to me that is truly remarkable.
It’s Alive!!
