Join Rob and Andrew as they discuss their recent beer-related adventures. Rob shares his experience at Sierra Nevada's Celly Drippings event, where he also discusses the rituals around the preparation of Thanksgiving turkey and Christmas pudding, while Andrew recounts his trip to Willcox and Bisbee, Arizona. They also touch on upcoming events, including Pint Day and the Arizona Strong Beer Festival.
For Rob, the act of meticulously preparing a Thanksgiving turkey, including brining it in beer, represents a cultural tradition passed down through generations. Similarly, the intricate process of making Christmas pudding, with its specific ingredients and the tradition of "stirring Sunday," holds a special significance. These rituals not only preserve culinary traditions but also foster a sense of belonging and continuity within the community.
Rob's experience at the Sierra Nevada Celly Drippings event further reinforced his belief in the importance of rituals in the craft beer industry. The annual release of Celebration Fresh Hop IPA, a seasonal beer with a dedicated following, has become a tradition in itself. The limited availability and unique flavor profile of the beer create a sense of anticipation and excitement among beer enthusiasts. The Celly Drippings event, where attendees can sample a special variant of Celebration made from the drained "drippings" of the dry-hopping process, adds another layer to this ritual.
