For Oregonians, it’s a great day. It’s Zwickelmania! That’s the annual backstage pass for beer fans to visit their favorite breweries and sample some beers — sometimes right off the fermenters.

We’ll be talking more about the significance of the zwickel (and explaining what it is for the uninitiated) as well as discussing how to brew kombucha and answering more beer and brewing questions with our homebrew guru Duke Geren of FH Steinbart‘s today on Beer O’Clock Radio.

Also in our virtual pub: a nice long chat with Widmer head brewer Ben Dobler, new brews with Carl Singmaster of Belmont Station and Ben Love brings us our Beer of the Week: Gigantic The End of Reason Petite Quad!

Listen in during your Zwickelmaniacking all across Oregon on the Radio Northwest Network, or join us worldwide right here.
