Technical Aspects: The conversation covers brewing techniques, such as using adjuncts like corn grits and rice, the development of quality assurance departments, and innovative processes like Stein beer using heated stones. It also mentions the use of specific equipment and the evolution of beer styles, including lagers and IPAs. Industry Evolution: The speakers discuss the decline of regional breweries, the rise of craft beer, and the shift toward milder, traditional styles.
