80: Moksa Brewing’s Derek Gallanosa and Cory Meyer: Designing and Brewing Flavorful and Rich Ingredient-Forward Stouts

Derek Gallanosa doesn’t apologize for making ingredient-laden, flavor-forward beers that may send old school purists into fits—he’s focused on giving his customers rich experiences full of flavors they’re familiar with. In this episode recorded recently on the floor of the Craft Brewers Conference, Gallanosa and head brewer Cory Meyer discuss building base recipes to complement adjunct treatments, designing beers for barrel aging, how to maximize ingredient extraction through recirculation and other additions strategies, working with fellow respected brewery peers to mutually raise the profile of small breweries, and more.
