DBTB Episode 129: Sam Tierney of Firestone Walker

 
I’m excited to have Sam Tierney on the show this week. He’s been running Firestone Walker’s Propagator in Los Angeles for the six years it’s been open and has unique insight on creating small batches that could one day be scaled, experimenting with ingredients, and finding the sweet spot for drinkers. 
 
He’s a passionate brewer who takes the role seriously and is constantly trying to find ways to improve upon techniques and processes. 
 
As the brewery location nears another anniversary he reflects on how hops have evolved in beer and what it takes to stay fresh but not lose sight of history and tradition.

The first stop of 2022 in our Lagers of the World series takes us to Akureyri, Iceland. Our conversations with Einstök Beer led us to brew a Jóla Bock, which is a popular Christmas beer that lives up to the exceptional Christmas spirit in the country. Of course we’re a little late for Christmas, but Bocks are still a wildly popular style this time of year and we can’t wait for you to try Destination: Iceland
