  • Summary

  • While Garrett Oliver of Brooklyn Brewery (https://brooklynbrewery.com) and Vinnie Cilurzo of Russian River (https://www.russianriverbrewing.com) need little introduction, the grain they’ve grown fond of brewing with—an African millet grain named fonio—may be unfamiliar to many brewers. In this episode, the two legends of brewing discuss the background of the grain and how and why they’ve used it in a series of new beers, produced for the Brewing for Impact (https://brooklynbrewery.com/news/brewing-for-impact-russian-river/) project. Along the way, Oliver and Cilurzo touch on: the limiting impact of our western industrialized food system the history and nature of fonio grain farming and climate benefits of fonio using fonio as a brewing component at various percentages fonio’s unusual amino acid-like bitterness the impact on FAN in finished beer and its implications for potential stability and longevity a basic step mash regimen for Belgian pale with fonio the sauvignon blanc-like flavors that fonio can produce nearly clear beer made from 100% fonio And more.
