*** BOISE BREW MINUTE ***
Boise Brew Minute (episode 72) - Jake at The Ram talks about SMaSH ales, beers brewed with only a Single Malt and Single Hop. We discuss how this highlights individual ingredients and it also creates a challenge for brewers. The latest SMaSH he brewed is an all Idaho ale called the Bridge Smasher IPA in honor of the demolition of the Broadway Bridge happening just outside their doors.

Boise Brew Minute (episode 73) - We talk with Bob at Slanted Rock in Meridian about their new approach to making fruit beers. Rather than add fruit with the possibility of contamination, he's working with a new local company that produces dehydrated fruit dust which is sterile and still contains the flavor and nutrients of the fruit. He's used the dry peach powder to make their Peach JalapeƱo Pale Ale.
