This week we sat down to chat with Green Beacon’s Johann van der Walt to talk about using experimental hops and got much more that expected from a brewer who has proved to be a reluctant podcast guest in the past.

You will hear a brewer talking effusively and passionately about his background, how he got into brewing, his progression to become head brewer at Green Beacon and his approach to crafting a beer… and also to making beers with experimental hops.
