Welcome to the second episode of Into the Wild\\u2014part of our six-city tour across the U.S. with New Belgium Brewing this year.\\xa0

This episode comes out of our experiences in the Bay Area, San Francisco and the East Bay, where we partnered with a few restaurants, bars, and special people therein to produce some of the best and most unique experiences I\\u2019ve ever had around food and beverages. And that\\u2019s the whole idea here\\u2014to put wild and sour beer into a context that\\u2019s either entirely unprecedented or, if it\\u2019s familiar (like a beer dinner), to take it to a level that\\u2019s rarely seen.\\xa0

First, you\\u2019ll hear from New Belgium\\u2019s Lauren Limbach, who brings people together at City Beer Store in San Francisco for a sensory tasting\\u2014which we jokingly called a \\u201csensory deprivation tasting\\u201d\\u2014because her goal was to expose how much precondition we bring to every sip we take.\\xa0

In this podcast, we follow Lauren and other folks we met along the way, chronicling our weekend of eating, drinking, and learning. But first, I wanted to let you know about our next stop in Austin, Texas on August 14th through 16th, which will feature a fermentation-forward dinner, beer, and art experience at The Brewer\\u2019s Table called Sacred & Profane with Jason White (who\\u2019s formerly of the Noma Fermentation Lab in Copenhagen). Then we\\u2019re heading over to the Brew & Brew for a dance party with Wild Ale, so if you\\u2019re more interested in the fun side of things, that\\u2019s certainly for you. Finally, we\\u2019re bringing Wild Ale to the people with a food truck dinner at Draft House. It\\u2019s three days and three entirely unique events in Austin, and if you\\u2019re in the area or want to be, we hope you join us for that leg of the tour.\\xa0

This is Good Beer Hunting\\u2019s Into the Wild podcast. Listen in.
