Episode 111 - Simple Things Fermentations - Phil Sisson
Loading
/

In this episode of The Hop Addition Podcast, we’re joined by Phil Sisson, founder of Simple Things Fermentations, a brewery dedicated to producing beautifully balanced, small-batch beers with character. Phil shares his brewing journey, the ethos behind Simple Things, and his approach to creating flavourful, unpretentious beers that celebrate traditional styles with a modern twist.

We also enjoy a tasting session, exploring four of his expertly crafted brews:

🍺 Czech Pilsner – A traditional pilsner made with Saaz and Bohemian Pilsner Malt
🍺 Pale Ale – A sessionable brew packed with modern European varieties
🍺 American Pale Ale – A hop-forward APA with Simcoe, Cashmere and Calypso
🍺 Smoked Rye Porter – Rich, smoky, and deeply complex porter with Rye and Beech smoked malt

If you love quality craft beer, brewing philosophy, and a great chat, this episode is not to be missed. Grab a drink and join us! 🎙🍻
