The story of beer is the story of the societies that brewed it. And there are a lot of these. People have been sitting down with friends to chat over a pint for the past 9,000 years. Each episode, brewer and scientist Nathan Vadeboncoeur brings you a new story about the people, places and social forces that make beer what it is today, and what it was in times past. There are long-form deep dives into the roots of different styles, interviews with brewers, scientists and beer historians, and shorter stories about new advancements in brewing and relatable anecdotes from long ago.

The Beer Frontier: How Oregon Helped Launch Craft Beer

Oregon has a reputation as the place for craft beer in North America. In this episode, guest Tiah Edmonson-Morton traces the development of the Oregon hops growing and brewing industries from their origins in 1850 to the present-day craft brewing movement. She also discusses stories from her upcoming book about woman brewers in Oregon during the frontier day's of the late 1800s.

Tiah Edmonson-Morton is an archivist, teacher and brewing history curator at Oregon State University. She is the manager of the Oregon Hops & Brewing Archives, develops instruction tools for brewing and beer history courses at OSU, and is a fantastic source of information on everything brewing. If you’re into the story of beer and the people who brewed it I think you’re really going to like this conversation.

She mentioned two books during the interview, Hoptopia by Peter Kopp and Hops by Kennith Helphand.
