In this episode, we meet Crux Fermentation Project’s head brewer, Ryan Atagi. While Japanese lagers (or rice lagers) are gaining steam, Atagi’s Japanese heritage brings something extra to Crux’s Bochi Bochi lager and an array of other beers including a new dark Japanese lager he created in conjunction with OSU called OSSU.
