Episode #30: Brewing Craft Beer & Bringing People Together: Inside Aeronaut Brewery with Brewmaster, Mark Bowers

In this episode, we step inside Boston’s Aeronaut Brewing Co. with head brewer Mark Bowers for a behind-the-scenes look at how great craft beer comes to life.

Mark shares his journey from PhD chemist to brewmaster, and together we explore the artistry and science of brewing — from the evolution of IPAs and experimental recipes to the equipment, techniques, and philosophy (“brewed with curiosity and backed by science”) that fuel Aeronaut’s unique beers. As we sample our way through lagers, IPAs, seltzers, and sours, we uncover why beer has remained a cornerstone of human connection since colonial times.
