AAB: 037: Ukrainian Golden Ale
Manage episode 394697356 series 3373950
The Ukrainian Golden ale is a newish beer style from the Donetsk region of Ukraine, a region you have heard about in the news. Its creator, Dmytro Nekrasov, fled his home to the capital of Kyiv and started brewing the golden ale there where it has become a popular addition to craft brewing. But what is the golden ale and what makes it special to Ukraine? How is beer tied to the location of where it is brewed?
We talk to Ukrainian beer sommelier Lana Svitankova about her mission to spread the style throughout the world and with Cameron Compton, who owns Chicago based Midwest Coast Brewing and who brews Ukrainian Golden ale at his brewery, which raises money for the war effort.
Guests:
Lana Svitankova is a Ukrainian beer author, translator, educator, avid traveller, and foodie, currently based in Zurich, Switzerland. Writing about beer is her way of sharing love and knowledge about the drink in her homeland, and letting the world discover the young Ukrainian beer scene. "Beer is for all" and "All styles are beautiful" are her catch-phrases. Being a Certified BJCP Judge, Certified Cicerone™, and Certified (AF)icionado™, she judges both homebrewing and commercial competitions of all sizes locally and around the world.
Cameron Compton is the founder, owner, and Head Brewer at Midwest Coast Brewing Company. Founded in 2019 in Chicago, Midwest Coast strives to create a great place for people to gather over classic beer styles. Cameron and his wife Suzie, who was born in Ukraine, were introduced to the Ukrainian Golden Ale project through Lana shortly *before* the war started in February 2022. Midwest Coast continues to brew its Ukrainian Golden Ale, Peremoha (meaning "victory"), to help raise money for the Ukrainian war relief effort. To date, the brewery has raised over $13,000 for a variety of organizations aimed at improving the lives of Ukrainians impacted by the war.
