There’s a lot left to decide about the downtown Hays location for Defiance Brewing Co., but one thing is for sure, all the brewing will be done in barrels, say two of the owners.
“
Pediococcus lactobacillus,” explained Matt Bender, saying the scientific name without a stumble.
Bender on Wednesday was describing the new barrel fermentation program the popular Hays micro-brewery will use at its new downtown location, the former Gutch’s Bar & Grill, 111 W. 7th.
“People just loosely call them fermentation bugs,” said Bender.
That’s where barrels previously used to ferment wine, whiskey, tequila and other spirits are repurposed to ferment a barrel-aged beer, added Dylan Sultzer, also a Defiance owner.
