OL-013 Claire Bullen Reads, "The Land of Fire and Kveik — Farmhouse Brewing at the Crossroads in Voss, Norway"

This is GBH Out Loud, and I’m Ashley Rodriguez.

Today you’ll hear Claire Bullen read her story, “The Land of Fire and Kveik — Farmhouse Brewing at the Crossroads in Voss, Norway,” published on Good Beer Hunting’s website on September 30, 2020.

This is Claire’s second deep dive on kveik, the renowned farmhouse yeast family that originated in Western Norway. Claire’s first piece, “A Fire Being Kindled — The Revolutionary Story of Kveik, Norway’s Extraordinary Farmhouse Yeast,” which you can also hear her read out loud, is a technical exploration, uncovering the transformative power and heritage of kveik. In the story you’re about to hear, Claire actually travels to Voss, Western Norway to see kveik in action, and to experience first-hand just how important the tradition of farmhouse brewing is to the region.

Here’s Claire reading, “The Land of Fire and Kveik — Farmhouse Brewing at the Crossroads in Voss, Norway.” Listen in.
