    There have been some noticeable trends in craft beer throughout the region this year. 

    Call them gimmicky, call them too sour, too bold or too light …  and call some pure alchemy.

    Ardmore brewers Jean Broillet and Julie Foster of Tired Hands Brewing Company and Tired Hands Fermentaria hop to it on their second visit to the WHYY studios to explain the various blooms in the beer garden.

    From India pale ales to old reliable Pilsners to the latest cinnamon-infused brew, they break it down for Morning Edition host Jennifer Lynn.
