The Session is back in action this week, as the Brewcasters prepare to delve into the Alabama craft beer scene. Brewmaster Craig Shaw of Birmingham's Avondale Brewing Company will join the show to tell us his story of building and running a craft brewery in a state that enforces some of the most restrictive bottling and distribution laws in the nation. He will be followed by Representative Joe Hubbard, a Democrat from Montgomery who has been a colorful presence in the discussions from the floor of the State Legislature during their debates over various beer and homebrewing bills. As always, you can watch it all live on the studio-cams at justin.tv/brewingnetwork.

In this episode of Can You Brew It, Jamil and Tasty attempt to clone Citra Double IPA from Kern River Brewing Company in Kernville, CA. This wonderful craft beer took gold at the Great American Beer Festival in 2011 and has racked up many other awards as one of the best double IPA's on earth. Tune in and find out if Tasty was able to homebrew this hop monster of a beer.

Jamil and John answer more of your listener questions in another Q and A session of Brew Strong. They take listener questions from the chat room and email to open the lines of communication and let all beer topics fly to get your homebrew and craft beer related questions answered.

On this episode of The Home Brewed Chef, Sean Z. Paxton gives some great and unique ideas of food and beer to bring to your Super Bowl party. Learn about beer nachos, chili, dips and more!
