Ryan Jackle
Head Brewer & “Producer of Liquid Happiness”
Wise Man Brewing (Winston-Salem, NC)
Aromas recall a hike through higher elevations, marked by the distinguishing scent of eastern hemlock and wild herbs in complement. Tangerine and tropical fruit mark the palate thanks to heaps of Loral, Citra, and Sabro hops, with a cooling mint presence to bookend a smooth sipper.
Named in collaboration with Z. Smith Reynolds Library at Wake Forest University, this hazy IPA recalls one of Zachary Smith Reynolds' flight logs recorded during his flight from Nakon Panom to Nape, French Indochina, where he experienced "high clouds and haze."
ABV: 6.3%

Show Overview & Format
The Beer Connoisseur, in partnership with Tavour, promotes up to five highly rated and sought-after beers each week that are available for purchase on the Tavour app.
The Beer Connoisseur encourages its Beer Buyers Club members to purchase these beers via the app and then bring the beers to BC’s Livestream Happy Hour the following Friday.
BJCP-certified beer & mead judge and certified Cicerone® Doug Piper moderates the happy hour, in which the featured breweries and beers are discussed along with guided tastings from the brewers.
This unique event allows BC’s beer club members to taste and discuss these hard-to-find beers with fellow beer connoisseurs and engage in an in-depth Q&A with the brewers themselves.
The audio of the livestream event is then converted into a podcast so that beer club members that could not attend the livestream, along with BC’s general audience, may enjoy the discussion and insights shared among the brewers and attendees.
