Few of us wear just one hat, as they say. You might be busy working your 9-to-5 during the day, but focus on being a good romantic partner during your time off. You're a different person when you're unwinding with friends at the pub versus when you're presenting a concept or project in front of your peers and colleagues. These shifts of identity happen multiple times a day, and intersect in unexpected ways.Asa Stone is used to wearing a lot of hats. An educator and Advanced Cicerone from Albuquerque, New Mexico, she explores the spaces where psychology, sociology, and history overlap, all within the context of the beverage industry. From that unique place, she seeks ways in which beer can be used to shine a light on issues of education, social justice, and environmental impact.On today's episode, Asa tells us about her experiences working alongside brewing legends such as Jean Van Roy from Brasserie Cantillon to research how climate change effects Lambic production. She also discusses the role she feels beer can take in promoting positive social change, as well as the importance of science literacy, and how—for her—none of these topics are totally separate from each other.

The AltBrau Podcast, part of the Good Beer Hunting network, is where we talk to the outliers in beer—the people whose work and passions might indicate a more interesting future. Host Tim Decker is a wild ale producer himself, so this is also his journey, chronicling the people and places that make us think differently about what we do.
