Herr Trum is the 6th generation of Trums to brew this world renowned smoked beer and he has learned the business from malting to brewing and marketing to pairing. While he is in town, he will be visiting some Good Beer Seal Bars with Chef Wolfgang Thei

If you don’t have the opportunity to attend one of these dinners, fear not. You can tune in to Beer Sessions Radio tonight at 5:00 PM to hear all about Schlenkerla and the great German tradition it represents.
