This week on Beer Sessions Radio™, host Jimmy Cabone takes a “three-hour tour” (okay, only 50 minutes) with a line-up that leads him to boast of having his “best beer night ever.” We cross Europe with four amazing brewers from Germany (Alexander Reiss of Kloster Andechs and Sebastian Sauer of Freigeist), Belgium (Lionel Van De Haegen from Brasserie de Silly), and Czech Republic (Jan Skala from Kout na Sumave). These remarkable guests are joined by Jen Schwertman for a bit of an impromptu going away party (bon voyage, Jen!) with Joel Shelton chiming in on the Festival, which brought these brewers to the States.
Hear how these brewers are continuing hundred-year-old traditions, and updating them with their unique eye for history and dedication (full episode – 169 here). Learn how Kout (pronouced “Coat”) was refounded (from 1736!) in native Czech, and discover how “passion meets quality” among these European brewers. Plus, what makes a great dopplebock, and more!
