Episode 54 - Kolsch Korner

In Episode 54 we virtually travel to Koln, Germany to tackle the Kolsch style and discuss the style guidelines.  Learn about this “controlled substance” as we explore the history as well.  We finish off the style showcase with a tasting and we encourage you to participate in our listener tasting notes segment in this episode by picking up a bottle of the Ballast Point California Kolsch and tasting along with us.
