153 - Schlenkerla

In a very special episode of the podcast 6th generation owner and brewer, Matthias Trum joins us live from Bamburg Germany to bring us a tasting of his beers and a discussion of the brewery's amazing history and unique techniques.

This episode is best enjoyed with a tasting pack which can be ordered for home delivery from our online store: https://the-coolroom-podcast.myshopify.com/collections/schlenkerla

We hear the stories of what each generation brought to the brewery, including which of Matthias' ancestors appears on the label and a coolroom story that dates back to the 1970s.

With the help of Nathan from King River Brewing we get the lowdown on the malting and brewing techniques necessary to create these beers, both traditional and new innovations that reflect modern practices.

Oh... and we learn all about Bamburg onions...
