Smoked Beers

Chris Davison and Bill Koeppen join us as we drink and discuss a variety of beer styles featuring smoked malts.  In the first half of the episode we sample homebrewed versions of the Polish Grodziskie and the German Lichtenhainer, as well as Bill's gold medal winning Smoked Helles. Then we shift our focus to the homeland of smoked beers, Bamberg, with three different Schlenkerla beers, the Marzen, Urbock, and Doppelbock. Along the way we discuss the history of these unusual styles, the flavors imparted by different woods, and offer up some tips for brewing these styles.
