Chris and Ashley recently went to Germany to brew a bier for our pubs with Benediktiner and the rest of the Prost! family. What’s it like to drink bier with monks, sing American songs with Germans in small pubs, and attempt to cross a scary-ass suspension bridge in Austria? Well, you’ll have to take a listen to find out!
Chris and Ashley cover Chris' time at his alma matter, Cal Poly. We've talked about this before, but we're really diving into the university's motto, "learn by doing." We've all observed something or someone to "learn by doing," but we really talk about all the advances and hurdles we've overcome as we learned a trade BY DOING, rather than going to school to learn how to do something. Take a listen. You'll see what we mean. Prost!
Carrie joins Chris and Ashley as they break down the history behind doppelbock, which Paulaner Brauerei pioneered back in the 1600s. The monks at the monastery needed sustenance during Lent, when they were fasting…. Needless to say, we hypothesize what they must’ve gotten up to while getting plastered on strong bier. We also learn a whole lot about Carrie’s past and history leading her to where she’s at now and how our relationship came to be!
Ryan joins Chris and Ashley as they talk about and reminisce about display (or open) kitchens. Chris' dreams came true when he hired Ryan almost 20 years ago to be the pretty face behind the curtain... errr... in this case, there was no curtain. Feierabend was an open kitchen and we cover all the pros and cons and funny stories along the way.
Chris drinks a lot of Bitburger. He knows what it tastes like with his eyes closed. Or does he? Follow along as Ashley and Chris talk about some pilsner history and different types of pilsners from all over the world. Ashley facilitates a blind tasting for Chris where he doesn’t know if he’s drinking Bitburger Pils, or some other pilsner curveballs from around the world. How well do you think he does? You’ll have to listen/watch to find out. It’s entertaining, to say the least. Prost!
