Dunkel | Four Brewers Podcast

Episode 298 – This week, it’s all about American lager.

Subscribe to The Four Brewers Podcast:

This week on the show, it’s all about lager. At first you might think we’re referring simply to light American macro lagers, but no! Turns out, there’s a wonderfully diverse selection of American lagers out there, ranging from classic, clean, crisp, and refreshing lawnmower lager to dark, rich, and flavorful German Dunkels and everything in between (even for you hop heads out there).

Editor’s note: this last paragraph will just remain as-is for future posts until this lockdown is over.

We hope you’re safe. We know this sucks right now. We miss our friends and family, socializing, and even going for a run without having to wear a mask, but this is temporary and staying at home as much as possible, while also keeping our distance from others in public, is something we must all do. That being said, we live in a great time in history where we have a robust internet that allows us all to stay in contact, see each other’s faces, and even get together once a week for a virtual happy hour.

We’ll be recording episodes once a week from here out, which is actually pretty cool for those who normally can’t make it to our typical monthly recording sessions. We’ll be having guests on the show, trying new beers, and continuing to keep doing our thing the best we can. Thanks for sticking with us. We’ll get through this.

Now, on with the show!

BREW THE SHIT OUT OF IT.
WASH YOUR HANDS.
WEAR A MASK.
DON’T BE AN ASSHOLE.

Season 4, Episode 30 – This week, 4B listener Nick Krenz makes our Prost dreams come true.

The time has finally come. We’re finally here, all thanks to Four Brewers listener Nick Krenz. This week, we finally have Prost Brewing beers on the show. What a glorious day!

Ok, that was a tad hyperbolic. But, we are extremely excited to finally have some of the best German-style beers made in America on the show, from none other than Prost Brewing out of Denver, Colorado.

As we mentioned, the beers this week were provided to us by 4B listener Nick Krenz. After he heard us gushing about Prost and wishing that we could get our hands on their beers, Nick emailed us and offered to send some of their beers our way. Nick didn’t disappoint, either…

We can’t recommend Prost Brewing enough. If they’re available in your local market or if you’re ever in the Denver area, do yourself a favor and stop in for a litre or two…or, three…
