Episode 26: This Week in Rauchbier

If this episode of This Week in Rauchbier sounds a little different this week it is because we’re not at our normal smokey studio inside of Dovetail Brewing in Chicago. The Coronavirus has us all spread out and bunkered down. Hagan and Bill are off this week, rooting through their beer cellars no doubt looking for some ruby hued ashy delights.

But that’s not going to stop us from having a bang up of a show.

Bart Watson of the Brewers Association will be joining us to talk about the smoked beer stats we all look forward to each week.

A new writer by the name of Lew Bryson will tell us all about his books regarding whisky and how there are even some kinds that incorporate smoke flavor into their recipes.

And long time favorite guest and co-author of the world-wide best selling book Smoked Beers – Ray Daniels – will get on the phone with us for a reminder on the history and importance of rauchbiers.

But first, because so many people have been asking us to have him on as a guest to give his take on smoked beers, we decided a pandemic was the right time to do it. For this week’s “Why I love Rauchbier” Segment we invited noted beer villain and Twitter enthusiast Andrew Crouch, Esq. to record a radio essay.

Our thanks to Hagen and Bill for the inspiration to do this show. Hear the genesis on episode 5 of Drink Beer, Think Beer.
