This week on Beer Sessions an unprecedented combination of Jimmy, Sam, and Ray had a fascinating discussion with Matthias Trum and Matthias Neidhart of Aecht Schlenkerla about German beer. Don't miss this chance to learn about how beer fits into German culture (perhaps a bit better than in America), how the German Purity Law limits or inspires German brewers, and the 6 generation, 500+ year tradition of Aecht Schlenkerla and "smoked" brewing. This episode was sponsored by Great Brewers.com: a favorite source for beer information and education and one of the internet's most popular beer destinations.
