Episode 212 - German-Style Chicago Reboot

Four years ago, no one wanted to hear us drink German styles coming out of Chicago. Now that more local breweries are paying homage to the biers from Deutschland, we reboot the concept with a grittier lineup and go for that hard PG-13 rating. We dive into these styles by reading from a few dusty tomes, and those that are excited by the word "decoction" should take notice. We also plan for our messy divorce, sing a bad song, author some bock beer puns, call for beer copulation, and feel unnatural things about bacon. (And thanks to our first-ever actual sponsor, Beer on the Wall, for providing the doppelbock.)   Beers Reviewed Baderbräu - Five Star Lager (Helles Lager) Piece Brewery & Pizzeria - Dark-N-Curvy (Dunkelweizen) Great Central Brewing Company - Weizenbock Dovetail Brewery - Rauchbier Tighthead Brewing Company - Reformator (Doppelbock)
