#homebrewing #homebrewers #craftbeer #beer #brewing #craftbrew #kolsch #webcast #show

Ok. So, this week isn’t an official episode because I’m trying something different. We’re replaying one of our popular interviews from 4’ish years ago with the head brewer over at Founders Brewing, Mr. Jeremy Kosmicki. WOW, time flies! One of the main reasons I’m doing a replay this week is because I’ve had breakfast stout on my brain lately. We’re offering it to recipe receiving tiers of our Patreon.com/HomebrewHappyHour Trub Club members, my Pop and I are brewing it for our YouTube.com/HomebrewHappyHour #BrewDay LIVE next week (Friday, September 26th @ 10am central), and the weather is about to get cooler so I’ll be shifting from just kolsch consumption to kolsch AND breakfast stout consumption. It truly is the most wonderful time of the year coming up!

Below is a ton of breakfast stout content we’ve done for your additional entertainment:

RECIPE RECAP (from 5 years ago!): https://youtu.be/sk0zusxYBH8?si=fQTFQeYni2EMQ24c
