Continuing our night of beer based conversations, the PBN Crew samples some fairly extreme beers with a man who knows what all that means.  Join along as we sample the sour side of Belgian beer.

If you are wanting to follow along this time, I fear that'd be a tall order.
- Russian River Temptation
- Boone Aude Kriek
- Hansens Aude Kriek
- 1994 Lidemans Cuvee Rene
- Cantillon Organic Gueze

Yeah, these were 'special' beers that you should pick up if ever you have the chance.

Again, thank you to Martin for allowing us to learn at your table.

Pictures can be seen on the blog page.

Martin Lodahl has been there, done that - literally.  He's seen the world of beer first hand, has been involved since the inception of the American craft beer movement and was a pioneer in BJCP development.  Along with being a well-respected writer, Martin was on the first team of BJCP style developers, has sat on the BJCP board and has helped to organize two AHA National Homebrew Competitions.  Within the world of beer there are two areas Martin is most known for his works in Pre-Prohibition beers, Steam Beers (related to Pre-Prohibition) and Belgian Beers.  We have been building up a good collection of rare Belgian beers and finally found a way to entice Martin to sit with us - the combintation of Hansens Kriek and Cantillong Gueze.

If you love beer, really love beer, this show is for you.  Martin is a wonderful story teller and his decades of experience make him one of the most impressive beer geeks we have ever met.  We think you'll agree.  So, sit back and enjoy this, the first of two shows focusing on Belgian (and Belgian inspired) beers with a true authority in the area.  And make sure to come back next week as we continue the conversation while moving into sour beers.

PBN does wish to pass on a major sense of gratitude for Martin - he was one of our BJCP instructors and speaks regularly in our region in rooms that are often standing room only.  We appreciate his willingness to sit with us and pass on his knowledge for all of us to enjoy.  Thank you Martin.

The day arrived, after months of eager anticipation, Brian Ford and his group opened the Gold Country's newest brewery... Auburn Ale House.  Mike, Rick and Mark were simply blessed to sit outdoors on a beautiful day with the owner/head brewer, Brian Ford, who was more than generous with his time with us.  The show runs a bit long and a bit hot with the audio, but it was a live gig and I just couldn't stomache the idea of cutting anything more off the show.

Opening & closing music is James McMurtry.
Interlude music is by Mike Knott.

Let us know what you think, and make sure you check out AAH next time you're in the region.
