Like Germans on psychedelics
Quote of the week (at least), from Michael Bowe, who brews at Angel City Brewing in California:
“The Germans make great beer. The Belgians are like Germans on psychedelics — they do all sorts of crazy things.”
Read the whole story in the Los Angeles Times.
A quick disclaimer. Brew Like a Monk (blush) gets a mention in the story:
Bowe tells the young man that he already has a brewing sugar he likes, so it’s no sale. Nevertheless, the two go ahead and indulge in 10 minutes’ worth of eager beer talk about the ins and outs of brewing sugar. It turns out they’re both fans of a book on Belgian Trappist-style ales titled “Brew Like a Monk.”
The brewing sugar - really a dark syrup imported directly from Belgium - will soon be available to American brewers, both professional and amateur. I should have details soon.
