@KCBierCo is all set up at the Crawfish Festival at 55th and Woodson from 6 pm until 10 pm. Proceeds support the Foster Adopt Connect fosteradopt.org and @fosteradopt_org.
Once each year, I “help” brew a batch of Bier. Chad is milling/mashing in to start our annual Carolator Doppelbock Hell. It will be released on Ash Wednesday at end of Feb., with the Eisbock version, Koenig Eisbock, released just before Easter.
It’s 7:14 am and 37 soccer/Fussball fans are @KCBierCo watching GER/Japan World Cup match. I recommend Hefeweizen, the breakfast bier.
@KCBierCo is in Jeff City at the MO Craft Brewers Conference collaborating with 75 other MO brewers to promote local bier in the Show Me State. Think globally and drink locally.
At the Munich airport waiting to depart while enjoying the traditional Bayrisches Fruehstuck, or Bavarian Breakfast, which consists of Weisswurst with sweet mustard, pretzel, and Hefeweizen. @KCBierCo
@KCBierCo Head brewer Karlton and I got a private tour from our German malt producer #ireksmalz. Impressive facility (OMG is it spotless) and friendly helpful people.
@KCBierCo Head Brewer Karlton Graham selecting hops in the world famous Hallertau in Bavaria. Varieties rubbed to release their aroma included traditional noble varieties Hersbrucker, Mittelfrueh & newer aroma varieties Mandarina, Blanc, Callista, & Huell Melon.
4:00 pm Sunday in Munich at the Chinese Tower Biergarten in the city park. Are Bavarians the most avid day drinkers in the world. They get my vote. @KCBierCo
@KCBierCo A local hero in Dingolfing carrying at least 12 Masskruege of Bier. With glass and bier, that is at least 50 lbs! Well played. Prost!
@KCBierCo The Dingolfing festival in Bavaria has a Bier Merry-go-Round. And I thought simply drinking bier couldn’t get more fun..
@KCBierCo Head Brewer Karlton at Dingolfinger Kirta Volksfest doing research for the next @KCOktoberfest Prost!
Karlton & I enjoying traditional Belgian cuisine of mussels and beef cheek with bier from de la Senne with owner-brewer Yvan de Baets and Braumeister Eric Toft from Schoenram, Bavaria @KCBierCo
Visited Brewery Cantillon in Brussels, brewer of Lambic (sour, spontaneously fermented). Attic coolship where the wort is cooled while being inoculated from 100 wild yeast strains, 27 types of acetobacter, and 38 strains of lacto-bacteria. Many roads lead to good beer!@kcbierco
Heading to Germany to select hops but making a stop in Brussels. Left to right, Chimay Triple, Paranoia IPA from Huyghe, St. Bernardus Triple. Never thought much of Chimay, but fresh, it is very good. @KCBierCo

Gärtnerei hilft beim Hopfen | TV Bayern LIVE
Our hop farmer, Florian Seitz, is featured on Bavarian news. Because his regular seasonal workers from Poland cannot travel, a local florist is lending his staff to help look after Florian’s (& our) hops. tvbayernlive.de/mediathek/vi…
