Speaking of something else,
that's the best. Here,
take the pumpkin and crash it over my head.
I'm just gonna leave now.
When Marian will Kemper started
Thomas Kemper brewery back in 1984.
This is the worst show ever, Kim.
They had no idea how far the
world of craft beer would go.
They traveled the world,
refining their craft and sharing
techniques before opening.
Chuckanut Brewery considered
the grandparents of craft beer.
They stopped by for a taste test
with our own Terry Holliman.
Terry saved me.
It's a beautiful day out here on the
Plaza and I'm with Marie and will
Kemper and I gotta tell you guys.
I'm so excited to taste some of these
beers but you guys got started back in
1984 and I imagine the world of craft beer
was a little bit different than Marie.
What was it like?
Yeah it was really different.
I mean there were only maybe 26 to
30 breweries in the United States
that were called micro breweries and
we were one of them and there were
five others here in the Northwest.
So we were the hub.
Of craft brewing in America at that time,
you guys were the godfathers
of it all, so to speak,
right? Exactly? Well, no, I know
it again. It was a lot different
back in the days when you pedal
your wares all over Seattle.
Yeah, what was it like for you back then?
I just was trying to do the best
I could and it is interesting
because it was such a new frontier and
so and so there wasn't a lot of support,
but we did rely upon Rainier
Brewing for a lot of assistance
for some of the technical issues
that we have. OK, what
we are now in 2021 and craft
beers all over the place?
You guys brought some good
stuff here for me to taste.
So what are we talking about here?
Man? What's going
on? Well, I think we'll what's
gonna talk about our coach.
So by the way this coach tell
me something about this,
so these are the one we're tasting
now is inhale. It is a nail, OK,
and it's do. Whether a nail or a logger,
it's solely due to the E string being
used are some characteristics that you
can't make lager beer with ale yeast.
However, this is kind of across a culture
that comes out of Cologne, Germany.
And if you're in Germany,
the only way you can make cultures to be
within 20 kilometres of downtown Cologne.
Also to make this style.
Elsewhere we refer to as a cold style Martin.
I just got back from the Great
American Beer Festival where in this
particular style there was over
180 beers and we were fortunate to
win the gold medal in the coach.
So fourth gold medal.
The culture is one of that category as
well as gold medal in the World Cup, right
when you're tasting there,
make sure you've got a good head.
You're looking at it because those
little tiny bubbles in there.
If you if you clear off your glass,
you'll see that tiny bubbles, right?
That is a big part of what
Cole should have. OK,
it doesn't have those tiny
bubbles. You're not really not
really drinking this 'cause this
is pretty good. Yeah, we're gonna
try this one here. This is the key ring.
No, this is. In style,
Lager and the thing about this
fear the reason we're making it
is din Thai Fung, the noodle.
You know, it's one of my favorite
restaurants. Yeah, well they wanna
donation style lager to go with
their feet food so I could see why
this would go well with that. Yeah,
it's probably well with like sushi
or rice dishes, noodle dishes, any any.
Yeah, any Asian style food and then
this is what it was modeled on.
So when we look at a beer we look
at the color we look at the head.
It's a little darker than our
head that we look at that smell.
The flavor in that. And then we.
Hops Emily Watson Moulton
to go ahead and taste it.
Oh, that is good. So that's
their rendition. But this
is this is I could smell a little bit
of the similarities as opposed to those
which are much different. Yeah yeah, yeah,
when we were designing the recipe
for that though for our Asian lager,
the people that didn't taifeng
they they liked are Hella slugger,
which is a German lager.
So we developed the recipe for
that as far as it's somewhat of a
German style lager. The hell is,
but with an Asian influence there.
And so it's kind of a mixed.
So it's unique,
unique in the beer world as
far as that particular mix.
The last one we wanna try something
that's kind of special, right?
This is special because this this
is coming from Carlsberg Brewery,
and whereas cultures had Denmark,
Denmark, yeah, but
why we chose this one?
It has historical
considerations in particular.
For example Pasteur, Pastor, pastor.
You know he he actually worked for
the Carlsberg laboratory towards
development of pasteurization.
Then going forward in the early 1900s,
there's a fella named Soren Sorenson
who is a lead chemist at Carlsberg.
He developed the novel concept of pH,
so Can you imagine?
Waters, yes, pH, deodorant and such,
all for the sake of better beer.
That's the bottom 0.
You guys for coming here joining,
joining me and you know,
let me taste your wares.
I feel like I have my own personal beer.
Somalia is now so I can call you guys up
when I need some help, right. Anytime
we love it.
Terry always gets the toughest assignments,
right? So great,
but we're gonna get to taste this too.
You can find checking out beer in stores
throughout the area for more details,
go to our website and lucky me.
Or should I say lucky us lucky of the campers
made sure that we have some beer to try.
This is their award-winning
chuckanut Kolsch German style ale.
Now you have to call it.
You have to call it.
Style because unless it is made actually
in the region of Cologne, oh, by the way,
I have some really nice Cologne on today.
It is it has to be called kolsch style.
You can't just call it cold
like champagne from France.
Actual champagne has to be champagne.
From Yakima is different.
Same idea. Alright champagne style.
Let me come on.
Oh my gosh, that is good.
This is the dangerous,
I know because it's it goes down easy.
It does. You know what?
What putting down the beer?
Because I'm picking up the drumsticks.
