KC Bier Co


Listen Later

On this episode, I talk with KC Bier Co founder and managing partner Steve Holle. Their motto is "We put the i back in Bier", and it shows with their dedication to authentic German style lagers and ales brewed with traditional processes.  The majority of their beer is out for distribution in liquor stores and bars/restaurants, but they also have a biergarten and taproom in Waldo.

Steve knows his stuff and I learned lots talking with him. We discuss:

  • Steve's background and how he got into German beers
  • A unique beer process involving freezing beer to remove some of the water content, called an Eisbock.
  • The story of strong, "nutritious" beers being created for the fasting during Lent.
  • German culture and what brewing according to the purity laws of Germany means
  • The food at KC Bier

To learn more about their brewery check out their very in-depth website at kcbier.com, it has some really great info about their history and processes and also a beer finder to go buy some of their beers.
