Związek powiatowo-gminny "Grodziskie Przewozy Autobusowe" to w tej chwili największy organizator pozamiejskiego transportu autobusowego w Polsce. Mimo że obejmuje swoim obszarem tylko trzy powiaty, to uruchamia więcej kursów niż Województwo Małopolskie. Duża liczba często kursujących linii, nowe autobusy i niskie ceny biletów to niewątpliwe atuty systemu funkcjonującego w powiatach: grodziskim, pruszkowskim i warszawskim zachodnim. Jak zorganizować taką siatkę połączeń i ją sfinansować, opowiedział mi Jerzy Kowalczyk z biura związku GPA.

Learn how Soundgrowler's beers draw inspiration from a variety of art forms, resulting in a blend of rare styles, death metal, and yoga. Head Brewer Jacob Hutcheson and Brewing Operations Manager John Halek showcase Soundgrowler's vibrant and eclectic brewery, where beer, doom, and tacos come alive in Tinley Park, Illinois. Jacob begins by sharing his passion for the Grodzinski, a rare Polish-style beer that won Soundgrowler a medal at the World Beer Cup — in addition to an even more coveted prize from Weyermann Malting Company out of Bamberg, Germany. He also explains the story behind the beer's name, “Good Familiars,” and the wide range of art forms from which he draws inspiration for his beers. Jacob and John then discuss some of the brewery's more unique features, such as its artwork and events like metal yoga. They also discuss death metal subculture, the variety of music they listen to, and how they inspire new beers. Plus: their mission to create an inclusive atmosphere, the challenges of crafting beers that satisfy both brewer and consumer, and what it was like to craft a beer in someone's memory.

The city of Grodzisk Wielkopolski was once a major center of brewing in 19th century Poland, but political unrest, world wars, communism, and then misguided capitalism all played parts in closing the previous chapter of the city's brewing history in the early 90's. But the rise of craft beer also led to a resurgence in interest for obscure styles like the smoked wheat beer that made the city famous, and by 2016 a new group of owners relaunched the original Grodzisk brewery (https://browargrodzisk.com) with a heartfelt mission—to share this homegrown Polish beer style with the world. In this episode, head brewer Marcin Ostajewski shares history and process for the style, as well as ways that modern brewers are keeping the style vibrant and alive through modern variations. Through the episode, Ostajewski discusses: rebuilding the historical grodziskie recipe through historical sleuthing and first hand reports cofermenting grodziskie with two ale yeasts over hundreds of generations brewing with tomyski hops working with a maltster to produce oak smoked wheat malt where the malt is dried through the smoking process rather than smoked after kilning using long mashes to insure success brewing grodziskie with aged hops for additional preservative qualities from beta acids polishing the beer's clarity to reduce potential foaming with the very high carbonation brewing modern flavored versions of grodziskie And more.

Voor aflevering 30 gaat Henri op zoek naar de achtergrond van het Poolse biertype Grodziskie. Hij ondervraagt Marcin Ostajewski, de hoofdbrouwer van de Grodzisk brouwerij in Polen, en Marek Kaminski, brouwer en president van de Poolse craftbrouwers-organisatie, om meer te weten te komen over dit bijzondere bier. Kijk ook op https://bierradio.nl.

At this year's Central European Brewers Festival, Polish brewer Marek Kamiński gave a presentation on the briefly extinct style of Grodziskie that has been making a comeback in its homeland. Jeff and Marek later sat down to discuss this fascinating style, its history, and how it's doing today. We have that interview, along with the news and mailbag and a Croatian beer tasting.

Herlinda, Krzysztof and Marcin. Marcin Ostajewski from Browar Fortuna and Krzysztof Panek from Browar Grodzisk in Poland join Harry Duke and Herlinda Heras on Brew Ha Ha. Krzsyztof and Marcin have just arrived from Nashville, where they attended the World Beer Cup. Both of their breweries are located in western Poland, not far from Posnan. Browar Grodzisk is based in Grodzisk Wielkopolski and Browar Fortuna is in Miłosław. The Grodziskie style is Poland's own, originating in the town of Grodzisk. It is a unique beer, the only one in the world brewed with 100 % wheat malt, smoked with oak wood. The brewing process is difficult and long and it has to take its time. Grodziskie is light and refreshing, with a unique flavor among beers on the lighter side. Marcin tells about early 20th Century advertisements for this beer that refer to it as "Polish Champagne." There are samples of old Grodziskie ads here on Browar Grodzisk website. (This reminds me of Miller High Life, The Champagne of Bottled Beers, their old slogan. -cd) Visit our sponsor Victory House at Poppy Bank Epicenter online, for their latest viewing and menu options. Grodziskie Krzsyztof is quite serious about making Grodziskie as well as possible. He did extensive research in order to replicate the old equipment and he collected information from many people. The brewery fell into disuse after communism. Beginning in the 1990s, investors came in and closed breweries that were not cost-effective. Since lagers were in demand, beer consumers demanded that. Only later they were able to bring Grodziskie back when they re-founded the brewery. Russian River Brewing Co. is open in Santa Rosa on 4th St. and at their big Windsor location. Click the logo to visit their website for up-to-date hours, menus, beers and more info. Marcin talks about their home brew competition. The only rule is that beers in competition can't use wild yeast, which would interfere with their brewing operation. The brewery will produce the winning recipe at the next year's festival. Krzsyztof describes how hard it was to find the right malt for Grodziskie. They found a malter just over the border in Czech Republic. The home brewing community developed in Poland during communism when there was not enough good beer available commercially. When they brought Grodziskie beer back into production, the home brewers society was an important source of recipes, yeast and information. Next they taste Komes, an idea that came from Krzysztof wondering what would happen if he took their award-winning Baltic Porter, and froze it. He kept it for 2 weeks in the deep freezer. Below the ice there was a condensed liquid, made of alcohol and all the flavor elements. They tasted it and decided it was extraordinary. Then they put it in whiskey barrels. After 4 or 5 years of the project, they have several hundred bottles. There isn't much of it, but now they do batches of about 1000 bottles.

When is a Gose not a Gose? When it's really a Grodziskie! The Dr. Homebrew team got thrown for a loop on this week's show, as the beer we thought was a Gose turned out to be something way, WAY different. Our homebrewer this week is Michelle Wonder, and along with Melissa McCann, they run the Women's Craft Fermentation Alliance, which is an amazing organization striving to increse the reach of homebrewing and craft beer to women and non-binary folks across the world. The WCFA holds a virtual event every year that is packed with so much great information, just reading about it made our eye bulge out!

Sakamichi Brewing is located in Tachikawa, Tokyo. Each episode Daniel and Matthew (and sometimes guests) pick a beer or two from the menu and talk about it a bit. This week we were very happy to be joined by Derrek Buston, owner and managing director of West Coast Brewing. Together we tried a couple of their new releases and talked beer and brewing. The first beer - Forbidden Land - was a new style for us. A Grodziskie is a traditional, oak smoked wheat ale that is sometimes referred to as "Polish Champagne" due to its high carbonation: Light, smoky, crisp, and summery. The second beer could not have been more different. The Gateway Empowered is a 13.0% Imperial Stout with coffee and vanilla. Rich, thick, and incredibly dark. In an incredible coincidence, both will be available at our taproom from Friday afternoon so you can drink along with us.

American brewers have long been influenced by European brewing traditions, but what happens when European brewers take some of those American twist and apply them to their own brewing? Poland's Browar Pinta (http://www.browarpinta.pl/en/) answers exactly that question, as the ten-year-old brewery puts a PNW hop twist on Baltic porter, embraces hazy New England-style IPA, or barrel ages imperial stout. In this episode, Managing Director Paweł Maslowski and Head Brewer Bart Ociesa explain the inspirations for the creative take that has led to dynamic growth for the small craft brewery. Along the way, they discuss: Hopping strategy for Baltic porter with American hops Dialing in water with the perfect chloride ratio Keeping pH in the right range to avoid astringency Brewing Grodziskie Balancing bitterness in a sub 3% ABV beer with 100% smoked malt and 25 IBUs The importance of carbonation The importance of freshness in smoked malt Smoked malt's flavor impact as a function of overall amount, not percentage Barrel aging stout and barleywine and more! *This episode is brought to you by: * G&D Chillers (https://gdchillers.com): For nearly 30 years, G&D Chillers has set the mark for quality equipment you can rely on.

Zack Adams was invited onto the podcast this week to talk about his Grodziskie, a 3.2% smoked ale that he brewed with help and guidance from Live Oak Brewing, and a beer that utilizes specialty smoked malt from a local farm. Before all that, however, we spend time talking about how his taproom has evolved and adapted since COVID-19 began. Adams, the owner and brewer of Fox Farm Brewery in Salem, Connecticut also fills us in on the brewery's spontaneous beer program and the developing house culture that will have a prominent place in the tasting experience. Recorded via zoom just after the 2021 4th of July holiday weekend, Adams opens up on inspiration and making beers that appeal to his palate and how he brings drinkers along for the journey.  This Episode is sponsored by:BriessBriess is the leading supplier of specialty malt to craft brewers.  They offer the broadest product line in the industry, including a wide range of roasted malts that add flavor, color, and character to beer.  Their experienced operators handcraft every batch of roasted malt to ensure the product you get is consistent.  Check out BrewingwithBriess.com for beer recipes using roasted malt.  NZ HopsNZ Hops, the co-operative of Master Hop Growers are a passionate collective of farms dedicated to innovation and sustainability.

Over the past couple of decades, brewers and beer historians have recreated a growing number of formerly lost beer styles, like Grodziskie, Merseburger, Horner Bier, and others. Many of those styles come from the traditional brewing regions in Europe. But almost any country with any brewing history at all has its own lost beer styles. Sometimes, those recipes are completely indigenous. Sometimes they were imported from other places and subsequently modified in the new country, becoming their own unique types of beer. Today I'm talking to Michael Stein, the author of a recent piece from our Source Material series, “A Lager Darkly — In Search of Culmbacher, One of America's Great, Extinct Beers,” published on March 17, 2021. In his story, Michael explores the largely forgotten Culmbacher beer, originally from what is now the German state of Bavaria, but which grew in popularity in the United States in the 19th century, apparently changing substantially in the New World.  As we discuss, Culmbacher was once very common in America, though it disappeared almost completely during Prohibition, and never regained its previous status. But as we hear in this episode, a recipe discovered in the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History has been re-brewed, allowing modern beer lovers to taste something that has been extinct for most of a century.

“If it’s a pain in the ass, we usually do it,” says Live Oak (https://liveoakbrewing.com) head brewer Dusan Kwiatkowski. Brewing the hard way has been a core tenet of the brewery since their start in the mid ’90s. While most breweries launched around the time focused on ales (to distinguish themselves from the “macro” beer of the time), Live Oak committed to craft lager from its earliest days. Its Czech-inspired pale lager, Pilz, has been one of their core beers for more than two decades. Today, Live Oak maintains that focus by pushing lager even further, through the pre-Prohibition-style pils they call Pre-War Pils, and by brewing and advocating for Grodziskie, which they brew as a lager with oak-smoked malt from a small Czech maltster. In this episode, Kwiatkowski discusses everything from the ways they’ve sourced ingredients for the Grodziskie to the process behind the cereal mash necessary with corn grits in the Pre-War Pils. Along the way, he discusses the impact of smoked malt in recipes, brewing Grodziskie as a lager rather than an ale, polishing pils so that it sparkles in the glass, spunding tanks for proper finishing, and more. Live Oak is fond of referring to its Austin, Texas, location as “Bamberg on the Colorado,” referencing the German city’s reputation for smoked beer from breweries such as Schlenkerla and Spezial. While smoked beer is a niche in today’s wider beer world, Live Oak’s passion and focus on the approach are second to none. *This episode is brought to you by: * G&D Chillers (https://gdchillers.com): As the brewing industry’s premier choice for glycol chilling, G&D Chillers has set the standard on quality, service, reliability and dedication to their customer’s craft.

In this episode I discuss my vacation as well as my plans for the podcast moving forward in 2021. In the news I talk about Ohio’s great showing at GABF, Heineken being find in the UK, and the massive can shortage the country is currently facing. In the interview segment I travel to Akron, Ohio and meet up with co-owner and head brewer of Eighty-Three Brewery, Chris Surak. We discuss how he went from homebrewer to brewery owner, and the impact that Covid has had on his business. We try some of his fantastic beers including a pumpkin stout, an amazing NEIPA, a refreshing Pilsner, and I enjoy my first Grodziskie beer.

Stan Hieronymus knows a thing or two about hops Stan Hieronymus has forgotten more about the beer industry than most of us will ever know.  He's typically leaned on for his knowledge of hops, but his expertise extends to many other areas in craft beer.  Hieronymus relocated to the Atlanta area about 1 1/2 years ago and we bend his ear every chance we get.  He joined us in early 2018 (BGR #120) and we thought it was about time to have him on again for an update. Naturally, we talk a lot about hops in this episode.  We get the update on the hop harvest across Europe and the Pacific NW and discuss hop terroir, a topic that hasn't been mentioned often but is generating more buzz after recent tests.  Some yeast talk happens as well, and we talk about our latest obsession - kveik.  We hear about the durability of true kveik strains and how real Norwegian farmhouse brewers make their beer, and it's likely nothing like what you've had at your local brewery.  With Hieronymus's recent trip to South America, we hear about the craft beer scene there and what styles are popular.  Spoiler... haze is an international craze.

Live from the floor of Homebrew Con 2018 in Portland, OR, it's Jersey & Tim! The boys took over the mics for a couple hours to reviews beers made by some super rad homebrewers who, in addition to being very gracious, were equally as brave. Here's the list of beers Jersey & Tim reviewed in the order presented in the episode: 1. Warm Fermented Pilsner by Chris Harper 2. Strawberry Milkshake IPA by Sean Osborne 3. New England IPA by Kevin Callais 4. Sour Cherry Blonde Ale by Andy Carter 5. Lambic-style Ale by Brian Hall 6. Kölsch by Kevin Callais 7. Spiced Doppelbock by Cameron Piltz 8. Grodziskie by Jake Freshour 9. American Pale Ale by Jeremy Jalabert 10. Imperial Stout by Steven Ouzts & Zach Zanassi 11. Maibock by Patrick Smith 12. New England IPA by Thomas Hespeler 13. Chocolate Cherry Porter by Chris Harper 14. Oat Pale Ale by Kevin Callais

"Session" is a new word to many a craft beer drinker's lexicon, but the idea of session beer far predates whatever new lingo is helping sell balanced, lower alcohol brews. You may have also seen the words "light," or "table" used in a similar context. Meaning: easy to drink, balanced, dare I say crushable? Some of you just cringed, I know, but it’s been hard going for anyone looking to sell these kinds of beers in our culture of extreme flavor and high alcohol and rarity. That is, until someone decided to pair it with IPA. They need a pitch, a hook, to get people interested in what really, for most people around the world, defines normal everyday great beer. I mean, you don’t see Pilsner Urquell going around pitching itself as light or sessionable. But this is America—it all needs a qualifier of some sort.  One brewery in Salem, Massachusetts has done more than just pitch their beer with the word "session" in the title—they’ve gone all in on the concept, referring to their entire portfolio as American Session Beer. Notch Brewing—under founder Chris Lohring—started out as a contract brand, largely because he couldn’t convince anyone that these styles would ever be in favor. That’s hard to imagine in 2017 when it seems every craft brewer is gunning for the easy-drinking Lager, Hoppy Pilsner, and Golden Ale. So he took a hard road, scraping together support from fellow brewers with capacity, building his brand and base, and finally, just last year, got the investment he needed to open his own small brewery with a taproom and take another step into the future of his idea.  Oh, and the beers are absolutely delicious.  When I was there recently, I had the Pilsner, which was clearly more refined and delicate than most you’ll have in the U.S., and we’ll dig in to the reasons why in this episode. I also had the smoked Grodziskie, which was layered and balanced and just sang on the palate. I also enjoyed his take on the hazy IPA which, when viewed through the lens of session beer, makes a whole lot of sense. 

This week we do a double episode because of all the Gremlins! We taste our English Barleywine and then dive into the Wheatwine style followed by a dive into the Piwo Grodziskie

Stan Hieronymus is my guest this week, and we’re talking about the resurgence of the Grodziskie beer style from Poland made from oak smoked wheat malt. This style was nearly lost to us, and out of production in the mid 20’th century, but home brewers and craft breweries have brought this style back to life. […]

This week on Fuhmentaboudit!, Mary Izett conducts an interview with Dr. Fritz Briem, the Director of Technology at Boonrawd Brewery in Thailand, and brewer of several historical beers distributed by B. United International Inc. Dr. Fritz Briem also receieved his degree from the TU Munich-Weihenstephan, and was the former Director of Education at the Siebel Institute in Chicago. This episode is a homebrewer’s dream! Tune in for a step-by-step description from Dr. Fritz Briem himself about how he made his 1809 Berliner Weisse. Hear about the importance of wild flora in the beer’s brewing process. Later, Dr. Fritz Briem talks about his Grodziskie, and the role of the smoked wheat in the brew. Learn why the Grodziskie needs to mature, and then ferment further in the bottle to get its delicious flavor. Why does Dr. Fritz Briem smoke his own malt? The doctor also talks about some of his upcoming brewing ideas that will involve honey and molasses!
