Glad you liked the Shiner

Good show. Glad you liked the Shiner. It is certainly different and I was as shocked as you guys were to see Shiner make something out of the ordinary. I know you guys like the Kolsch, but sadly it has been retired for about two years. Hopefully they will bring it back because it was their best regular offering.

kolsch

I wondered why I could no longer find that beer, it was one of my favorite kolsch's, if not my favorite.

recipe for homebrewing

Jeff, I heard you mention you were going to brew a gumball head clone on the show. I brewed the linked clone this past spring, and then shared it with some friends, including a couple of homebrewers, alongside the real beer over the summer. They were all in agreement that it was as close to a perfect clone as they have had, and universally was agreed to be the best homebrew of the 9 we had to sample.

Let me know if you decide to go with this version.
