What if I told you that most of what we knew about Pliny clones was wrong? Well, about six months ago, I received an email from a fan of the blog who happened to stumble across some info about the Pliny recipe that looked pretty different than what we've heard from Vinny in the past. I’m intentionally leaving out some details, out of respect for Russian River, but I have every reason to believe the info to be accurate. The same recipe info was later posted to a popular homebrew forum, although it surprisingly didn’t garner much attention. With that said, please don't ask me for specifics, as I'm already pushing my moral boundaries here. I really debated whether or not I was going to post this recipe at all. After some deliberation, and considering just a cursory search will turn up the same details now, I decided that I'm not exactly divulging any secrets. So here's my experience brewing this newer (more accurate) Pliny recipe.



Well, it's been long enough. While this brew wasn't exactly a recent beer, it is still on tap at the house, and worthy of writing about. Today we're talking about German Kolsch. This is one of those beer styles that isn't exactly sexy, but I still really enjoy. We have a local brewery here in Tempe (Four Peaks) that makes a really fantastic, true-to-style, Kolsch. It's a really nice beer to drink during the hot summer months here, and it's been one of their staples for years. Aside from that, last year while in Europe we spent a couples days in Cologne, and I can't explain how awesome it was to drink Kolsch in some the venerable beer halls there.
