Simon Olney from Ol Republic Brewing joins us on The Session to talk about their wonderful Continental Style beers. Located in Nevada City, CA. these guys are brewing amazing examples of traditional UK and German style beers that have won several awards and represent true examples of their styles. We discuss the process of layering flavors, using traditional ingredients to make the beers accurate, and how to get the most flavor out of traditional techniques like spoonding. We also get a visit from Nathan Smith and Nicole Erny, and Justin is back at the helm fresh off his first trip to New Orleans. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
