In addition to being a beautiful country that has a ton to offer visitors, Germany is known for a lot of good things. The printing press was invented there, luxury car brands like BMW and Mercedes-Benz, killer sausages, and of course, probably our

favorite thing, beer.

Now, unlike other European countries like England and Belgium, who focused mostly on their

ale game, Germany is probably most known for their incredible loggers, many of which are of

the paler sorts.

But there are some exceptions to that.

This is the Brewlossophy podcast. I'm your host, Marshall Shot. And this week I'm joined by contributor Will Lovell to chat about the classic German amberlager known as Merzsen. I have to say these episodes are always so much fun because we get to, I think I've said this sport, but we get to give our little love letter to this particular beer style and its history and what it is. And I have to say Marzen is one that I would love to write many love letters to you because it is so delicious. And when done right, especially when enjoyed in places like Bavaria, it is just absolutely fantastic. So I'm happy to write this swan song, this love letter to Mardson with you today, Marshall. Yeah, I'm looking forward to it as well. When I first worked up

the courage to broom out swan song, this love letter to Martin with you today, Marshall.

Yeah, I'm looking forward to it as well. When I first worked up the courage to brew my own loggers at home, Martson was high on my list. In fact, there was a good couple of years where it was

the single style that I brewed the most. There's just something about the melding of that rich

malt flavor and noble hops with the crisp,

clean drinkability of a lager that tickles my fancy.

I still love the style and look forward to getting into it with you today as well as what

tasters thought of one made a short and shoddy style.

All right.
