In episode 11 of After Two Beers, John Holl sits down with Florian Kuplent, co-founder and brewmaster of Urban Chestnut Brewing Co. The two discuss how Kuplent came to open the brewery in St. Louis in 2011 and, more recently, the Urban Chestnut Hallertauer Brauerei in Bavaria.

Kuplent discusses the art of brewing lagers, how Urban Chestnut’s beers have been received in Germany, and why he thinks Germans will never completely embrace the American approach to beer.
