Drinking Socially - S3 Ep. 16 - Release The Yeast
We had a hard time finding beers that really make it easy to talk about Yeast. Our impulse was to look for classic Belgian beers as an entryway to speaking about the characteristics of different yeast strains. However, as the landscape of beer retail changes during Covid, we found ourselves unable to find a Chimay, or Piraat. After some shopping around, we're excited to check off a beer on Jon's Mount Beermore — and bring in a classic from Flying Dog. Sit back and enjoy a pint as we talk about Yeast. (More than you ever hoped for)

What We’re Drinking:
Franziskaner by Spaten-Franziskaner-Löwenbräu-Gruppe
https://untappd.com/b/spaten-franziskaner-lowenbrau-gruppe-franziskaner-premium-weissbier/14564
- ABV: 5%
- IBU: 12
- Notes: Franziskaner Hefe-Weissbier Naturtrüb is a natural and elegant wheat beer protagonist from Bavaria with a lush white foam. The copper-golden wheat beer with yeast-over opalescence unfolds an aromatic fragrance with a harmonious fruit in which bananas and citrus fruits greet.

https://untappd.com/b/flying-dog-brewery-raging-bitch-belgian-ipa/5756
- ABV: 8.3
- IBU: 60
- Notes: This beer has a lot going on. Its sweet malt body is contrasted by pine and grapefruit hop flavors and exotic fruit notes from the Belgian yeast.
