Glenn Cole Talks LAGERS with Geneseo Brewing Co.

Today Glenn Cole from Geneseo Brewing Co came in to talk about (geek out about) lagers!  They apparently are harder to make because there's less in them to mask the mess-ups.  They're also a nice intro to craft beers!  So, if you've got a friend who's looking to try but doesn't' know where to start...lagers!

The beer of the week was 5ive Cities Brewery "Smash Pad" (4.4%abv). Which reminds me...if you're a craft beer guy who has a negative view on lagers...try our beer of the week.  It's damn good.
