Continually Writing with Justin Coleman of Krigsgrav Jan 25, 2022

Show notes

Justin Coleman of Krigsgrav & I have a conversation about how he coped with 2020/2021, his 1st beers, the soundtrack of his youth, his 1st shows, "The Sundering", his brother Zach's success, how he has been filling the void, a Krigsgrav Brew & his hangover cure.

Throughout this chat, Justin enjoyed Live Oak Brewing Company 's "Pilz" the 4.7% the Bohemian-style golden lager while I enjoyed Microbrasserie Le Fermentor x Microbrasserie Mutoïde x GMPQ Media x Vox&Hops' "Ale of the Fathers" the 6.5% Bourbon Barrel Aged Old Ale.

This version of "Ale of the Fathers" poured out with a slight reddish nut brown veil, slapped sweet bourbon filled apple pies on the nose & ripped a sweet bourbon laced caramel finish.
