I'm going to get back into brewing it again this year because my wife and I both really enjoy it, especially in summer time. It can be a very delicate and delicious beer and in spite of the more traditional Kölsch you may find in Germany you can really play around with and "Americanize" the style with hints of American and Noble hops. This can be a great crossover beer that will appeal to beer snobs as well as beer noobs.+1This is very true. I have converted many BMC drinkers to homebrew/craftbrew drinkers with my Kolsch. It is a beer for everybody.

Just finished up the prelims for the Stout and the IPA. But it is Steak night, so off I go.
Ooo. If I had to pick:1) ESB2) Dry Stout3) German lagers4) weird husband beer 5) weird husband beerHusband is a "weird beer guy" and I'm the to-style lady. The only beer we enjoy equally is a good dry stout. I think we're on the 5th or 6th batch of that one.
