These Belgian Brew Brothers are collaborating to bring you a special Belgian Triple with sweet orange peel as part of this year’s Lagers Homebrew Club-Gordon Biersch PRO-AM event. Head brewer, Nick Landers of Gordon-Biersch, challenged the home brewers to create a special beer using Belgian yeast. Craig Gardone prepared the winning entry. We caught up with the two brewers during brew day at the 4th Street brewery. Proceeds from a special tapping party, February 10th at 6:00pm, benefit the Kentucky Humane Society.

Professional brewer, Nick Landers of Gordon Biersch Brewery Restaurant helped home brewer, Roger Young, BREW BIG as part of the first annual Gordon Biersch L.A.G.E.R.S. PRO-AM. Roger’s Munich Helles Lager impressed the judges and earned him the privilege of brewing his recipe (normally 5 gallons) with Nick on Gordon Biersch’s 15 barrel (465 gallon) professional system. This lager is well balanced with Pilsner, Munich, Vienna and Crystal malts and traditional German Magnum, Hallertau and Tettnang hops. We visited with Roger and Nick during their brew day at the 4th Street Restaurant and Brewery.
