    Brew Big

    March 15, 2015

    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.
