#19: Jeff Cozzens & John Lenzini I Schilling Beer Co

October 15, 2019 • Graining In • Season 1 • Episode 19

Straight outta Littleton! Recorded in the heart of the cellar at Schilling Beer as a double session with two of the company's owners, smack dab in the middle of the brewery's 6th anniversary, this is a fun one.
Jeff Cozzens, the business/community outreach side of the brewery, leads off the conversation. He talks with the guys about Lederhosen and Schilling's evolving role as an anchor of a small New Hampshire town, and also offers a special shout-out to a particular breed of Untappd user.
Next, things get geeky in a hurry with John Lenzini, Schilling's founding brewer. John traces his commitment to lager back to the many years he spent in Austria and blesses Noah and Matty with some valuable thoughts on the merits of decoction and nature of kellerbier.
The guys barely made it back to Maine alive after Jeff, John, and the whole Schilling crew literally tried to kill them with kindness, but all's well that ends well, and hopefully the conversation is half as fun to listen to as it was to have.
