In this episode, Henrique Boaventura welcomes Austrian historian and homebrewer Andreas Krennmair for a deep dive into the history of German beer, the origins of Rauchbier, and the unique role of Bamberg in preserving Germany’s brewing traditions. Andreas explains how industrialization led to the disappearance of countless regional beer styles, why Bamberg resisted standardization, and how smoked malt brewing survived through Schlenkerla and Spezial. A technical, historical, and passionate journey for those who love beer with context and soul.
