WINDHAM — Hear Here was joined by Owen Hartman, the head brewer from Windham’s Mountain King Brewery. The first time Owen was on the podcast, we talked about the origin story of the brewery and how he and founder Bob McLynn both found their love for beers while traveling in Germany. This time the boys just talked beer.

Owen brought Jesse and Evan in some samples to open, taste, taste again, talk about and have another taste. Needless to say, they did not last long! And we are not the only ones who recognize how good their beer is! Mountain King has already been recognized for their incredible quality with an award from NYS Craft Beer Competition for the Burnt Knob Porter! Although no one in the room was a cicerone, all heartily agreed that they were some incredible beers. 

Owen dug into the process from choosing a recipe, managing ingredients, modifying it, controlling for quality, and not crying over spilled beer. A point that really hit home was the quality of water in Windham which all on the mountain top knows and loves and how that lends to the quality of beer! Just in case you needed another reason to stop in and have a beer or grab some cans to go next time you go through Windham.
