Listen "Samichlaus, Frogichlaus, and Ol’ Saint Nick"
Episode Synopsis
Brewed once per year on St. Nicholas Day, the Triplebock Samichlaus can rightfully be called the OG of extreme beers. Dan Shaffer, head brewer at Land Grant, and Ralph Wolfe join us for a closer look at this cult classic, as well as the Samichlaus-inspired Frogichlaus Swiss Style Celebration Lager from Akron’s Hoppin’ Frog Brewery. Along the way we discuss the historic St. Nicholas, and European traditions surrounding St. Nicholas Day. If you've been naughty, it might be worth your time to check out our primer St. Nicholas' sidekicks Krampus and Zwarte Piet, who deal with the bad kids.
