New or notable, classic or quaffable, Mike is pouring a glass of it.
Beer: Hootenanny
Style: Kölsch
ABV: 4.8%
Brewer: Forest City Brewery
Mike Sez: One of the styles that helped wean me from an almost-exclusive diet of IPAs and pale ales was kölsch beer.
The Mad Fox Brewing Co. in Falls Church (Rest in Power -- Ed.) won a gold medal at the 2011 Great American Beer festival for its Kellerbier Kölsch. I had always chosen to drink the Orange Whip IPA or some other bitter beer when visiting there (it’s since closed, unfortunately). But I decided I should expand my palate for a medal-winner.
I found the clean, crisp and hoppy beer as complex as any other. There’s a reason for that: kölsch is made with ale yeast (like a pale ale), but goes through its finishing phase at cold temperatures like a lager.
Conclusion: Enter the Hootenanny kölsch, a six-pack of which was sent to my by friend of the podcast Jon Hyman. This beer is brewed by Forest City Brewery, a Cleveland brewery on the site of a century-old tavern and constructed with bricks from a 19th century brewery.
The amber-colored brew gets an earthy character in part from Ohio-grown hops. It holds up if it warms a bit, but it’s so quaffable you won’t let it get too warm before you want another. This beer is perfect for a hootenanny, whether you attend in person or over Zoom.

If you still have Todd on your mind, here's a massive 157-song playlist that purports to round up all the albums Mr. Rundgren released on Bearsville. If you start now, you should be able to get finished by the end of the weekend!
