KC Bier Co

On this episode, I talk with KC Bier Co founder and managing partner Steve Holle. Their motto is "We put the i back in Bier", and it shows with their dedication to authentic German style lagers and ales brewed with traditional processes.  The majority of their beer is out for distribution in liquor stores and bars/restaurants, but they also have a biergarten and taproom in Waldo.

Steve knows his stuff and I learned lots talking with him. We discuss:
