I'm still shit at listening and speaking it. I'll still fuck up certain umlauts and other sounds. But I'm slowly learning the basics of German! Couldn't pass the A1 test still but it's progress.

The curse of being an American and falling in life with someone in Europe. You must actually learn a different language at 30, something I wish I did growing up.

and a surge of

frisky umlauts

inundates

the alphabet’s

OwO Umlauts.

*Is German.*

*Has accent when saying certain words.*

*Gets Scottish accent when angreh.*

N - “Will you stop that?”

*Scottish accent: Activated.*

“ä does not sound like a and å does not sound like a also, ö does not sound like o”

I once heard a young brewer claim Kölsch was his favorite beer style. At the time I thought he must be nuts. Kölsch is tasty and all, but it all tastes the same right? But the kid had a point. Kölsch is a hard style to get perfect. It’s subtle. Lots of people will brew up a blonde ale and call it a Kolsch to make it sound fancy. That’s not what it is.

If you want to know how to make a Kölsch, go ask Bolt Minister. The guy made a really great Kölsch when he worked at Old Town Brewing, which was even better during fresh hop season. Now he’s opened his own place 54º 40` Brewing with another great Kölsch.
