Episode 179: Black Forest Brewery (or Boats and Boats)

With Bob Harter and Eric Sears at Black Forest Brewery

We drop in on the lovely town of Ephrata, PA once again, this time to visit Black Forest brewery and chat with Owner Bob Harter and Bar Manager Eric Sears. On a crisp fall morning (this might be the record for the earliest podcast recording in Beer Busters history), we discuss the inspiration for and story behind Black Forest and the attached 1777 Americana Inn Bed & Breakfast. We also dive into upcoming expansion plans and marvel at Black Forest’s commitment to producing Reinheitsgebot-abiding brews. In Happy Fun Time, Wayne hosted a round of There’s Weird in My Beer and Steph continued the long-running series of hop-ucation in another Know Your Beers all about German hops.
