Welcome to season 4 of the Central PA Pour!
Episode 1 - Gunpowder Falls Brewing
Dave and Bret had an educational and exciting interview with Martin Virga from Gundpowder Falls Brewing in New Freedom, PA.

Check out the full episode here: https://youtu.be/DRSOtjWLZLs

Martin is brewing up traditional German Style lager beers and following the German Purity Law (Reinheitsgebot) with just four ingredients: water, malt, hops and yeast. We find out Martin's path on where and how he learned to brew these traditional styles. In Germany of course! He even teaches us a little German, even though we didn't understand what he said (LOL). If you're looking for great traditional beers and authentic German food, this is a must visit place and we can't wait to get there.
Martin brought along his light lager, export light, a pilsner and his schwarzbier.
