Work Sucks, Drink Beer
Lupulin Brewing sounds like they've got things figured out - Work Sucks, Drink Beer seems appropriate, especially now. Founder Jeff Zierdt and Matt Schiller focus on making delicious beers for your off-hours. Although they're known for their hoppy offerings, as their name implies, they offer up many other styles as well. They've won several awards for their German-style lagers, make some tasty porters and stouts, and have a thriving sour program. We caught up with Schiller as he passed through Atlanta and sat down to talk shop and share some of his brews.
We had to talk hops so we discuss the different methods of hop delivery and what Lupulin prefers to use. We dive some into experimental hops and the interesting flavors that are coming out today (oak barrel and coconut?), and we dive into lagers some, with talk of their GABF Doppelbock and other German goodies.
