Both Steve Holle (founder) and Karlton Graham (brewmaster) went to brewing school in Doemens Akademie in Munich. That craft mastery has led them to medals aplenty, including multiple GABF awards and World Beer Cup medals for their strictly German-sourced ingredients and Reinheitsgebot methods. Their commitment to proper German beers is only matched by their love of community and support. That’s why folks fly out for every release to see what’s cooking (or, rather, lagering) at KC.
