Many brewers have been inspired to recreate a version of a beer or beers that they have had in Germany. Seldom do you see brewers follow the exact process to create that beer either because the labor and cost would be too high, or technology has provided a faster way to arrive to the desired outcome. Founder and Head Brewer Ross Kelly of Kelly Brewing Company is not that brewer. Ross uses the old world practice of open fermentation to create beer that makes it an after thought that pint number 3 is already finished.
