24. Coin Story Halloween Special: Monsters of Silver #coin #horror #silver #halloween

Welcome to the Halloween edition of Coin Story, where every coin has a story to tell… and tonight’s coins may just have a curse. Deep within the crypts of the Intaglio Mint — one of America’s finest private mints known for its incredible high-relief silver art rounds — a haunting series was struck. Based in Colorado, the Intaglio Mint is beloved by collectors for its craftsmanship, historical tributes, and imaginative themes — everything from ancient mythology to, yes… classic monsters of the silver screen. #intagliomint #coinstorypodcast Our Sponsors Fondo Coffee fondocoffee.org GBD Marketing (714) 594-9582 info@gbdmarketing.com

21. The Coin Tavern. The 30 Years War. Bavarian Beer! Part 2.

The beer selected for this episode is called Aecht Schlenkerla Rauchbier. Why this beer? It’s a very old, traditional German style of beer. This style is not that well known (just like the Thirty Years’ War). A lot of the Thirty Years’ war involved burning German towns and villages, so I thought that this beer style was quite appropriate! Rauchbier, which literally translates to “smoked beer” in German, gets its distinct campfire-like flavor from drying malt in a kiln fueled most commonly by Beechwood. The polarizing style has a fascinating, if slightly smoky, history. In the past, all beer had a smoky character due to the method of drying malt over open fires. This was the only way to dry the malted barley before the invention of smoke-free kilns. In 1635, and Englishman (from Cornwall) named Sir Nicholas Halse patented a "smokeless" kiln, revolutionizing malt drying. This led to a decline in smoky beers as breweries adopted the new technology, resulting in cleaner, lighter-colored beers. So, while many German brewing regions abandoned the smoky method, Bamberg in northern Bavaria, with its access to beechwood for smoking the malt, and its strong connection to traditional brewing, continued to produce Rauchbier.

20. The Coin Tavern. The 30 Years War! For Me To Poop On! Part 1:The Coins and History.

On May 23,1618 in the city of Prague, two Catholic representatives of the Holy Roman Emperor, Matthias, were about to strike the match that would unleash a firestorm of war and destruction engulfing Central Europe for the next Thirty Years. And it all began with a pile of poop. Join our friend Simon as he tells the tale of religion, war, excrement and beer. Hopefully not in that order.
