Self-Defined Style: 
Schwarzbier

We spent a long night of brainstorming, around a few pints, to create a beer suitable to bid our good friends ado. This black beer is a Bohemian Pilsner gone dark. German malts, noble hops, and lager yeast combine for our take on this traditional beer style. Though they may be moving on, we won’t let the lights go dark.

Best With: 
Dark lagers are the ideal accompaniment to all manner of sausages, particularly hearty variations including bratwurst and kielbasa. It also works beautifully with baked ham.

Strength (ABV): 
7.6% ABV

This is a high gravity interpretation of the classic German style black lager. Generous amounts of dehusked German barley were used to give the beer its dark color without adding the roasted or burnt flavors that are associated with typical dark beers. This coupled with lower hopping rates lends to a smooth flavor with a medium body and mildly warming finish.
