TAP ROOM, BIERGARTEN, BREWERY

Full pours for on-site consumption (1/4 liter, 1/2 liter and liters) and cans to go. Communal tables, counter and table service, it's a place to socialize with friends or meet new ones. 

Open year-round (snow, sun, whatever), our 2000 sq ft Biergarten has a seating capacity of 250. Communal tables, heaters in the winter, umbrellas in the summer.

We hope that our brewery will provide customers a way to see the unique brewing processes and equipment we use - a traditional decoction brew-house, open and closed fermentation, horizontal lagering tanks, German gravity cask dispensing, and a Lukr draft system imported from the Czech Republic – tools, process and equipment that will allow a wide variety of lager and continental beer.

Fire walk with me - 16oz 4-pack

Amber Rauchbier || 4.5%
Taste: Beechwood Smoke, Caramel, Toast
Notes: Traditional smoked lager modeled after the smoked beers of Bamberg. Beechwood smoke is used to dry the barley during malting, resulting in a smoky aroma and hint of smoke in the flavor. Rauchbier is a German-style lager brewed with rauch (smoked) malt. At one time, smoked beer was commonplace, not the novelty it is today. Before Daniel Wheeler invented his drum kiln and changed the course of brewing history forever, the only way to dry malt was directly over an open fire. The process ensured every beer had a smoky shade hanging over each sip. Hop bitterness is usually medium and balanced. Clean lager fermentation character. Ideally, the aftertaste is a balance between the malt and smoke.

French Pils || 4.5% || Willi Becher
