HELLES BOCK

Pale Bock || 6.7% || Willi Becher
Taste: Bready, Herbal, Biscuit

KELLERBIER

Franconian Pale Lager  ||  4.9%  || Willi Becher
Taste: Malty, Herbal, Pepper
Notes: Kellebier, Zwickel, Ungespundet and Landbier are often used interchangeably in Bavaria, and the designation is usually determined by region or the brewer's whim. But these beers share similar traits in that they are not filtered (or fined),which results in a slight haze, and they are mostly served on draft. Our Kellerbier is a pale version with a slightly higher ABV than our Zwickelbier, and carries a bigger, firmer maltiness.

Taste: Crisp, Dry, Hoppy
Notes:  Brewed with 100% Bavarian heirloom Pils malt, Perle, and Spalter Select hops and fermented with a classic Bavarian yeast strain. German Afternoons has an upfront malt fullness that quickly leads to a pleasant drying balanced bitterness. The floral hop aroma comes from Notch's favorite German variety - Spalter Select. Named for the John Prine album, a German Afternoon is a spontaneous afternoon spent enjoying yourself, with a beer or two, instead of doing the errands or chores you "should" be doing.

ROTBIER

Nuremberg Red Lager || 5.0% || Willi Becher
Taste: Caramel Nuts, Bisquit, Toasted Malt
Notes: A rarely found style originating from Nuremberg in Franconia. The red color comes from the unique Francoinian malt, as well as an extended decoction and wort boiling. Double decocted, naturally carbonated, and conditioned in horizontal lagering tanks for two months.
