Saint Patrick’s Day is right around the corner and we’re all gearing up to drink the Dry Irish Stout, but before you get too excited ask yourself if you ever had Germany’s version of the Irish Stout-the Schwarzbier or black beer. Whether the answer is yes or no, you should! The Schwarzbier is a dark lager that is not overly malty nor overly roasted but marks a balance between crispness and flavor. Our Schwarzbier is a perfect example of the style with a blend of dehusked German roasted barley paired next to a light body of Pilsner malt!
Black Spot Lager
Schwarzbier, 5.3% ABV, 23 IBUs
When one gets the black spot, they’re destined for Tommy Jone’s Locker; but once you drink this black lager, you’ll wish you’d gone to Heaven! This Black lager, or Swartzbier, is a moderate ABV, easy drinker with a restrained yet roasted character and light mouthfeel. The lagering creates a crispness that allows the drinker to marvel at the malt complexity of this seemingly simple beer.
