This year's Battle Brews
| Safety Dance |
| German Pilsner ABV: 4.8% IBU: |
| There was some dancing, and then a fall, and then a broken elbow... and so we brewed a low-ABV beer, a pilsner. Everything about this lager is delicate. Its faint spicy, herbal aromas; its hint of sweetness; and its gentle breadiness fill your nose and then dance on your tongue in an effervescent spritz. European noble hops keep this glowing straw-colored beer mellow and refreshing. It’s the perfect choice to pair with a lunchtime salad or a dinner of savory smoked salmon or steamed shrimp. |
| The Princess |
| Marzen ABV: 5.5% IBU: |
| Traditionally brewed for the annual celebration of the marriage of Princess Therese to Bavarian Prince Ludwig, our version of Oktoberfest beer is named for the fair and fertile (she birthed 13 royals) Princess Elizabeth, the namesake of the river that courses through our region. This copper lager boasts the perfect union of caramel toffee sweetness with warm toasty maltiness. Enjoy with pretzels and mustard or a reuben sandwich. |
