Oktoberfest: 4 German Lager Release
When we opened our doors nearly one year ago, we knew we wanted to make beautiful lagers, which is the reason we had our system plumbed to allow for decoction brewing. However, we never imagined how lager forward we would become. And now the culmination is finally here….Oktoberfest! We are absolutely thrilled to bring to you our four German lager release! Prost!

Hoser Lager
Oktoberfest Lager 5.6%
Caramel Malt / Bread Crust / Changing Seasons
Wrap your lips around this Oktoberfest, which pays tribute to perhaps the best beer movie in history, Strange Brew. We brewed this single-decoction beer back in July and let it lager for 12 weeks! The result is a beautifully complex traditional lager with notes of caramel malt and bread crust, and signifies the changing of seasons. Take off, eh!
SOLD OUT
We’ve Gone to Plaid
Rye Schwarzbier 4.7%
Marble Rye / Light roast / Morning coffee
Ah, buckle this! Ludicrous speed, go! That’s right, we’ve gone to plaid with our Rye Schwarzbier. This double-decocted dark German lager was not easy to brew, but the outcome is a complex beer with a balance of dark German malts and a large rye addition that comes together for a clean lager finish.

Business Is A-Boomin'
German Style Kölsch 5%
Contessa/Tradition
Light/Crisp/Floral
You know how to get to Carnegie Hall Don’t ya? Practice! We are bringing back our German-style Kölsch. It’s crisp, clean, and reminiscent of a light lager. It’s brewed with all imported German malt and noble hops that give it a fruity and floral character. This delicate beer is perfect any season, and has always been a popular choice in the taproom!
CLOSED
Royal Rug
German Pilsner
Mittelfrüh/Tradition
Toasted Grain/Sweet/Floral
As many of you know, the real life Dude designed our brewing system along with Boy Wonder at Specific Mechanical to allow us to do decoction brewing, which is so rare these days. We are able to move our grain from kettle to mash tun and back, boiling ⅓ of the grain to capture additional flavor, color and aroma. It’s a time-consuming process but well worth it as this spectacular beer accentuates a toastiness that wouldn't be found without it. The Mittelfrüh & Tradition hops provide floral notes with a soft bitterness in this extremely delicate Pilsner. The dude abides.
