A beer born out of resistance to the rise of lager beer in Germany. Brewers of Cologne created a beer true to the top fermenting ale yeast of their tradition and cold conditioned like the new hip lager beers. The result. An easy drinking, smooth, lightly hopped, hybrid beer. The Kölsch. We brewed this with a simple malt and hop bill, and let the yeast take the wheel. This beer bleeds the traditional Kölsch flavor, with a clean, light body, and crisp finish.
