What's that commotion, you ask? Is it a mysterious creature lurking in the shadows? Is it the rumble of an approaching Balrog?! NOPE! It’s two sauced hobbits slamming down a second pint of "Beast Life" everyone's beloved, lauded, ONCE A YEAR SPOOKY-TIME TREAT WITH A SURPRISINGLY LARGE AND VOCAL CULT FOLLOWING THAT REMINDS US CRAFT B**R IS ALIVE AND WELL: Schwarzbier!
Spoiler: This is the exact same b**r as “Unknown Beast”, but with a new name and a new label to fall in-line with our new L***r branding. Fear not, we changed absolutely nothing about the liquid inside!
Our journey begins with a foundation of Chesapeake Pilsner, complemented by a blend of Specialty and Roasted Malts. We've infused it with Hallertauer Mittelfruh throughout the boil, and we've tossed in a generous helping of Perle in the Whirlpool. Our traditional German L***r treatment reigns supreme: a slow and cold fermentation, spunding for 100% natural carbonation, and a long slumber in a Horizontal L***ring Tank.
It all starts with tantalizing notes of roasty Cacao, sweet Hazelnut, toasted Wheat bread, and just a hint of those intriguing beans. Got me thinking about those beans...uh, right...then it wraps up with a clean, crisp, and dry finish, precisely as we intended. Don't let the dark appearance fool you; it's easily one of our favorite L***r offerings to date, maintaining the high level of crushability you've come to expect from our Chippy Boi™ L***r Program.
Join us for a taste of the "Beast Life" – it's a journey worth taking! 🍻👹
