Rauchbier Helles
Bamberg Style Smoked Light Lager
Excited to offer not one but TWO smoked beers at Offset this spring. This smoked German light lager is made in the true Bamberg tradition. Unlike the smoked Marzen which uses 70% smoked malt in the grain bill this Helles actually uses no smoked malt. However we take the yeast used to ferment the Märzen and use it to ferment this Helles as would be traditional. The yeast itself retains some of the smoke character from the Märzen and imparts just a hint of smoke to the Helles. It comes through ever so slightly in flavor and aroma and honestly you might not even notice it if we didn’t tell you. It brings a little more nuance and complexity to a very simple beer
