German & austrian BIER
HExen STADT
Munich Helles || 4.8% || Willi Becher
Taste: bright, honey, subtle sweeyness
Notes: A classic style from Munich, Helles is malt driven with cracker and white grape aromas and the flavor is clean and bright.

GERMAN AFTERNOONS
German Pils || 4.5% || Willi Becher
Taste: Crisp, Dry, Hoppy
Notes: Brewed with 100% Bavarian heirloom Pils malt, Perle, and Spalter Select hops and fermented with a classic bavarian yeast strain. German Afternoons has an upfront malt fullness that quickly leads to a pleasant drying balanced bitterness. The floral hop aroma comes from Notch's favorite German variety - Spalter Select. Named for the John Prine album, a German Afternoon is a spontaneous afternoon spent enjoying yourself, with a beer or two, instead of doing the errands or chores you "should" be doing.
STICKE ALTBIER
Strong Dusseldorf-style Altbier || 6.5% || Willi Becher
Taste: Malty, Caramel, Toast
Notes:Sticke Bier is a name given to a strong dry-hopped version of the top-fermented Dusseldorf-style Altbier, generally described as being higher in alcohol and more assertive in character than the traditional version.
ALTBIER
Dusseldorf-style Altbier || 4.5% || Willi Becher
Taste: Malt, Caramel, Toast
Notes: An ale fermented like a lager (long, slow, and cold) delivers a snappy bitterness with rounded notes of dark crusty bread and caramel. Sweet vanilla notes balance earthy bitterness, giving this beer a unique layered flavor.
HEFE WEISSE
Bavarian Wheat Bier || 5.2% || Weisse Glass
Taste: Clove, Banana, Full-bodied
Notes: Classic Bavarian wheat beer and one of the most technically challenging beers we make. Open fermented for maximum aroma and flavor, with clove and banana aromas formed from the unique Bavarian yeast.
VIENNA LAGER
Austrian Amber Lager || 4.5% || Willi Becher
Taste: Toast, Caramel, Pepper
Notes: Brewer and Vienna native Anton Dreher has been credited as the founder of the Vienna Lager style. He created what is now known as Vienna malt and used this in the Vienna beer. Austrian’s took this style of beer to Mexico in the late 19th century where it has greatly influenced their beers.
ZWICKEL BIER
Bavarian Pale Lager || 4.5% || Willi Becher
