Dawn of the Dunkel | Jack's Abby Craft Lagers
ABV: 6.4%
Style: Lager - Munich Dunkel
Actively Produced
Description: This is a reconstruction of the first Bavarian dark lager, adapted from a recipe circa 1550. It's a barley-only brew, because in 1516 the first version of German Beer Purity Law took effect, making it illegal to brew with anything other than water, barley, and hops. Technology at the time dictated floor-malting and inhomogeneous direct-fired kilning, which we're duplicating by using a combination of malts ranging from pale to roasted, and a good portion of smoked malt. Collab with Weyermann Special Malts
