Beer Description

Brewed with 100% German malt, hops and yeast, this special collaboration beer started out as a German Helles (Light) Bock with a solid malt backbone. Using a newly available German lager yeast strain which originated from a German monastery brewery, it fermented for 4 weeks.

Along the way we did something very un-German. We decided to late hop and dry-hop the beer in the tradition of an American IPA. But we used all German Hallertauer Tradition hops, over 40lbs of them for a 15bbl batch. Because we used them so late in the brewing process, only minimal bitterness was added, but the full hop flavor and aroma of these German noble hops is retained.

The result is a strong German lager with loads of hop aroma and flavor that doesn’t quite fit the German Purity Law, hence the name “Reinheits Kaput!”
