According to legend the bishop of Bamberg would not grant the citizens any land for the construction of a town hall. Rejecting this decision, the resourceful townsfolk rammed piles into the river to create an artificial island, on which they built a castle. Just as ingenious, our German inspired rauchbier has a distinctively smoke flavoured beer made from malted barley smoked with beech wood. This smoked ale has a sweet, smoky aroma and flavour brewed with special character malts for colour. We recommend pairing with bold, full-flavoured foods, such as barbequed meats, artisan cheese and rich chocolate desserts. “The Rauchbier style originated in Bamberg German, where the indigenous Beech wood trees surrounds the hill side of this quaint town. The beech is used to smoke a portion of the grain to impart a unique smoked flavour which is recognized all around the world. Bamberg boasts a high ratio of breweries to townsfolk and is worth a visit if you are in the area,” adds Britton.

473ml tallboy from LCBO. Pours an average size frothy beige head and has a dark amber coppery appearance. Some sticky lacing. Subtle smokey aromas, light roasted malts, hints of vanilla. Flavours roasted barley malts, smokey, earthy and resin hops, some hints of dry fruit. Has a bit of a watery mouthfeel, but also a bit slick and oily.

Part of their Brewmaster’s Selection 4-pack. Pours a real deep, clean amber, almost copper colour with a creamy beige head, nicely lasting a while and with thick foamy lacing. Mild aromas of smoke, roasted malts, caramel malts and light hops. The smokiness is milder in the taste with a little sweetness, but not syrupy. Burnt wood lingering smoothly. Well done here, as an easy introduction to many and the Rauchbier family.
