It’s a German steinbier brewed with an authentic 36 pound (16kg) solid iron cannonball, dredged from the bottom of Lake Ontario. This cannonball would have been fired on our Great Lakes during conflicts surrounding the War of 1812. Two centuries later, we put our unique spin on the steinbier process. We heat the cannonball significantly hotter than the German brewers would have heated their stones. This heat caramelizes sugars from the malt to help balance bitterness from the hops, as well the cannonball leaves residual iron in the beer, giving the beer its crisp and refreshing finish
