Parkville Microbrew Festival

An unfiltered German-style interpretation of a farmhouse ale, a style which originated in Strasbourg, in the Alsace region of France at the French-German border. Brewed with 100% imported German malt and hops, Der Bauer is dry, crisp and effervescent, with rustic fermentation notes and citrus hop aromas. Fun Fact: Der Bauer is German for "The Farmer." ACCOLADES: Rated 94 by Craft Beer & Brewing magazine. Gold Medal (American-Belgo-Style Ale), 2018 U.S. Open Beer Championship.

Hefeweizen is a pale, hazy, Bavarian-style wheat ale with bready malt flavors from 100% imported German-grown wheat, Pilsner and Vienna malt. Its low bitterness comes from modest amounts of imported Perle hops from Bavaria's famous Hallertau Valley hop-growing region. The most distinct character of Hefeweizen are its fruity banana esters and spicy clove-like phenols, which are derived entirely from our pure Hefeweizen yeast strain from Andechs, a Bavarian monastery brewery. Fun Fact: In German, Hefeweizen means "yeast wheat." Hefe translates to "yeast" in English, and Weizen translates to "wheat."

A medium-bodied amber bock lager, Maibock's rich caramel and honey malt flavors come from double decoction mashing with 100% imported Pilsner and Vienna malt, while its moderate bitterness comes from all-imported Bavarian Perle hops. Its clean, silky-smooth finish comes from weeks of cold lagering with pure Bavarian Andechs lager yeast. Naturally carbonated.

In 1841, the City of Pilsen (Czech Republic) hired Bavarian Braumeister Joseph Grollto to brew a pale lager. This brew became known as "Pilsner" after its birthplace and is the most copied style in the world today. Because only beer brewed in Pilsen can be called Pilsner (i.e. Champagne only comes from the Champagne region of France), we call our beer "Pils." Our Pils is a true Northern German-style Pilsner, a pale lager bier with a clean malt character, assertive but delicate bitterness, spicy noble hop aroma, and a crisp, dry finish.
