Frankenlagerstein

It’s Alive! Frankenlagerstein is a sinister amalgamation of various brewing traditions, brought to life in a fit of madness! We started with a wheat-heavy grist fit for a Hefeweizen before pitching the strangest of ale yeasts, the indomitable Kölsch! After undergoing a cold fermentation, we dry-hopped this German hodgepodge with buckets of American Cascade worthy of a classic Pale Ale.

⚡️⚡️⚡️ It's alive!⚡️⚡️⚡️ Frankenlagerstein is pieced together from three beer styles. We started with a wheat-heavy grist fit for a Hefeweizen, then pitched Kölsch, an ale yeast with lager tendencies. After a cold fermentation, we dry-hopped this German hodgepodge with buckets of Cascade, the classic American Pale Ale hop. The result is a silky, fruity beer with notes of citrus peel and pine. Our brewers kick around out-there ideas like this during downtime. October felt like the right time to stop talking and brew one. 🧟‍♂️
