Outlier

Pouring a glowing yellow, we taste lemon, earthy noble hops, doughy malts, a hint of pear, gentle minerality, and a pleasant whisper of wheat. Outlier is a Kolsch-style ale brewed to be eminently drinkable yet loaded with nuance, character, and individuality.

Outlier is our Kolsch, a crisp German Ale that carries notes of doughy malt, lemon peel, and earthy noble spice. It’s a delicate, legendary style that is the pride of the Cologne region of Germany. You read that right: German Ale, not the ubiquitous German lager. Kölsch is indeed an outlier in the German beer scene. It uses an ale yeast that, through a genetic anomaly, can handle colder fermentation temperatures, creating a hybrid of Lager and Ale characteristics. After fermenting under pressure, we transfer it into our horizontal tanks, where it continues its plunge into cold conditioning. It’s a unique expression of traditional hops and flavorful German malts, meant to be poured liberally with friends, preferably in the warming spring sunshine.

Outlier is our take on a Kölsch, a celebrated style native to Cologne, Germany. This curious Ale yeast strain ferments well at cold temperatures, resulting in dry attenuation and a crisp, fruity body. It takes a lot of patience and a lot of time in stainless to achieve this level of refinement! We taste dried lemon peel, earthy noble hops, gentle minerality, doughy malts, and a whisper of wheat! #productphotography #productphotodaily #photography #craftbeer #treehousebrewing #beergram #beerstagram #beersandcameras #beerlover #beerbeerbeer #beerme #beergeek #beertography #beernerd #fujifilm #gfx100II @fujifilmx_us @profoto
