Zoiglbier is a historical Lager, pouring a glowing amber hue with sticky foam mountains rising above the glass. Vienna, Pilsner, and a touch of flaked corn lend notes of toasted bread, honey-brushed crust, and a hint of caramel. Adeena hops complement the soft esters from a traditional yeast with notes of lemon, spice, and wildflowers.

Living History. Zoiglbier is a historical lager, pouring a glowing amber hue with sticky foam mountains rising above the glass. It carries notes of toasted bread, honey-brushed crust, noble spice, and wildflowers. Zoiglbier hails from a tradition where local brewers gather at a communal brewery, or “Kommunbrauhaus”; here they would mash and boil wort before dividing it up to ferment individually. While inspired by the communal spirit of traditional Zoiglbier, our interpretation is rooted firmly in New England. We imagined what these beers might look like if they had evolved here, crafting ours with a nod to local ingredients and distinctly American character. A trio of grains from Connecticut showcases our regional terroir much as historical German brewers would have relied on malt grown close to home. Adeena hops offer an American take on classic European noble varieties. With a hearty lineage, they are prized for their resilience while retaining a classic old-world character.
