Zoigl Bier

Written by

Brewed by Logan Beets, the winner of the 2023 KC Bier Meister’s Home Brew Scale-Up contest! Logan’s Zoigl bier was chosen as the best of numerous submissions from across the nation. As winner, Logan was invited to the brewery to brew his recipe with us and release it in the taproom!

Zoigl is a traditional lager brewed in the Oberpfalz region of Bavaria beginning as early as the 1400s in community brew houses, or Kommunbrauhaus. When bier was ready to be served, a beer sign (Bierzeigel) was hung outside of the house, which was usually a 6-pointed star. The star, made of two triangles, represented the ingredients of bier (malt, water, hops) and the three elements (fire, earth, and air). Learn more about Zoigl history here: https://kcbier.com/news/ 
Logan’s Zoigl Bier is dry and crisp with malt flavors of honey and cereal grains, slight toasted malt character and moderate bitterness, with an ABV of 4.8% and mild 28 IBUs. This bier is only on draught at the Bierhalle, and only available for a limited time!

Rauchbock

Written by

Rauchbock is a Smoked Amber Bock Lager brewed to honor the traditional Rauchbier (smoked beer) of Bamberg, Germany. Before the invention of smokeless kilns with indirect heat, maltsters used direct heat from wood-burning fires to dry their malt that would be used to make bier. The direct heat imparted a smokiness to the malt that is similar to the peated malt used in Scotch whisky. With advances in technology, most breweries around the world have gone smokeless. However, breweries in Bamberg in northern Bavaria continue to brew with Rauchmalz, aka smoked malt.

We brewed Rauchbock using smoked malt from IREKS in Kulmbach, Bavaria, in the traditional fashion of a Bockbier. It has a rich caramel malt character that is complemented by a complex yet subtle smokiness from the smoked malt. Try it with funky cheeses, grilled meats, or enjoy all on its own for a unique and delicious experience!

Available in the Bierhalle in 6-packs and on draft beginning Tuesday, June 6th, and in select distribution areas in KC and St. Louis.

Never Say IPA

Written by

Sometimes, rules are meant to be broken.
Tradition meets innovation with Never Say IPA, a German interpretation of a classic American India Pale Ale brewed with only water, yeast, malt, and German and American hops. Bursting with citrus aromas, bright and balanced, and with a crisp, clean finish.
