Fresh Craft Beer from our Bottle Shop and Taproom:
With Oktoberfest almost upon us, we’re excited to bring back our famous pale golden Lager, with a frothy white head. Our new German Pilsner for 2024 leads with grainy pilsner malt notes and spicy herbal hop flavours pleasantly intermingling, before a dry and bitter finish encourages another sip.
For this recipe, we are using the Hallertauer Blanc hops selected at Florian’s Hersbrucker farm in Germany, during the last harvest. The Hallertau region, located just north of Munich, produces about 1/3rd of the world's hops, focusing primarily on the older landrace varieties such as Mittlefrüh and Hersbrucker. Within the region there are nearly 900 hop farms varying in size from 10 hectares up to 120 or so. (this is all in stark contrast to the Pacific North West of America where farms regularly reach the 1000 hectare mark!).
The Hallertau is a gently undulating mixture of forest, corn fields and pocket after pocket of hop farms, each neatly nestled just so. The farmers we met during our trip last year were the latest in their lineage to take hold of the hop batten with their families' connection dating back 300+years to the world of hops on those very same fields.
