GRODZISKIE Release Day

GRODZISKIE Release Day

Join us for the release of Grodziskie with a gravity keg tapping at 5pm!

Cool and refreshing, this soft summer beer goes down nice and easy. Pale straw in color, with a spirited effervescence, Grodziskie is the specialty beer of its namesake town in Poland. More carbonated than Hefeweizen and lower in alcohol (3.8%), this 100% smoked wheat beer features light, citrus-like overtones with just a surprising hint of spice and smoke in the backnotes.

Also at our Franconian Beer Hall, we’ll also showcase a couple of the region's delicacies with our friends at Beard and Belly: The Coburger Bratwurst (we first grilled these up at our Holiday Market last year) and the Bamberg-style onion.

Saison Release Day

Saison Release Day

Join us for the release of Saison with a gravity keg tapping at 5pm!

A straightforward nod to the Hainaut stalwart that captivated American brewers and beer drinkers when it arrived in the US in the 1980s. Brewed with 100% Pilsner malt, French Strisselspalt and Hallertau Blanc hops, and an expressive Belgian yeast strain, this beer is a rustic expression of straw and hat, grass and white grape aromas, while open-fermentation nurtures the notes of bubblegum and black pepper. A bright and dry beer for the new season.

Hopfenweisse Release Day

It’s been a couple, two, tree years since we last brewed this hoppier version of our Hefeweizen. With nearly 15kg of hops going into our coolship for an additional hopping, it gives the Easter Bunny some competition. For this Spring 2025 version of Hopfenweisse, we showcase the punchy combination of Comet (grapefruit), Nelson Sauvin (Gooseberry), and Idaho 7 (Papaya). Join us at 5pm for a gravity keg tapping!
