Smoky George - Rauchbier

An unusual renaissance of smoked beer

Because the malt could only be dried over a fire in the past, most beers at that time were smoked beers The germinated barley takes on the characteristic smoky flavor during kilning over a wood fire, which then migrates into the beer In the post-industrial age, the barley has long been dried in a different way, but there are still numerous breweries that are reviving smoked beer as a real beer specialty

The Rittmayer brewery is one of these breweries and has a real rarity with its Smoky George

Smoky George impresses with its copper-colored, slightly cloudy appearance and creamy head Our taste buds are pampered by a delicate malty sweetness and a unique single malt whiskey note When brewing Smoky George, experts were at work, as you can tell from the very first sip of this subtly composed hop work of art
