KC Bier Schwarzbier

Schwarzbier, a black lager, is the darkest of all German-style biers (schwarz means “black” in German). Decoction mashing with 100% imported Munich and Pilsner malt in addition to de-husked roasted barley malt produces rich malt flavors of roasted coffee and chocolate, while 100% imported Perle hops from Seitz Farm in Bavaria’s famous hop-growing Hallertau Valley impart moderate bitterness to balance the rich malt character. Weeks of cold lagering with pure Bavarian lager yeast from Andechs, a German monastery brewery, creates a crisp, clean finish. This bier is naturally carbonated by CO2 produced during fermentation and conditioning.
