Tasting Notes

Bring out your kranz because our Popcorn Kolsch is suitable for watching the four-hour-long epic conclusion of your favorite trilogy of trilogies. A bunch of popped popcorn and a touch of grapevine smoked malt adds intrigue to the clean base of a zwickel style kolsch. A slight salt addition keeps you thirsting for more. And no, we are not letting it develop a whole bunch of diacetyl.

Secret Technique

Our brewers pop a big ol’ bag of popcorn on a couple little air poppers. They hate it, other than snacking on the popcorn. By air popping the popcorn, we make sure no oil gets into the beer that would otherwise cause rancid notes in the final beer. This popcorn is added to the mash and adds notes of popcorn to the fairly clean, unfiltered kolsch base beer.
