BlackStack Thätz Kölsch Bier (or is it Thätz Bier Kölsch?)

BlackStack Thätz Kölsch Bier (or is it Thätz Bier Kölsch?)

4.4% ABV. BlackStack Brewing, St. Paul, MN. Collaboration with Bricksworth Beer Co. 


Clear, bright golden hue, slim white head. 

In the nose: lightly hopped, slightly floral, delicate notes of citrus, apples, pear, lovely stuff. 

In the mouth: Crisp and clean, light bodied, just enough hop bitterness for balance and flavor. Fruity notes are at play on the palate, hopping off the tongue, delighting and refreshing at once. Plenty of flavor here to make it all worthwhile. I bet this would be great with pizza...

(...and I'm happy to be drinking something from BlackStack that's not a murky mess.)

We’ve had Kölsch on the brain with our fam at Bricksworth Beer Co., so we brewed up this preposterously approachable beer inspired by the imminently crushable pseudo-“lagers” that have been brewed in Köln, Germany for generations. This version is step mashed with our beloved Weyermann Pils, a kiss of Wheat & German Ale Yeast before cold conditioning for 7 weeks to crispy perfection. That’s Beer, Alright.
