Utepils Broomstacker Red Lager

Utepils Broomstacker Red Lager. 6.0 % ABV. 41 IBU. Utepils Brewing, Minneapolis, MN.

Clear, amber/reddish color, slim white head.

In the nose: Sweet, fruity, malty nose. Just enough hops for balance. Quite delightful.

In the mouth: Crisp, clean, ultra-drinkable. Mostly malty. Moderate hopping. Nicely balanced. Very refreshing. The quintessential good beer and you can drink it.

European red lager brewed for winter enjoyment. Medium, toasty malt body with a balanced crisp finish.

Named for a old tradition in the sport of curling that we think embodies sport as fun. The "skip" or team captain can pause the match by stacking the brooms and during the break, both teams go have a beer together. Doubt you'll see it in matches in the Olympics but we can only hope.
