Hop & Barrel Brewing sits in the border town of Hudson, Wisconsin, just a hop and a swim across the St. Croix river from Minnesota. There are many Minnesota roots in this Wisconsin brewery. Therefore, the name of this beer and this hideous / beautiful label from DWitt. What's not to love?
Crystal clear, bright gold, slim white head.
In the nose: floral, light hops, slight cereal.
In the mouth: Crisp, clean, light-bodied, and exceptionally refreshing. Just a touch of grainy malt flavor lingers on in the finish, after floating on the palate. This is tasty stuff, indeed. Considerably quaffable.
If light, thirst quenchable, yet flavorful lagers are your thing, go get it. Good helles and you can drink it.
Because Winnesconsin was taken. Made with Briess Synergy Malt, Saphir hops and our house lager yeast strain.
This crisp and easy sipping Helles lager is an ode to the shaky, but oft friendly, bi-state relationship between our two transmogrified bordering states. We aren't always simpatico, but we make it work. Synergy malt is what binds us together. Raise a glass to your friends and enemies alike!
