Description:
This is a reconstruction of the first Bavarian dark lager, adopted from a recipe circa 1550. It's a barley-only brew, because in 1516 the first version of the German Beer Purity Law took effect, making it illegal to brew with anything other than water, barley and hops. Technology at the time dictated floor-malting and inhomogeneous direct-fired kilning, which we're replicating by using a combination of malts ranging from pale to roasted, and a good portion of smoked malt.
