This Bavarian brew is very clean with subtle hop undertones. Steinmadchen is of a St. Pauli Girl style being slightly less bitter. A Beck's style beer is a nice spring/summer drink for picnics.

An excellent choice to team up with Timberline, (our Guinness Stout), and create a Black and Tan. This is an excellent choice for a more flavorful lager.

Hirschgarten Marzen $27.50

Our version of the original Oktoberfestbeir is a nice deep mahogany color with a pleasant malty sweetness. This Marzen has a fine relationship between its color, aroma and palate. In addition to traditional Halletau hops this recipe also uses Galena and Cluster hops for a more pronounced hop character.

Styled after the German lagers, with a nice malty nose and well hopped. Gold malt extract, cara-pils, munich malt, hops and a lager yeast.
