▪️Brewer: @NBPTBrewing (Newburyport, MA)
▪️Beer: Das Kölsch
▪️Style: Kölsch Lager
▪️Alc. Content: 5.0% ABV
▪️Food Pairing: Fried Calamari
▪️The Verdict: Es ist Handwerk Bier Mittwoch! Lasst uns bekkommen betrunken! And for all you mono-linguistic peasants out there, that means It's Craft Beer Wednesday! Let's get drunk! Cause let's face it, it's Wednesday, its almost the long weekend and if you're reading this then we know you’ve already mailed it in for the week. After all it is your national obligation to assemble a drinking team and get blacked out off patriotism this weekend so I figured I'd do my part and AT LEAST give you a good beer recommendation that great Gam Gam and the Wolfhauses' could be proud of. Then I thought "that's not very patriotic", but I already made this cool picture so whatever… Deal with it stable boy!
So without further ado, this week's craft beir is "Das Kölsh" a German style pale lager from Newburyport Brewing. As Johann Von Wolfhaus put it "It is the greatest beer in all ze world." Well, it's no Schnitzengiggle, but it’s a solid tribute to a classic style that was made popular in Germany.
NBPT just introduced this to their lineup in April and is making it one of their rotating year round offering and unlike a ZJ, you can probably afford this. I picked up a sixer at The Cottage in Plum Island this Sunday for $9.99. As much as we love hop flavor and aroma, some folks prefer a smoother and lighter tasting beer during the summer months. It checks in at a respectable 5.0% ABV so it is a nice light, summer alternative to the hoppy IPA's and Pale Ale's out there. It has a clean and crisp flavor and not too bitter and all around a solid presentation of a German classic. Or in the words of Barry Badrinath "I wish it were winter so we could freeze it into ice blocks and skate on it and melt it in the spring time and drink it!"
▪️M&F Rating: 7.7
