This intensely flavorful and bright copper ale incorporates Weyermann Barke Pilsner malt as its foundation and a touch of German crystal malt to produce deep rich malt aromas, fermented warm, like an ale, and then matured cold to create an extremely pleasant “lagerlike crispness,” that even Jeff would approve of.

With smooth, rich flavorful notes of toffee, fresh baked bread, hints of honey, and subtle underlying esters of dark fruit, this refreshingly clean specialty beer inspired by those found in Düsseldorf has arrived in SE Portland to be enjoyed by lager and ale fans alike!

“Here a bean, there a bean, everywhere a mean, mean bean, chug – a – lug – o – my Coffee – mug, mug, mug, mug.” 

This newest beer to come out of the Garageland Series has not changed much since scoring an impressive 41/50 at the 2008 Oregon Brew Crew Fall Classic homebrew competition. Brewed using the finest Maris Otter (No. 19), caramunich, chocolate and black malts, this version however features an addition of Stumptown Cold Brewed, enhancing and adding notes of dark chocolate and roastness reminiscent of chocolate covered espresso bean.
