Grazias is a mash-up of the second largest city in Austria, Graz and our second favorite word in the Spanish language, gracias. A twist on the old-world classic Vienna lager, our signature beer is smooth, malty and perfectly balanced with Noble hops. It has a creamy, smooth texture, and the malt contributes chocolate, vanilla and slightly toasted flavors that play off the German hops for a sublime flavor and a surprisingly dark color. See why the New York Times says “...the Vienna cream ale, Grazias, was unlike anything else I tasted that weekend, gently nut-toasty but refreshing all the same.”
