Our latest Scratch Beer creation represents our interpretation of a traditional dunkel (German for “dark”) beer. Originally developed in Bavaria, the Dunkel Lager is generally regarded as the world’s oldest true beer style. Keeping our roots in traditional German brewing in mind, but giving a nod to our more exploratory instincts, Scratch #132 is a refreshing, slightly gentler take on the style. The use of Chocolate and Munich malts coupled with noble hops results in a smooth, rich, and complex lager. Scratch #132 combines a slightly dry chocolate note and bready sweetness with the roundness and crisp character of a classic lager, but without the heaviness of other dark beer styles such as porters or stouts. Prost!
