Free State The Schwartz Free State Brewing Company Lawrence, Kansas
Beer style: Schwarzbier / Black Lager Ref: ratebeer.com May2024
Common descriptors are A play on Mel Brooks Star Wars-spoofing of "The Force", this dark, almost black, lager plays as an amped-up version of a classic German Schwarzbier (Black Beer). Slightly hoppier and more roasty, The Schwartz has a coffee-like character from Chocolate Rye and maltiness from Melanoidin, Munich, and Aromatic malts. Vanguard and Czech Saaz hops provide the spicy hop character. |
