Another collaboration with our pals at Chicago Culinary Kitchen, this golden lager features both German beechwood-smoked malt and malt smoked by hand in CCK’s kitchen in Palatine. The beer is fascinating - your first sips will be smoke forward, with hints of campfire and sweet BBQ tang, but as your palate adjusts, the malty sweetness of the Helles begins to assert itself and balances the smokey vibes.
