Wood-Conditioned German-Style Helles
Memoria – Single decocted, Old World German-style helles; lagered in wood for 3 months, and gently carbonated naturally via krausen.
In October of 2018, we brewed a batch of Marie—our single-decocted, unfiltered, German-style Helles—and lagered a portion of it at 3º Celsius, as we have with Poetica, in our now cherished French oak puncheon. After three months of conditioning, we moved the beer to stainless steel and krausened with fresh-fermenting Mary to provide natural carbonation.
Following more than a month of slow, gentle carbonation, we now proudly pour for you an elevated expression of Marie, one that demonstrates our progressive pursuit for refinement while honoring and ennobling the most inspiring elements of classical brewing tradition.
Soft. Sincere. Simple.

Draft at the brewery taproom. Pours mostly clear gold with a huge, foamy, pure white head. Lovely biscuity character, light bitter straw, hay. Light bodied with fine, massaging carbonation. Clean, crisp finish, more gorgeous, true fresh biscuit character, soft balancing bitterness. Beautiful beer.

Served in a mug. Very hazy well not milkshake hazy. Just beautiful unfiltered haze. 4 finger dense creamy frothy head the aroma is great. Bread dough, table sugar, syrup banana, wheat and yeast. Maybe some kind of mulch aroma. Great mouthfeels with this excellent sweet fresh sugar cane sweetness. It lingers with earthy oak and mulch and sugar very close to wort. Banana bread, black tea and apple. This is really close to a great fresh European lager that we cant get here. Transporting these beers a thousand miles ruins them. It’s nice
