1516 was brewed to honor the 500th anniversary of the Germany Beer Purity Law - Reinheitsgebot. We used traditional German brewing practices and processes as a gently smoked Bavarian Kellerbier, slightly hazy with bready malt and a clean finish. Well balanced and complex, the beer drinks well alone or with food.

Draft/Fest. A- Bland, subtle smoke, grains. A- Copper color, clear liquid, white head. T- Smoke. P- Medium body, average texture, average carbonation, smokey finish. O- Lots and lots of smoke. The nose is pretty minimal but the taste is pure campfire smoke. Not bad just needs something to balance out that smokiness.
