Strawberry Funnel Cake Shandy?! 🍓🍺 Its a collab with Kennywood Park, and a long time comming. Try this signature delicate summer Drechderkuche brew. It’s the perfect post Thunderbolt ride refresher!
Drechderkuche is the Pennsylvania Dutch name for funnel cake. It's a dialectal variation of the German word "trichter" (funnel), referring to the method of pouring batter through a funnel into hot oil to create the signature shape and texture. Originating with German-speaking immigrants in the 17th and 18th centuries, became a popular treat in Pennsylvania Dutch communities.

Slightly hazy gold with a large white head that left good lacing. Tangy and sweet with artificial sugar and strawberry ice cream. Medium finish and body.

Had this on tap at Penn Brewery Pittsburgh Airport. It pours a clear pale yellow like any other common beer. Very slight real strawberry perfume for the nose. Well, I was expecting some sort of cloying pastry brew but this stuff really blew my mind. Nice tart friendly initial taste. Yummy. Slightly sour & clean. Yes, some strawberry sweetness along with a little waffle cone, but this is nothing to sneeze at, its well balanced and delicious. JMHO. Not cloying at all, leads with a co2 sizzle and cutting palate. Slight warming sensations in the middle. Wow, I'm liking this. Got to be one of the better brews I've had from Penn, and they make some good stuff. Nice job PB! I need to go get a few more of these.
