Microbrewery
in McMinnville,

United States 🇺🇸
Associated Venue: Heater Allen Brewing Co.
Established in 2007
We specialize in producing distinctive all-malt lager and other German and Czech style beers. We use only the finest, most appropriate malts, hops, water and yeast in our beers. While our lagers are similar to those made in Germany and the Czech Republic, they are our own unique interpretation of the style.
Lager beers are fermented at lower temperatures than ale, using yeast that has adapted to cooler fermentations. Low temperature fermentations create fewer “yeasty” aromas, esters, and flavors that are so common in ales. We brew lagers because we enjoy their smooth malty and hoppy character.

16 ounce can from Tavour. Pale gold color is crystal clear. Frothy white head. Aroma of mild smoke and grainy malt. Flavor is light and crisp with a sweet smokiness. Very approachable and eminently drinkable. Underneath the subtle smokiness lies a hint of lemon peel. Dry , herbal hop finish.

This is my 800th Top 50 rating. Also, with this rating, I have now tasted 15 of the top 50 Marzen/Festbiers in the world, including the top four! 16 ounce can from Tavour. Bright copper color is topped by a frothy beige head. Toasted malt aroma is redolent of toffee and earth. Flavor is sweet toasted malt, brewed black tea, toasted nuts and rustic bread. Subtle bitter hops lean toward cut grass and finishes dry.
