NEW WESTMINSTER, BC – Steel & Oak Brewing has announced the release of a limited edition beer brewed in collaboration with adventurous German brewery Freigeist Bierkultur.
During a visit earlier this summer, Sebastian Sauer of Freigeist Bierkultur and the Steel & Oak team crafted a Steinbier, a traditional German lager that is “made by using piping hot granite rocks to boil the wort, instantly caramelizing it and creating a beautifully rich lager with a malt-candy-like finish.”
Steel & Oak/Freigeist Bierkultur Steinbier was released yesterday at the Steel & Oak tasting room, and is being shipped out to select private liquor stores in BC this week. For the full story behind the beer, see the announcement post on the Steel & Oak website.
