NEW WESTMINSTER, BC – Steel & Oak Brewing has announced the return of a limited edition beer developed in collaboration with adventurous German brewery Freigeist Bierkultur.
Last summer, Sebastian Sauer of Freigeist 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.” Sauer was back in the area earlier this summer, and visited Steel & Oak once again to brew another batch.
Steel & Oak x Freigeist Bierkultur Steinbier was released yesterday at the Steel & Oak tasting room, with bottles shipping now to select private liquor stores in BC.
For the full story behind the beer, see the announcement post on the Steel & Oak website.
