This Vienna Lager is smooth, crisp, malt-balanced, and delicious. It is everything we hoped it would be. Much like Elkton and the Shenandoah Valley was to our family when they decided to settle here. Our family origins go back to Austria, home of the Vienna Lager. The first batch of our family came across the ocean in the early 1900’s, and our grandfather was born shortly after that arrival - becoming the first American-born of our family. To celebrate their new citizenship in this country, our ancestors brewed their own beers and enjoyed them together. This brewery is a continuation of that heritage, and this particular beer is a celebration of that heritage. Here’s to the immigrant heritage that we all share, which ultimately led us to this slice of paradise known as the Shenandoah Valley.

Crowler, four days after purchase:
Medium reddish brown with a little bit of haze and a nice rusty beige head. A barely sweet dark bread comes out in the nose, along with something that has me wondering if I’ll get a little spice in the taste.
First sips deliver on the bread notes from the nose. There is also a sprinkle of light brown sugar, as well - just enough to not be very sweet. Bitterness is balancing and there does seem to be a little spicy side to the beer. For some reason, the beer feels just a little weightier than I expect, and what is coming to me as spice seems to have more of a bite than I expect from the style. But overall, it’s pretty solidly built.
