Kühnheit Festbier

Name: Kühnheit

Style: Festbier

ABV: Less than 0.5% ABV

Quantity: 4pack/16oz. cans

Description: The German word kühnheit translates to "audacity" in English. And, oh, boy were we freaking audacious when brewing this beer. Big time. So much so that we bent the mold of what a Festbier should be - just a little bit - in order to make this beer special.

We started with a fully traditional festbier water profile and grain bill, but rather than use traditional German hops, we feature the hop Audacia. Exclusively grown in Oregon at Indie Hops, this hop's lineage is sehr gute (very good). The hop is bred from Hersbrucker, a timeless German lager hop, and is also a relative of Strata, which does the heavy lifting in many modern IPAs. In fact, Audacia has also become quite the popular IPA hop itself over the last few years.

With a classic orange hue and bready warmth, the depth of such a light beer is welcoming for sessionable enjoyments. And while this beer would be delicious with a salty pretzel, or a brautwurst with spicy mustard and kraut (yum yum!), you could really pair it with just about anything food wise, and it will shine.

So go out and hunt for a Bavarian beer mug at a thrift store (if you don’t already have one), and make a go of it. Beer purity laws still exist in Deutschland, so they might not let this one in due to our blasphemous hop varietal usage. So keep it stateside and enjoy it with friends.

Prost!

WARNING: similar to many juices, kombucha, and other beverages you'll find in the grocery store, this product has not been pasteurized, and therefore may contain harmful bacteria that can cause serious illness in children, the elderly, and persons with weakened immune systems.

PLEASE NOTE: like other beverage industries have been doing for centuries, we mitigate the potential for bacterial growth in other ways, rather than to pasteurize and destroy the nuanced flavors that make our beer stand out from many pasteurized non-alcoholic beer offerings, though we do acknowledge pasteurization is the most effective way to inhibit bacterial growth, or potential for refermentation in the can. Risk may be exacerbated by prolonged warm storage, so to mitigate risk, always cold-store Self Care immediately upon receipt, and avoid exposure to extreme heat.
