We brewed this with local Skagit Valley Francin European lager malt, rolled oats, and buckwheat. To take it deeper into german authenticity, the kettle and mash were boosted with the premium sour wort. This malt made acidification is a mandatory addition and rheinheitsgebot in Germany. What does all this mumbling mean? It mean’s we’re trying to make an honest voyage into NA Kolsch. We’re not some rich fat cats trying to catch the eyes of private equity firms, or doing it because it’ll fill out the interests section on our LinkedIn account. We just want to make the most authentic tasting non-alcoholic versions of beer that we can. Enjoy.
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.
