Highland Park Brewery Vienna Amber Lager

This is the original amber lager. Nearly extinct in its area of origin, the style continues in Mexico where it was brought by Santiago Graf and other Austrian immigrant brewers in the late 1800s. The style owes much of its character to the method of malting (Vienna malt). Lighter malt character overall than Oktoberfest, yet still decidedly balanced toward malt. We use a “Spunding Valve” which allows for natural carbonation. This helps create a “finer” carbonation and more velvety texture to the beer. Has notes of cracker and Brioche toast, and perfect for the season. 5.0% abv
