An inheritance preceding the vibrant late-1800's - those years of the growing acceptance of pale golden lagers - the "darks" of Germany have been a goal for many of the emerging brewers of the Pacific Northwest from the late 1900's onwards.
This "Continental" heritage mixes well with the adventurous brewing spirit of North Armerica's newest brewers.
This flavourful beer style is often fairly well hopped and is, in fact, not often as dark as this particular beer's recipe.
Nor'West dark lagers typically have an fine balance of smooth and dark malts and a crisp hop finish, with a subtle aroma.
This style was once the beer of "the continent" - from the high Swiss alps to the Baltic shores - a great transplant to the Pacific Nor'West.
