Sensory Description:

The beer opens with pale malt, fresh bread, subtle honeyed grain, and a gentle floral hop note. The palate is crisp and finely balanced, with restrained malt sweetness giving way to clean bitterness and a dry, refreshing finish. Light citrus and herbal tones add lift without pulling the beer away from its lager core. The overall impression is polished, bright, and highly drinkable, with the snap and clarity that define Bierstadt’s best work.

Producer’s Background:

Bierstadt Lagerhaus is a lager-only brewery in Denver’s RiNo district, founded by Ashleigh Carter and Bill Eye in 2016. The brewery built its reputation around uncompromising German-inspired lager brewing, especially The Slow Pour Pils, and has become a local reference point for patience, technical rigor, and classic beer structure. Rather than chasing novelty, Bierstadt focuses on lagers brewed with discipline and served with attention to detail.

Serving Suggestions:

Serve cold at 4 to 7 degrees Celsius in a Willi Becher, stange, or pilsner glass to emphasize clarity, foam, and crisp refreshment. Pair with pretzels, schnitzel, bratwurst, fried chicken, alpine-style cheese, potato dishes, or simply salty snacks and good company.
