HISTORY:
Rauchbier (German for “smoke beer”) is a German-style beer brewed with smoked malt. It can be any style, but most commonly it is a medium-strength lager.As the legend goes, much of the cloister in a medieval town was destroyed by a fire, but part of the brewhouse, including a good amount of malt, had been spared.The malt, however, had been exposed to the smoke from the nearby fire and picked up this special flavor, which made the beer famous.
