    5 O’clock Shadow Double Black Lager

    June 19, 2012 - Win Bassett

    Grand Teton takes the traditional German Schwarzbier style and almost “doubles” the ABV to 7.6 percent to create the 5 O’clock Shadow. Despite the beer’s moniker, it pours a dark burgundy with a light-bodied brown head. The aroma brings heavy chocolate and espresso and precedes a surprisingly bitter character for a lager. The mind thinks stout... View Article

    Got Burger?

    July 1, 2011 - Brian Yaeger

    We’re a nation obsessed with burgers. We want ’em bigger, badder and burgerier. The biggest was made at Mallie’s Sports Bar in Southgate, MI, weighing in at 185 pounds, the same as the average American male. The most expensive appears on the menu at Burger Shoppe in NYC for $175 because Kobe beef, black truffles,... View Article

    Schwarzbier

    January 1, 2010 - K. Florian Klemp

    Black beers have been winning over the hearts of craft beer devotees for 30 years now, but until quite recently, stout and porter have dominated the affair. In the past few years though, the unusual black lager known as schwarzbier has been crashing the party with both American microbrews and German originals. Schwarzbier, literally “black...

    Black/Schwarz Beer

    March 1, 2009 - Chad Wulff

    Originally brewed in Thuringia, a state in eastern Germany, these lager -style brews were known to be darker in color than their Munich counterparts. Often relatively full-bodied, rarely under 5 percent ABV, these beers classically feature a bitter chocolate, roasted malt note and a rounded character. Hop accents are generally low. This obscure style was picked up by Japanese brewers and is made in small quantities by all of Japan’s major brewers. Schwarz beers are not often attempted by U.S. craft brewers.
