The name of this bottom-fermented beer is an allusion to the historical brick façade of our malthouse in Bamberg, from the turn of the 20th century. In the glass, this lager has a sturdy, white head which releases a dominant but delicate bouquet of caramel with mild notes of honey and cotton candy. These flavors stem from the addition of hot bricks to the brew kettle. Malt sugars then caramelize on the bricks. Once cooled, the bricks go into the fermenter, where the sugars dissolve to enhance the beer’s maltiness. In the finish, the beer’s residual sweetneess is balanced by fruity hop notes of pear and peach.
The Weyermann®’s Red Brick Lager is full-bodied and pairs well with roasted game or poultry, as well as light desserts and soft cheeses such as Camembert and Brie.
