At 5.1% ABV, this Rauchbier embodies Franconian brewing heritage and delivers a flavour unlike any other lager. As part of our German Beer collection, it represents a bold and authentic choice for those seeking craft beer Dublin or ordering craft beer online.

The word “Rauchbier” translates to “smoke beer,” and this Märzen-style lager achieves its signature profile from malts smoked over beechwood logs in the brewery’s traditional kilns. The result is a beer that balances smoky richness with a smooth, malty backbone, creating harmony between bold flavours and drinkability.
