What our customers like

Schlenkerla Krausen Unfiltered Lager stands out in the world of craft beer with its intricate brewing technique and historical significance. Originating from Bamberg, Germany, a city renowned for its brewing tradition, the Schlenkerla brewery has been producing exceptional beers since the 1400s. The brewery is famed for its use of smoked malts, and while the Krausen is less intensely smoky than some of its counterparts, it offers a rich, malt-driven flavour that is both complex and accessible.

Brewery Background

Schlenkerla, the brewery behind this exceptional lager, is steeped in history. Established in the 14th century, it has become synonymous with Rauchbier, or smoked beer, a style it has perfected over centuries. The brewery still uses traditional methods, including the unique practice of krausening, to create beers that are both a nod to the past and a hit in the present. This approach has earned Schlenkerla not just a regional but a global following, celebrating its dedication to quality and tradition.

Tasting Notes

  • Appearance: Pours a hazy amber with a robust off-white head that lingers, inviting the first sip.
  • Aroma: The nose is greeted with a bouquet of beechwood smoke, complemented by undertones of earthy wheat and subtle hops.
  • Flavour: Each sip delivers a harmonious blend of smoky notes and malty sweetness, balanced by a hint of herbal hops and a crisp finish.
  • Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied with moderate carbonation, providing a smooth and refreshing mouthfeel.

Food Pairings

Schlenkerla Krausen pairs wonderfully with robust and hearty foods. Its smoky character complements barbecued meats, smoked cheeses, and rich stews. For a traditional pairing, try it with German sausages like bratwurst or with a platter of assorted charcuterie and sharp cheeses, enhancing both the beer and the food.
