Bossman said “Brewers, we needs must have an Amber lager. Make it so!” Thinking of how to make this work in the midst of the world’s longest summer, Jason and John Lee put their beards together and pondered deep before realizing they were going to need to bring in another furry chinstrap for assistance. Enter Klaus von Banderburghen, world renowned astrophysicist, famous for his discovery of Shmoon colonies in the depths of the Mariana trench. With his frail Austrian body melting in the intense heat of the south Texas sun, “Das Leben ist wie ein Kinderhemd--kurz und beschissen!” exclaimed Klaus. Little did we know he’d just discovered a method to make a beer mimic the effect of flash freezing your interior organs in order to lower one’s body temperature back to earthy levels (patent pending). And alas, our Amber Lager was born using Belgian, Munich and amber malts along with lager yeast from our friends at an Austin brewery who live in trees. Malty, but almost excessively smooth and creamy, we crafted this fine beer with love and care for our beloved Overlord and to please your anxious palates.

While we have a thriving, growing homebrew community in Texas and here in San Antonio, we realize not everyone knows the difference between a hydrometer and thermometer.
