Rauchbier
Rauchbier is a traditional German beer known for its distinct smoky flavor, which comes from malted barley dried over an open flame. Originating from the city of Bamberg in Franconia, this unique brewing style dates back to the 16th century. The smoke from the burning wood infuses the malt, giving the beer its characteristic aroma and taste.
Typically, Rauchbier is a dark lager, often with a rich, malty sweetness that balances the smokiness. It can be enjoyed in various styles, including Rauchweizen, which incorporates wheat malt, and Rauchbock, a stronger version. This beer is a favorite among those who appreciate bold flavors.
