What I’m Drinking: St. Arnold Fancy Lawnmower Beer
Description
A true German-style Kölsch. Originally brewed in Cologne, this beer is light yet has a sweet malty body that is balanced by a complex, citrus hop character. Multiple additions of German Hallertauer hops are used to achieve this delicate flavor. We use a special Kölsch yeast, an ale yeast that ferments at lager temperatures, to yield the slightly fruity, clean flavor of this beer. Fancy Lawnmower Beer is a world class brew yet light enough to be enjoyed by Texans after strenuous activities, like mowing the lawn.
Saint Arnold Fancy Lawnmower Beer is best consumed at 35-45° Fahrenheit.
Recommended pairings: Blackened fish, salads, & grilled veggies.

Ingredients
Malted Barley: True to style, this beer is brewed with just pale malted barley and a dash of malted wheat. We import the world’s best pils and wheat malts to create the light yet rich malt body.
Hops: We use a single hop variety in this beer: Hallertauer Hallertauer (that is its name, not a typo). Four separate additions to the brew kettle create the delicate flavor and aroma of this classic hop.
