Yomp’s job at our brewery is to provide solid comfort and cheer. He inspired this beer based on an ancient style originating in the rural forests outside Munich, an all-barley ale fermented on traditional German wheat beer yeast. Fruity and quaffable, its yeast-derived pear and banana notes sit on a malty base with a sweet, bready undertone. A light bitter note at the end makes for a crisp finish. Prost!

Contemplate Grapes stars local, organic Chardonnay grapes. They give a vinous quality to the aroma, with notes of pear, mango, and citrus. Fermentation on the grape skins created moderate tannins which add heft and dryness. The grapes’ acidity lends balance and maintains the refreshing finish. With time, this variation may evolve more complex fermentation characteristics due to native yeasts on the grapes themselves.
