Historical beers tonight at Brauhaus Schmitz

POSTED: Tuesday, July 3, 2012, 12:39 PM

Is it a little too early to be thinking about beer? Well, considering the blazing heat and impending holiday, we're going to go with no.

Tonight Brauhaus Schmitz is hosting Sebastian Sauer of Freigeist brewery in Cologne. Translating to free spirit, the experimental brewery's goal is to bring back long forgotten styles of German beer. If your knowledge of German beer is limited to blah Becks, this event is sure to broaden your bier horizons.

Sauer will be on hand to answer all German beer related queries and Brauhaus will be tapping four rarely seen on these shores beers from Freigeist: Abraxxxas, a sour wheat beer, Hoppeditz, a smoky Alt-style, Ottekolon, an unfiltered Kölsch, and Pimock, a wheat beer with a whole lotta hops.
