Lager Series: Myth of Permanence 005 Schwarzbier
The fifth in a monthly series of limited-releases showcasing various lager styles and, of course, meditating on the transience of all things. For this month’s Myth of Permanence Lager, we worked with our friends at Poor Romeo to bring you a delicious Black Lager. Crisp and clean, with chocolatey roasted malts and 6.0% ABV, this beer is purr-fect for February. Cute cats and delicious beer, what more do you need?
This schwartzbier is a winner – and we aren’t kitten around! Featured on the can is Fig, and just like Fig, this beer won’t sit still for long. There is only a limited quantity so, while you might want this beer to stick around forever, it won’t.
