- Gold Medal Winner
This is my first gold medal beer, in my second competition. I have been working with this recipe in some form since I began brewing. It was originally extract, but no longer really resembles the Black Lager of the past. Hops used were only because I couldn't get anything German, but they turmed out fantastic, and are in the Hallertau family. This is a very rounded schwarzbier, not quite as roasty as some American examples, but very similar to something like Kostritzer, with a bit more body.
