SMOKED BEER PRESERVATION DAY 🔥🍺

This Thursday, July 23, we’re celebrating a smoked-beer tradition more than 500 years old with seven rauchbiers on draught.

Before modern smoke-free kilns, malt was dried over open fires, naturally carrying smoke into the finished beer. Most breweries eventually left that flavor behind, but a handful kept the tradition alive.

ON DRAUGHT:

1. Brauerei Eichhorn Rauchbier: A classic Bamberg-style smoked lager.

2. Freigeist Bierkultur Grätzer: A revival of a historic Polish style brewed with 100% smoked wheat malt. Just 3.3%, but packed with character and 60 IBUs from Polish hops.

3. Brauerei-Gasthof Kundmüller Weiherer Rauch: A classic Franconian smoked beer from the countryside surrounding Bamberg.

4. Brauerei Rittmayer Rauchbier: A traditional Franconian rauchbier balancing smoke, malt and easy drinkability.

5. Brauerei Spezial Lager: An elegant, rustic and highly drinkable smoked lager from a Bamberg brewery founded in 1536. Spezial is one of the few breweries that never stopped smoking its own malt.

6. Brauerei Spezial Märzen: A darker, stronger and fuller-bodied beer with a deeper, more complex smoke profile.

7. Aecht Schlenkerla Lentbeer: An unfiltered, reddish-brown smoked lager from Bamberg’s historic Schlenkerla brewery, with rich malt, gentle bitterness and plenty of smoke.

Come drink more than 500 years of brewing history!

Living Häus Beer Co aims to brew clean, intentional, and curious beers in our brewery. Our menu features exploratory yet refined versions of classic and upcoming styles such as Lager, Pilsner, IPA, Pale Ales, more Pilsner, and everything in between. We strive to use unique and expressive hand selected malts and hops from the best growing regions in the world. Also, no dipshits allowed. 

Pouring:

• Jello - American IPA collab w/ Cellarmaker - 6.8% Connor, one of our oldest pals, came up from the Bay area to brew this hella tight IPA with us. Using both our hand selected lots of Simcoe, Mosaic, Amarillo, Simcoe Cryo, and Mosaic Cryo gives us one of our most aromatic beers to date. Blueberry juice, fruity pebbles, pineapple, and peach skins are abundant in this beer. California, Über alles!

• Dolores - German Pilsner - 4.8% Dolores is our beloved Häus Pilsner beer, brewed in honor of Mat’s Abuelita. This beer has a simple malt bill of Prairie Select pilsner malt which is layered with precise amounts of Tettnang and Hallertau Mittlefruh hops that give it a bright and complex aromatic profile. Our pilsner is spicy and herbaceous with a hint of citrus underneath.

• Marla - Italian Pilsner - 5.2% A blend of German and American grown pilsner and chit malts work in harmony with Spalter Select and American Krush hops hops to create a light bodied and aromatic beer. Red berry, rose petal and citrus notes are prevalent in this slightly hoppy pilsner. Reminiscent of raspberry tea!

• Agnes - Kolsch - 5.1% Pilsner and malted wheat create a light bodied beer while our favorite Kolsch yeast, German Tradition, and Calista hops provide a subtle stone fruit note to this delicate beer. Named after our pal Shelby’s Grandma. Serve in stange glasses whenever possible. 

• Mr. Mercury - Bohemian Pilsner - 4.9% We couldn’t get more traditional if we tried, and we did with this beer! This pilsner has a biscuity and bready malt profile that is balanced by the noble hop aroma of only the finest Saaz hops. A rigorous decoction process gives this beer its unique flavor profile.

• Brü - American IPA - 6.8% To celebrate our ten year old pups birthday we took the knowledge from the last few years of IPA experimentation and came up with a stellar combination of hops, malt, process and a little love. Simcoe, Simcoe Cryo, Nelson, Idaho 7, Mosaic, Mosaic Dynaboost, and Nelson Amplifire oils are carefully layered over a bed of pilsner, 2 row, and white wheat malts in this beer. White grape, blueberry, pink grapefruit, and hints of tangy Sauvignon Blanc are found in this incredibly aromatic beer.

• Jose - Noble IPA - 6.5% Last September, Mat was invited out to Germany to select European hops for the brewery with Hollingberry Hop Suppliers, which we buy all of our Lager hops from. While there, he fell in love with Arianna, a newer German grown hop variety. This noble hop has just a touch of classic floral and herbal notes, but is bursting with guava, passionfruit, and dark fruit notes. The team paired this hop with Strata and Citra for a delicious IPA with big tropical aromas and a fruit juice and mellow cannabis finish.

From the edge of eastern Austria, near the Hungarian border and the shores of Lake Neusiedl, Meinklang has become one of the defining wineries of the modern natural wine movement.

But Meinklang is more than a winery. It’s a fully biodynamic farm. The Michlits family raises cattle, grows grains, fruit, vegetables, and grapes together as one living ecosystem. The cows on the label are not branding. They are part of the philosophy. Compost from the farm feeds the vineyards, biodiversity is prioritized, and the wines are made with as little intervention as possible.

The result is wine that feels alive, energetic, and deeply connected to place.

For one night at Bock, we’ll be pouring a special Meinklang flight featuring three wines that showcase different sides of the winery’s approach:

• •2024 “Epic” Sparkling (Grüner Veltliner, Muscat, Welschriesling)

• 2024 Grüner Veltliner

• 2024 “Mulatschak” Rot

$15 for the 3-wine flight.
All wines also available by the glass and bottle.

If you’re curious about natural wine, Meinklang is one of the best places to start. Thoughtful farming, minimal intervention, and wines meant as much for conversation and community as analysis.
