ATTENTION: travel-thirsty Tavoursters! 

Today's crisp sipper from Brouwerij West was inspired by a brew style that rarely finds its way outside of Germany — the Kellerbier!

Like the classic style, Popfuji has all the easy-drinking refreshment of a well-made Lager, but because it’s unfiltered, it’s far more flavorful. The malts shine brightly, accentuated by a slight, yeasty tang. 

A touch of classic German Noble Hops add nuances of lemon zest and fragrant floral notes that jive across the palate. 

With each sip, I imagine I’m perched at a wooden table in a Munich pub, surrounded by jovial Germans enjoying enormous mugs of this hazy, bright-yellow brew.

But instead of jaunting off to Europe, I’m sampling this classic German-style beer from the comfort of home (with my lederhosen on, of course). 

*Brewbound calls Brouwerij West one of SoCal’s best!
