The beer scouts are kicking off 2019 with an introduction to one of the more obscure and exotic of traditional German beer styles – smoked lager, or “rauchbier.” Fortunately for us, we didn’t have to travel all the way to Bavaria to find delicious locally-brewed rauchbier, as Bierkeller Columbia (of Columbia, SC) has been serving steins of their fantastic rauchbier at pop-up biergartens around the state capital since 2015! For this episode, we decided to let Bierkeller’s rauchbier go frothy head-to-head against the world famous Aecht Schenkerla Rauchbier, considered by many to be the definitive rendition of the style. We also picked up a krowler of Bierkeller’s rustic Kellerbier lager to wash down all this smoky goodness and keep our palates fresh! Featuring: Bierkeller Columbia’s Rauchbier and Kellerbier, Aecht Schenkerla Marzen Rauchbier, and Zwonitzer Rauchbier.
