Farm Table Dortmunder

History & Style:

Sometimes referred to as an Export Lager, the story of Dortmunder beer digs deep into Germany’s brewing past, to the late 1800s and a place called Dortmund. Set in a coal-mining, steel-making region known as the Ruhr Valley, the local, mineral-rich water contributes to the flavour and mouthfeel of this surprisingly substantial lager.

Beau’s Farm Table Series beers are brewed true to style, and easy to enjoy. Their recipes showcase our favourite classic or emerging beer styles from around the world. Beau’s first brewed Dortmunder in 2017 as a limited release for its annual Oktoberfest. The label is a playful eye-in-the-sky illustration of an imaginary city, in which all roads lead to Dortmunder.

Tasting Notes:

Dortmunder pours deep bright gold with a white foam. The aroma offers floral, herbal and malty notes. The flavour delivers balanced grainy cereal sweetness offset by firm hop bitterness. The finish is smooth and clean.

Food Pairings:

Spaghetti alla puttanesca, mushroom and anchovy pizza.
