From Ground Breaker:
The 100% dedicated gluten-free Ground Breaker Brewing is releasing their first lager in a can with the release of Amber Lager on April 1st. At 5% ABV and a modest 21 IBU, Amber Lager is fermented with the famous lager yeast strain from Weihenstephan, Germany. With a malty and clean profile, this lager is highly drinkable.
“As brewers we love German lagers,” said James Neumeister, Head of R&D at Ground Breaker. “It’s been great to see consumers demand more of them in the marketplace.”
To bring their first lager beer to a 16-ounce can package, Ground Breaker had to lean heavily on the knowledge Head Brewer Tyler Kueber has acquired over the years. They also had to marshal all that they’ve learned about rice, buckwheat, and millet malts through their R&D program.
“The entire brewing team put our heads together for this one,” commented Tyler Kueber, Head Brewer at Ground Breaker. “It took a lot of trial and error, but we are very pleased with the final result. We couldn’t be happier to release a lager for our friends and customers.”
Amber Lager will begin shipping to distribution partners in the first week of April, likely to hit store shelves in the succeeding weeks. It will be available for purchase through the Ground Breaker Gastropub as well as for local delivery on April 1st.
