Crosby's Kitchen & CocktailI-35 Lager

To celebrate American Craft Beer Week, KC Bier Co. and Wichita Brewing Company collaborated on a recipe for a Session IPL named I-35 Lager. The recipe was brewed at both breweries by a combined team of brewers from KC and Wichita. KCBC contributed its German lager yeast and Perle hops for bittering. WBC supplied American Amarillo, Centennial, and Cascade hops for late-kettle and dry hopping. Bier Co. and WBC used the same style of Pilsner, Vienna, and Melanoidin malts but from different Bavarian maltsters. The result is a crisp session lager with soft biscuit and caramel malt flavors, noble bitterness, and citrus and floral hop aromas.
