German Beer Recipe Kits

It’s almost impossible to think about Germany without conjuring images of festive biergartens, oompah bands, and, of course, steins overflowing with the bounty of Bavaria’s best brewmasters. It’s no wonder...Germany’s rich culture is intertwined with an even richer heritage of beer and brewing. Stretching back thousands of years, Germanic tribes brewed complex, flavorful ales that would be perfected and commercialized by monastic brewers.

As if that weren’t enough, Germans also invented the practice of lagering, which would one day give us the Pilsner -- the classic, crisp blonde beer style that conquered the world.

From estery, hazy Hefeweizens to perfectly balanced Altbiers, the palest lager to the darkest Dunkelweizen, German beers express an amazing variety of flavors and character that go way beyond Oktoberfest. Every brewer should try their hand at brewing the beers that put Germany on the map and paved the way for today’s dizzying selection of global beer styles.
