Local Option Dampf Loc

Dampf Loc is an all-barley warm fermented ale inspired by “Dampfbier” originally crafted by medieval peasant inhabitants of southeast Bavaria’s Black Forest. During the fermentation process generous amounts of foam and surface bubbles burst in the tank, giving the illusion that the ferment is boiling or “steaming.” Local Option Bierwerker took up the task of brewing Dampf Loc as a modern interpretation of its Teutonic predecessor, creating a “Hefe Gerste” that is true to its roots; unmistakable in character yet accessible to beer drinkers of all palates. Dampf Loc has a mild hop profile, medium body with pleasant effervescence and a clear, rich, orange hue.
