The Royal Rug
German Pilsner
Our brewing system allows us to do decoction brewing, which is rare these days. We're able to move our grain from kettle to mash tun and back, boiling ⅓ of the grain to capture additional flavor, color and aroma. It’s a time-consuming process but well worth it as this spectacular beer accentuates a toastiness that wouldn't be found without it. The Mittelfrüh & Tradition hops provide floral notes with a soft bitterness in this extremely delicate Pilsner.
The can label
Sometimes colors just don't translate from the screen to the printed piece. We played around with the Royal Rug colors a lot in the beginning, and we are still tweaking them to this day. But we always knew this special label would be more colorful than our other shadow cans, and that the background would not be black.
