Fire Brick is a quintessential American interpretation of the Vienna Lager, presenting a brilliant reddish-amber hue reminiscent of the brewery's historic boilers. August Schell Brewing Co. utilizes a complex blend of four specialty malts to create a soft, toasty foundation with an elegant bready richness. The hop profile is artfully balanced, featuring the spicy and herbal notes of Hallertau and Vanguard, while a delicate touch of Chinook provides a crisp, clean counterpoint to the subtle malt sweetness. This all-malt lager strikes a perfect harmony between drinkability and artisanal character, offering a refreshing, smooth experience that finishes clean and moderately dry.
