Next up for experimental beers at 7 Balls this weekend is Dunk Tank, our take on a classic German beer, the Munich Dunkel.
The Dunkel (“dark” in German) was the original style of beer in Bavaria, predating modern pale lagers. With its malt-forward profile, deep ruby-brown color and smooth drinkability, it offers a dark beer experience that is lighter than a stout or porter.
We start with a majority of Munich malt to establish the rich, bready, caramel base and then use specialty malts to add some nuttiness and light notes of chocolate. Paired with German noble hops and fermented with German yeast, it’s then lagered for several weeks before being ready to serve.
So, stop in and raise a glass of one of our favorite Old World styles with us; who knows, maybe this will inspire the 7 Balls crew to make the trip to experience Oktoberfest where it started!
(Wearing lederhosen isn’t required, but is absolutely encouraged! 🤣)
Prost! 🍻
*A small change with the experimental beers; no growlers-to-go, only in-house consumption so that more folks get to try them
