Dunkel

A light bodied clean dark lager.

Dark beer existed in Bavaria long before light beer. This was the first type of beer to be brewed at Hofbräuhaus when it was founded. Today, when beer-lovers all over the world talk about dark beer, they usually mean a Munich style beer. Today, Hofbräu Dunkel - the archetypal Bavarian beer - is still as popular as ever. With its alcoholic content of around 5.5% volume and its spicy taste, it’s a refreshing beer that suits all kinds of occasion. A beer in the traditional Munich style!

Voted Kansas City's Best Local Lager in 2019 and 2020 in The Pitch's "Best of KC Awards," Dunkel is a highly drinkable medium-bodied Munich-style brown lager. Decoction mashing with 100% imported, German-grown Munich and Pilsner malt give Dunkel its rich malt flavors of caramel and toasted bread crust. A modest amount of Perle hops grown in Bavaria's famous Hallertau Valley provide low bitterness, while its clean, smooth finish comes from weeks of cold lagering with pure lager yeast from Andechs, a Bavarian monastery brewery.

First brewed by the Benedictine monks in the mid 12th century, Dunkel beers were further enhanced by the 1516 Reinheitsgebot which decreed that beer could be made only from barley, hops, and water. The style has continued its evolution over the last 200 years. Our modern version is highly sessionable and delivers a deep, full Munich malt character with only slight bitterness, making it the perfect cold weather companion. When the nights are chilly or you want a full-bodied beer for the game, you can't miss with a Slam Dunkel!

Dawn of the Dunkel is a collaboration with Weyermann malt, brewed exclusively with Weyermann malted barley. This is a reconstruction of the first Bavarian dark lager, adapted from a recipe circa 1550. Technology at the time dictated floor-malting and inhomogeneous direct-fired kilning, which we’re duplicating by using a combination of malts ranging from pale to roasted, and a good portion of smoked malt. Dawn of the Dunkel has lots of chocolate roasted notes, underlying smoke, and a sweet dry finish.
