Metropolitan Generator

This beer is one of our rare steps away from tradition, and toward creation. Arc Welder is a mash-up of the dark beer from Munich known as Dunkel lager, and a rye-based beer originally brewed in Bavaria called Roggenbier. We started with a dark lager recipe, and then replaced 26% of the base malt with rye malt. The goal was to showcase the soft sweetness of toasted malt with the dry spice of rye malt. The result is a perfectly autumnal beer that celebrates both styles while absolutely identifying as Metro.
