A brief intro to Black Lager.
Usually known as Schwarzbier black lagers originated in Germany as long ago as the 1300s. So, while they may be popping up as the new kids on the block they are steeped in history and tradition.
As the lager name suggests Shwarzbiers are made using a cool fermentation method, which classes them as lager, though historically warm fermentation was used. ABV wise they usually range from 4.5% to 5.5% and get their dark colour from the use of particularly dark roasted malts.
Present-day eastern Germany has many unique varieties of this style from many regional breweries.
