Isthmus Brewing Co. has created a unique and captivating Rauchbier called Hot Rod. This smoky lager was inspired by none other than Doug Bell from the popular Hot Rod show, who requested a beer that captured the essence of burnt rubber. The brewers have skillfully blended Munich and Vienna hops with Weihenstephan lager yeast, resulting in a beer that boasts a delightful smoky flavor profile, reminiscent of the high-octane world of hot rods. With an alcohol volume of 5.2%, this Rauchbier is sure to satisfy the cravings of beer enthusiasts seeking a bold and distinctive drinking experience.
