Happy 7th birthday to Kobe! This beer was specially brewed as part of a longstanding tradition of supplying FBC beer for the Ruiz boys’ birthday celebrations. A well intentioned lower ABV Vienna lager was chosen for the 2022 beer however rather than being an easy drinking 5%-er this mofo didn’t want to stop fermenting and so it clocks in at a stout 7.0% making this a…”double”? An “imperial”? A “strong”? – Vienna lager??? So, you’ve seen it here first, and be prepared for this new trendy beer style to surface at your local trendy brewery – the strong imperial Vienna lager! It may finish slightly drier than anticipated but does still retain those Vienna lager characteristics – sweet malty aroma with a rich malty/biscuity/caramel flavor, appropriately carbonated and with a bright amber clarity – and will knock you on your ass due to its drinkability, so enjoy (ir)responsibly. Happy birthday to the Kobster from FBC!
