Smoked Beer

Smoked Beer, or Rauchbier in German tradition, is characterized by its distinctive smoky aroma and flavor derived from the use of malts dried over open flames. The style originated in Bamberg, Germany, where brewers traditionally dried their malt over beechwood fires, imparting a smoky character that can range from subtle to intense. While the German versions often follow a Märzen base, modern craft interpretations use various base styles from porter to wheat beer.
