Kellerbier / Zwickelbier

Kellerbier/Zwickelbier is an unfiltered German lager originating from Franconia, characterized by its naturally cloudy appearance and fresh, malty flavor profile. It's typically served directly from the lagering vessel, preserving its yeast content and resulting in a fuller body with pronounced bread and dough notes. Traditional Kellerbiers use German malts, noble hops, and are less carbonated than typical lagers due to their serving method.
