Schlenkerla is slang for gammy leg. The original owner had a twisted walk. He’s on the label ! Rauch means smoke.

The Original Schlenkerla Smokebeer's smokey palate and aroma is achieved by kilning the barley malt over burning beechwood logs. This is a tradition carried on only in the Bamberg area in Franconia and is similar to an Islay whisky in palate. Rauchbier, the region of Franconia, and more especially the area around Bamberg has traditionally persisted in malting barley over fire, usually made with fuel from the local beech woods. An eccentric style has developed but is a lager style beer from one of the oldest brewing towns.

Tasting: Schlenkerla Rauchbier Weizen has a basil, bacon and smoke aroma; neutral taste with lemon, clove, ginger and wheat aromas; bitter finish with bacon, basil, cloves and yeast. A very unusual, but outstanding, beer.

Food Pairings: Barbecue and German Cuisine, Peppery and Sharp Cheese, Beef, Smoked Meat, Game, Grilled Meat, Salmon, spicy christmas cake.
