Batch from 2/12/25 HARK! THE VIENNA MAN COMETH! “Color Me a Vienna Man” is our annual collab with Late Start Brewing, and we all just love this beer way too much to not be over the moon about it. "Color Me a Viennaman" started off with a base of 100% RiverbendMalt comprised of Vienna, Malted Oats, Pilsner, and Munich Malts. We did adjust the malt bill a tad to lighten it up this time around, and it resulted in a significantly higher drinkability while maintaining the same malt character as before. It was then gently kissed with Tettnang hops before being fermented low and slow with our House Lager Yeast and then being spunded for natural carbonation. We definitely hit it with a mix of approaches from both breweries, and laid it down to rest in one of our Lager Tanks for maximum clarity and crispness. Waves of rich malt character make way for a medium-bodied wall of nutty, toasted wheat bread slathered in honey, a forest trail laden with morning dew, and just a touch of spicy hop presence on the finish. Definitely imminently more crushable and balanced than ever before. Maximum Chippy Boi™ character in this one, y’all. We couldn’t be happier with this iteration and continued subtle tweaks on this beer! Did we mention that we also love the Late Start crew?! We can’t wait for their official opening soon!
