Wayward Lane cofounder and head brewer Adam Rosenthal shares this recipe for the Franconian-inspired lager that we at Craft Beer & Brewing named among our best of the year.
He describes it as “an incredibly well-rounded beer that delivers an impeccable balance between layered malt character and firm herbal and floral hop notes. This beer aims to mimic the characterful lagers of Germany’s Franconia region.”
