Description Munich Germany is famous for its light and dark lagers. The water in Munich makes these brews famous. We begin our own calendar with a dark (the Stoudts will be an example of the light Munich lager). According to the Church Brew Works own beer menu: "This dark style lager was first brewed in Munich Germany over 150 years ago. Our version is fairly dark in color, but don’t be afraid, the body is surprisingly mellow and the alcohol content is a bit lower. It has a wonderfully clean and roasty aroma and finishes crisp and clean as a lager should.

By the way, this is one of my personal favorite brews. If you're ever wondering what to buy me for birthday or Christmas or any other holiday, remember this.
