This week's feature is sure to point you in the right direction - its the Agonic Line Vienna Lager from our local brewery, Escutcheon!
Before we talk beer, let's talk navigation (the kids around here are back in school today, so why not?). Back before we used our GPS to get around, people used maps & compasses. The needle on a compass is influenced by the earth’s magnetic field, which causes it to line up with magnetic north. Maps, on the other hand, are typically oriented to the North Pole, which is truth north. These two norths aren't always the same, and you have to account for the difference between the two (or the declination) when you're using your compass alongside your map. There are, however, some places where the two norths ARE the same, such as in the middle of Mississippi. That imaginary line where true north & magnetic north are the same is called the Agonic Line.
So when our friends at Escutcheon crafted a beer that was incredibly smooth and unwavering, they aptly named it after the Agonic Line. This is a true-to-style Vienna Lager that has a perfect combination of ingredients. Malty aroma and sweetness are achieved with a combination of domestic and imported malts, with subtle bitterness from noble hop strikes in the kettle. This one will steer you in the right direction every time!
5% ABV & 22 IBU's
Hallertauer and Tettnanger hops; Pilsner, Vienna and Munich malts.
