Gunpowder Falls Brewing is dedicated to brewing true, authentic German style lagers. The brewery uses the same pure, natural ingredients and brewing techniques forged by the top German Braumeisters for hundreds of years. In fact, other than the fresh local ​ ​ spring water, most of the raw materials used are imported from special sources in Bavaria which is a key factor contributing to the authenticity of the beer styles produced. While most American craft breweries these days are attempting to create wild and adventurous ales such as double IPA's and hopped up fruit infused concoctions, Gunpowder Falls Brewing differentiates itself by remaining one of a few “lager” only craft breweries, brewing variations of traditional German style beers. Additionally, Gunpowder Falls Brewing does not brew dozens and dozens of different beers. Gunpowder Falls Brewing has a handful of distinct styles of beers it produces. Each time a new style is introduced it can take several months to over a year before a final recipe is settled upon. Like anything of quality, It takes time to perfect an exceptional beer. This slow meticulous process also ensures that the brewery ultimately can reproduce each style consistently batch after batch so that the consumer gets the same product each and every time. Staying true to the German theme, all beers produced at Gunpowder Falls Brewing are brewed according to the Reinheitsgebot (German Purity Law of 1516). The Reinheitsgebot states that only water, malt and hops may be used in brewing beer. (Yeast was later added after the discovery of its existence by Louis Pasteur.) The goal at Gunpowder Falls Brewing is to be known for brewing some of the best German­style beers in America. 15556 Elm Drive, New Freedom, PA 17349 (717) 759­0330 [email protected] ​History Gunpowder Falls Brewing (an American­German craft brewery) was founded in 2012 with the goal of being a “Lager” only brewery; producing authentic German­style lager beers according to the Reinheitsgebot (German Purity Law of 1516). Gunpowder Falls Brewing began in Germany over two decades ago. Actually, it all began with a family vacation and a tour of the Olympia Brewery in Olympia, Washington in 1974. Martin Virga, owner and head brewmaster, was just a 2nd grader at the time, but that visit to the Olympia brewery made a lasting impression. A visit a few years later to the Coors Brewing Company in Golden, Colorado sealed the desire to brew beer. A decade later in 1988, after graduating from Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles, CA, Martin headed to Europe to follow his dream to become a brewmaster. Through a series of fortuitous occurrences and the help of many generous people, Martin secured an apprenticeship at a large Bavarian brewery, Kaiser Bräu in Neuhaus an der Pegnitz, Germany (http://www.kaiser­braeu.de). In addition to learning the brewing ​ ​ process, the apprenticeship allowed Martin time to perfect his German, including reading and writing, so that he could attend brewing school which was taught exclusively in German. After his apprenticeship and successfully becoming fluent in German, Martin began his studies to become a Braumeister (brewmaster) at Doemens in Munich. Doemens was founded in 1895 and is one of the oldest brewing schools in the world. (https://www.doemens.org) ​ ​ Upon returning to the U.S., Martin landed in Baltimore, MD, with no job, little to no money, a wife, twin boys on the way and a simple dream of owning his own brewery. He settled for a job working in the lab at G. Heileman Brewing Company, a large regional East Coast brewery. In the interim, serendipity struck and Martin was hired to help start the brewing operations at Capitol City Brewing Company in Washington D.C. (http://capcitybrew.com/). Capitol ​ ​ City Brewing was the first brewpub in our nation’s capital. 15556 Elm Drive, New Freedom, PA 17349 (717) 759­0330 [email protected] Moving on from Capitol City, Martin raised some outside capital and started Ellicott Mills Brewing Company with the beer brand Alpenhof, in Ellicott City, Maryland. In the end, Martin’s dream of expanding into a production brewery was in conflict with his partners vision of remaining a local niche brew pub and in 2004, Martin sold his interest in Ellicott Mills Brewing (http://www.ellicottmillsbrewing.com/). ​ ​ The desire to brew beer and own his own brewery certainly did not die. After taking a necessary break from the brewing world for several years to raise his children, reprioritize his life and rejuvenate the passion he once had to brew beer, Martin was ready start brewing again. In November 2012 Gunpowder Falls Brewing officially opened. Thankfully, Martin is living his dream and once again sharing his great old world beers with the rest of us, all the while bringing a little taste of Germany here to America. 15556 Elm Drive, New Freedom, PA 17349 (717) 759­0330 [email protected] ​The Brewery Gunpowder Falls Brewing brews all of its lagers in its 3,200 square foot production brewery in New Freedom, Pennsylvania. The brewery can produce over 3,000 Liters of beer per week. Beer is available as follows: 12 oz bottles ­ packaged in six packs or cases 66.5 oz growlers 50 Liter kegs There is a small 800 sqft tasting room on premise where visitors can purchase fresh draft beer on tap or purchase packaged six packs and cases to go. While the tasting room is small, it has plenty of “Gemütlichkeit”. A faithful group local regulars make the tasting room a very inviting and welcome place for first timers and individuals alike. 15556 Elm Drive, New Freedom, PA 17349 (717) 759­0330 [email protected] ​The Beers Year Round Beers Pilsner ­ Our Pilsner is brewed in the Bavarian “Landpils” or country ​ pilsner style, from the finest malt and Hallertau noble hops to give this beer an unmistakable hop aroma. Balanced in taste for a delicate play between the malt sweetness and mild, fine hop bitterness on the tongue. ABV: 5% ​ Food Pairings: German, Italian, Mexican, Thai, Seafood, Burgers, Pork ​ Dunkel – Pronounced "doonn­kel," with a short "oo" as in "foot." ​ Dunkel was the first beer to be regulated by the Bavarian Beer Purity Law of 1516. Our Dunkel or dark lager is brewed in the traditional Bavarian style. With its pronounced, warm Aroma, malty taste and a finish reminiscent of fine coffee, this beer will please the senses – even for the most generic beer drinker. Don’t let the color fool you. This is not a strong or “heavy” beer. The Gunpowder Falls Dunkel is brewed with five different malt types and is lightly hopped. ABV: 5 % ​ Food Pairings: German, Irish, Roasted Poultry, Venison, Sausages, Ham, Mushrooms, ​ Risotto 15556 Elm Drive, New Freedom, PA 17349 (717) 759­0330 [email protected] Seasonal Beers Export Hell ­ The Export Hell derives its name from the period of time ​ when this beer style was brewed to have more alcohol than the Helles, as the higher alcohol helped preserve the beer from spoiling during "Export" to distant destinations. This full­bodied, smooth straw colored lager has little to no hop aroma. The balance of Hallertau hops and a slight malty­sweet finish will leave you wanting another! Our Export Hell, like all of our beers, is naturally carbonated. This beer can be enjoyed for it's subtle complexities, or mindlessly consumed during great conversation with old and new friends. ABV: 5.6% ​ Food Pairings: Pizza, Kielbasa and Sauerkraut, Wings, Spicy foods like Thai and ​ Mexican, Italian, and of course: German! Availability: March ­ May ​ Märzen ­ Märzen, the German word for "March" was historically the ​ last beer brewed in the spring. Traditionally, Märzenbier is a pale lager that originated in Bavaria before the 16th century and was consumed throughout Oktoberfest at the end of September. Our Märzen is a vibrant orange color. You will get caramel and biscuit aromas leading to a malty, mellow, and mild taste.

    How One of The World’s Oldest Food Safety Standards Approaches Expiration – The Case of German Beer 1 Philipp Eble * Henk J. de Vries * ** * Rotterdam School of Management, Erasmus University [email protected] [email protected] ** Delft Univeristy of Technology, Faculty of Technology, Policy and Management [email protected] Abstract The paper at hand contemplates the effect of a centuries-old national food safety standard on innovation in a globalizing market. To that end, the case of the German Beer Industry is analysed to explicate the relationship between a longstanding beer purity decree and brewing innovation. Over 500 years of existence the so-called “Reinheitsgebot”, now laid down in federal German law, has served to restrict variety and safeguard the quality of locally-produced beers. In turn, the standard prominently shaped the national image as well as consumer preferences across all regions in Germany. This research however demonstrates how this has overwhelmingly brought about adverse consequences for the international relevance of German beer in an increasingly globalised economy, which favours diversity in tastes. Due to changing consumption trends and the constricted innovative ability of German brewers, the findings inform government’s responsibility in standardisation for traditional consumer goods industries at a time of urgent need for action. Introduction Beer is widely celebrated for its association with culinary distinctiveness, traditional values and quality (Meussdoerffer 2009). As the most popular drink in the world, behind tea and water, the history of beer brewing dates back several thousands of years, from as early as the Neolithic period to the ancient civilisations of Egypt and Mesopotamia (Nelson 2005).

    Construction Begins on Round Trip Brewing Company Brewery to include taproom, brewhouse, event space, packaging hall and outdoor area 25 February 2020, Atlanta, GA: Round Trip Brewing Company is initiating the renovation build-out to transform their facility into Atlanta’s next great brewery. Located in the emerging brewery district in the Underwood Hills neighborhood in the Upper Westside of Atlanta, the brewery consists of two stories totaling 26,000 sq. ft. of space in a building previously occupied by Zep. “Our vision at Round Trip Brewing Company is to welcome the community to enjoy world- class beer in a dynamic space that encourages exploration and camaraderie,” said Craig Mycoskie, CEO and Head Brewer at Round Trip. “We have dreamed of opening our own brewery for a long time but started this journey in earnest a couple years ago. To see our hard work start to take shape is truly rewarding.” The facility will include a taproom, brewhouse, event space, packaging hall, and an adaptable outdoor area. The taproom allows up to 250 guests to enjoy twelve beers on tap. Custom-made tables and benches built by Broken Fence Woodworking provide a comfortable communal environment for people to enjoy the beer. Round Trip selected companies with specific expertise and an intimate knowledge of the Atlanta beer industry to bring the vision of the brewery to life.

  • 6C. Dunkles Bock Overall Impression: a Dark, Strong, Malty German Lager
    6C. Dunkles Bock Overall Impression: A dark, strong, malty German lager beer that emphasizes the malty-rich and somewhat toasty qualities of continental malts without being sweet in the finish. Aroma: Medium to medium-high bready-malty-rich aroma, often with moderate amounts of rich Maillard products and/or toasty overtones. Virtually no hop aroma. Some alcohol may be noticeable. Clean lager character, although the malts can provide a slight (low to none) dark fruit character, particularly in aged examples. Appearance: Light copper to brown color, often with attractive garnet highlights. Lagering should provide good clarity despite the dark color. Large, creamy, persistent, offwhite head. Flavor: Complex, rich maltiness is dominated by the toastyrich Maillard products. Some caramel notes may be present. Hop bitterness is generally only high enough to support the malt flavors, allowing a bit of sweetness to linger into the finish. Well-attenuated, not cloying. Clean fermentation profile, although the malt can provide a slight dark fruit character. No hop flavor. No roasted or burnt character. Mouthfeel: Medium to medium-full bodied. Moderate to moderately low carbonation. Some alcohol warmth may be found, but should never be hot. Smooth, without harshness or astringency. Comments: Decoction mashing and long boiling plays an important part of flavor development, as it enhances the caramel and Maillard flavor aspects of the malt. Any fruitiness is due to Munich and other specialty malts, not yeast-derived esters developed during fermentation. History: Originated in the Northern German city of Einbeck, which was a brewing center and popular exporter in the days of the Hanseatic League (14th to 17th century).
