smoked beer

Malt-cured lager style

Smoked beer is beer brewed with malt that has been dried over an open flame, imparting a distinctive smoky flavor.

The smoke character ranges from subtle bacon-like notes to intensely campfire-forward, depending on the wood used and smoking duration: The smoked beer paired perfectly with the barbecue.
