Smoked Beer Preservation Day

  • The Birch 1231 West Olney Road Norfolk, VA, 23507 United States (map)

"July 23rd is Smokebeer preservation day: On this date in 1635 the first smoke free malt drying machine was patented. As a consequence smoke free beer became dominant all over the world and the original smokebeer was turned into a rare, almost extinct speciality. Only in Bamberg the traditional fire kiln was continuously preserved: At Schlenkerla the fire still burns today in the maltings."

We'll have a keg of Aecht Schlenkerla Helles Märzen on tap and our table top s'mores. Chelsea Bakehouse will be celebrating with a special pizza featuring gorgonzola, fontina, smoked brisket, and pickled onions!
