Geist Rauch-a-Fella | Smoked Wheat Beer | Bangalore Craft Beer

Before the Industrial Revolution, grains were dried in open wood-fired kilns. The smoke infused the malt and eventually the finished beer. Over time, there was a shift to indirect-fired kilns and the smoke flavour in beer mostly disappeared. However, some breweries in towns like Bamberg in the Franconia region still follow the old tradition of smoking the malt over local beechwood. The Geist Rauch-a-Fella is a smoked wheat beer, inspired by the famous smoke beers of Bamberg. Its name is a twist on the “la” suffix, common in the Franconian dialect. This hazy and light amber ale is brewed with beechwood smoked barley malt and traditional wheat malt, which is sure bring on an appetising smoke experience. The distinctive smoke flavour, the toasty malt character and classic Weissbier aromas make it a true Rauchweizen. IBU 16 ABV 5.4% ----- Interested in trying the new Geist Rauch-a-Fella?
