    Golden color and a candy like sweetness. Characteristics & Applications: • In contrast to Brewers Malt, glassiness is a distinguishing characteristic of Caramel Malt. The glassy endosperm creates the desirable non-fermentable components giving true Caramel Malt the ability to contribute body (mouthfeel), foam foam retention, and extended beer stability, while contributing color and unique caramel flavor. • Caramel 10L is a roasted caramel malt that imparts golden color. • Use 3-7% for Pilsener-style beers for balance. • Use 5-15% to provide color, sweetness and color to light amber beers. • Produced from AMBA/BMBRI recommended 2-Row Malting Barley varieties.

"Red solo cup, I lift you up, proceed to party..proceed to party...!!!" You get the idea, I tried to model after every beer I have every filled a cup with at every keg party/beer pong competition/college party/super-bowl weekend party I have ever attended. I just wanted to make a good, cheap, well rounded, flavourful, light, clear beer you can enjoy any-time of year anywhere.

Remember Schaefer

Remember Schaefer before it became Stroh's and now Pabst Blue Ribbon, well I am a bit of a history buff when it comes to beer. F. & M. stands for Frederick and Maximilian, the brothers who founded Schaefer. Frederick Schaefer, a native of Wetzlar, Prussia, Germany, emigrated to the U.S. in 1838. His younger brother, Maximilian, decided to make the arduous trip across the Atlantic in 1839 and brought with him a formula for lager, a type of beer popular in Germany but unheard of in the United States. The brothers dreamed, and planned, and saved - and in the late summer of 1842 they were able to buy a small brewery from Sommers. In 1981, the F. & M. Schaefer Brewing Company was purchased by the Stroh Brewery Company. In 1999, the Stroh Brewery Company was bought by the Pabst Brewing Company which continues to sell Schaefer Beer today. This is my attempt at commemorating legacy. Enjoy
