1947 BREW
Standard American Lager • All Grain • 5 gal
This beer is adapted from the brewmaster log books from 1933 through 1967. The recipe did change over the years which reflected the changing tastes of the consumer and the changes in materials used over the years. This was as close as you can get to what was made in 1947 and probably pre-prohibition as well.
