RAUCH MARZEN LAGER ON TAP

Rauch Marzen Lager is on tap at North Nut in Bellingham and soon at South Nut in Skagit. This great smoky Marzen style lager is modeled after the Spezial Brewery's traditional Rauch in Bamberg, Germany. More delicate and softer in smoke than the typical Schlenkerla Rauch (most commonly seen in the US) this Marzen style lager is a great food beer. It gets its smokey flavor and aroma from the use of Beechwood smoked malted barley. Rauch will also be available at the H2O in Anacortes after February 9.
