Georgetown-based Lowercase Brewing is celebrating its fifth anniversary and is commemorating the event with a rare and unique German Steinbier, or “stone beer”. “We knew that celebrating our five-year anniversary was a huge deal and we knew that we needed to make a really interesting beer to encapsulate the moment. So not only did we dream up something that was super challenging, it was also pretty rad.”, says Chris Smith, Co-Founder of Lowercase Brewing. Head brewer John Marti used super-heated rocks placed directly into the beer’s wort to create massive evaporation and brought out flavors not commonly found through traditional brewing methods. This unique brew has faint caramel notes and an interesting minerality derived from the pillow basalt stones.

Hopstories captured the production of this innovative beer through a short video:
