Notes

Spiced Märzen | 6.2% ABV

Profile: Toasted Grain • Warm Spice • Autumnal Honey

The Story: A tribute to the "Three-Faced Coin"—the cycle of creation, trade, and the inevitable end. While most toast to the gods of honest wealth, this mahogany lager honors the third face: The Keeper, the divine hoarder who claims what is lost. Built on a foundation of Munich and Bohemian Pilsner malts, this brew is fortified with cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice to stave off the winter chill, finishing with a smooth touch of cloves and wild honey.

Flip the coin. Pay the tithe.
