house ale - german pale ale

When breweries celebrate, they usually do so with a special beer. A fine brew is created to match the festive occasion, anniversary, or milestone, and served on the day of the celebration. We appreciate this tradition, as it allows us to share in the joy without having to be there in person.

Orca Brewery recently had reason to celebrate: The Nuremberg brewery opened the Orca Bar at Jakobsplatz, creating a space for craft beer and enjoyment. With this second location, the brewery bridges the gap between its somewhat remote location at Steinacher Kreuz and Nuremberg's city center. The bar opened in November and has since become a popular destination for anyone with a thirst for beer.

To celebrate this festive occasion, Orca Brau has released its House Ale. This German Pale Ale embodies the bar's charm with its simple concept, regional ingredients, modern touch, and plenty of character. This German-inspired Pale Ale combines smooth barley malt with a delightful freshness thanks to the Mandarina Bavaria and Saphir hops. The green gold was dry-hopped, delivering notes of freshly cut grass and a tidal wave of juicy, fruity aromas that harmonize beautifully with the subtle grain. The yeast rounds out this easy-drinking brew with balance and spice.
