Description
Sopp Opera is a hot-honey Soppressata pizza-inspired Rauchbier, resulting in a playful twist where classic lager tradition meets pizza-night nostalgia. Brewed with German oak-smoked wheat from Weyermann Specialty Malts, pounds on pounds of sliced Apls Provisions hot soppressata, semolina flour, and whole pies from Pizzeria Delores in the mash. In the boil, we carefully introduced traditional German hops, Sicilian oregano, basil, organic wildflower honey, and a touch of Calabrian chili. Lagered for over 5 weeks, the final result is an incredibly complex yet refined Rachbier–subtle smoke/meaty qualities with a beautifully herbaceous spice and hop character. Refreshing, mind-bending, zesty, umami, and extra crispy. Brewed in collaboration with Root + Branch Brewing, Omnipollo, Hudson Valley Brewery, with pizza love from Pizzeria Delores. 5.0% ABV
