“…Yeah, yeah. She’s seeing this guy, Art Vandelay…”

If there’s one thing we learned from Seinfeld, it’s that there’s no point in just being an importer. The real money is in importing/exporting. Taking this lesson to heart, we brewed a German-style Export Lager, but imported some American hops, atypical for the style, into the picture. It’s a big lager at 6.3% ABV, but the hop varietals generate more than enough bitterness to meet the malt’s challenge.

One rule: if you’re drinking this beer and the phone rings, you have to answer “Vandelay Industries.”
