Urban Chestnut Brewing Company, based in St. Louis, Missouri, is known for its innovative approach to brewing, combining traditional European styles with modern American techniques. The UCBC Zwickel is a classic example of a Zwickelbier, a type of unfiltered lager that originates from Germany. This beer is brewed with a blend of traditional German malts and hops, resulting in a smooth, slightly cloudy lager with a balanced malt sweetness and a subtle hop bitterness. The Zwickel has an ABV of around 5.2%, making it a refreshing and easy-drinking beer. Its flavor profile includes notes of fresh bread, mild citrus, and a hint of herbal hops, making it an excellent choice for pairing with light dishes such as salads, grilled chicken, or seafood.
