A very small
brewery on a
rainy coast.
Brewed in Vancouver, BC
Distributed by walking over
Langer's Lager began with a pot, a burner, and a thirsty young man. Going from one to two vessel systems experimenting with teas, spices and whatever else I could could get my hands on a young brewer emerged. Two years later, there's more beer being brewed, drunk and shared.

A timeline,
roughly.
The First Kettle
A little 7.5 gallon kettle and some DME, it was drinkable.
The Kegerator
Beer is now on tap, the beer must flow.
Now
A three vessel fully electric pilot system is now opertaional, the beer only gets better.
Four weeks,
four steps, one stove.
Mash
Grain, hot water, patience. We hit 67°C and hold for an hour. Sugars do their thing.
Boil
Ninety minutes of vigorous argument between water and hops. The garage smells incredible.
Ferment
Two weeks in the fermentor, one week cold crashing. Yeast turns sugar into beer. Magic, mostly.
Bottle
Hand-filled, hand-capped, hand-labeled. Another fortnight carbonating in the dark.
