Every brewery should have a house beer—a beer that says: this is who we are.

For us, that means brewing with a Franconian mindset: beer rooted in place, shaped by tradition, guided by craftsmanship, and made to be enjoyed round after round in good company.

Ours has always been Dovetail Lager.

Ten years in, Lager remains at the center of what we do—but we’re still learning what it’s capable of. A few years ago, we began our Hopfenlager series—a chance to explore what happens when you give hops room to shine in a traditional lager framework.

What began as curiosity became one of our favorite things to explore: layer upon layer of hop character, from classic noble varieties to experimental hops still without names, added late in the coolship to preserve delicate aromatics while keeping bitterness soft and refined.

The result is our 10th Anniversary Lager—an elevated expression of our house beer: familiar in its drinkability—golden, malty, rich, and beautifully creamy, with layered complexity—yet deeper in hop character, carrying an unmistakable love letter to Tettnang: herbal, floral, peppery, elegant, and endlessly drinkable.
