Loowit Brewing Company to release Blunderbusser

July 13, 2015 Vancouver, Washington – Loowit Brewing Company is pleased to announce the release of Blunderbusser, a recreation of a historic German beer style known as Kotbüsser. The Kotbüsser style was nearly lost to time when it became outlawed and illegal to brew in the late 1800’s under the German beer purity law due to some of it’s ingredients. The purity law states beer must be made with water, barley and hops. In addition to water, barley and hops, a Kotbüsser features other ingredients that make it special such as honey, molasses, wheat and oats. Blunderbusser pours a pale gold with brite white head and full, creamy body while the hops and honey lend themselves to delicate, floral aromatics. This is a fantastically refreshing summer beer. Blunderbusser will be released in the Loowit tap room at 507 Columbia Street on Thursday, July 16th.
