The brewery: Wissahickon Brewing Company, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
Description (from Untappd): "Dark German Lager brewed with a blend of light and dark Munich Malts, and mashed with 40# of Philly Soft Pretzels. Hopped with Columbus, Chinook, and Simcoe. Naturally carbonated and lagered for 5 weeks in the horizontal tank."
Would I buy it again? This is the first beer of what will likely be many from Wissahickon Brewing Company, as their East Falls location is a mere 20-minute walk from my new apartment. And while convenient location can paper over many faults, I really wanted this beer to be good. And happily, I thought it was great. There's a real deep flavor to this; while it doesn't taste exactly like soft pretzels (at least, not like that Aldus Pretzel Wheat), they do help make this beer especially bready and malty, and I really enjoyed drinking it. I'd definitely buy this again.
