²ÝÝ®´«Ã½â€™s Brennan Haselton is joined by Neighborhood Restaurant Group Beer Director and Food and Wine Sommelier of the Year Greg Engert to talk about Nepenthe Werewolf Deathgrip American Kölsch for the latest edition of ²ÝÝ®´«Ã½â€™s Beer of the Week.

Brewery: Baltimore, Maryland

Description: A Kölsch brewed with German Pils, Vienna, and a touch of corn, then lightly hopped and dry-hopped with Amarillo and Hallertau Blanc — featuring a soft, slightly toasted, malt character and subtle hints of ripe orange and lemongrass, giving way to a crisp, dry finish.

ABV: 5.5%

Pairing suggestions: Seafood (think shellfish), sausages and Greek cuisine (gyros, souvlaki, spanakopita)
