Bierschnaps

Bierschnaps is a distilled spirit which is made from a completed beer. We have partnered with a few local breweries in the Chicagoland area to make use of surplus product. The breweries make and finish the beer, bring it to Rhine Hall, where it is put into the kettle and it acts as the fermented mash. Our still is imported from Germany, and operates as a continuous column still. After distillation, the Biershnaps rested in stainless steel for 9 months or was placed back in it’s original aging vessel before it was chill filtered and hand bottled. We offer a range of unaged Bierschnaps varieties – Church Street Saison, Hopewell Doppelbock, and a Strong & Pale. We additionally offer a Goose Island Bourbon County Stout with age statements of one year rested, two year, and three years rested.
