Bierstacheln Day 

Celebrate five years of great beer, community, and tradition with us at Bell Tower Brewing Co. for a special Bierstacheln Day on Saturday, October 24, beginning at 11:00 AM while supplies last!

In honor of our 5th anniversary, we’re bringing a centuries-old German beer tradition to Kent with a special reserve of our gold-medal-winning Hermann-ator Doppelbock. Rich, malty, and perfect for the occasion, this German-style Doppelbock will be the star of an unforgettable beer experience.

What Is Bierstacheln?

Bierstacheln, or “hot-poked beer,” is a German tradition dating back roughly 400 years, traditionally enjoyed during the colder months around the warmth of a fire. The process is simple, but the results are something special.

A red-hot iron rod, known as a Bierstachel, is plunged directly into a cold glass of beer. The intense heat caramelizes the beer’s residual sugars through the Maillard reaction, creating a rich, sweet, pillowy foam with a marshmallow-like texture across the top. Meanwhile, the beer beneath stays cool and refreshing.

The result? A unique combination of warm, caramelized sweetness and cold, malty beer in every sip.
