Cold Time Extra is the strongest of the Cold Time lagers, an Export-style Lager at 5.8% ABV that arrived in June 2026 alongside Amber and Dry. Fuller-bodied than its siblings, it leans on pronounced malt depth with a firm hop structure behind it. Like the whole family it is brewed low and slow in Chicago, kept cold in the tanks to mellow and never pasteurized.
