🌍 United States · Zwickel Lager · One of 1 Zwickel Lagers in hopIQ

Southworks is an unfiltered Zwickel Lager from Hop Butcher For The World, Chicago's celebrated hop-forward craft brewery. True to the traditional Franconian style, this Midwestern interpretation pours a hazy, golden-straw with a soft, pillowy white head and gentle, natural cloudiness. The aroma is fresh and inviting — delicate notes of fresh grain, meadow herbs, and a light floral hop character lead the way. On the palate, it's clean, approachable, and satisfyingly round, with soft malt sweetness balanced by a crisp, earthy bitterness. The mouthfeel is smooth and lightly creamy, as expected from an unfiltered lager. The finish is clean and refreshingly dry, with a subtle lingering grain character that makes Southworks an effortlessly drinkable, crowd-pleasing lager.
