Garage Project Hapi Daze if you want to ease into the evening,
Gutmann Helles if you want a touch more presence.
Both are clean lagers with identical bitterness, but Gutmann's extra 0.6% ABV and fuller body give it more grip on the palate. Hapi Daze leans crisp and crushable—genuinely sessionable. Gutmann feels like a proper Munich-style foundation beer, the kind you'd drink slower and savor.

Garage Project Hapi Daze
Hapi Daze drinks impossibly light without tasting thin. There's a soft grain sweetness up front, almost delicate, with a whisper of noble hop character that doesn't announce itself. The finish is bone-dry and quick—it genuinely invites another sip immediately. At 4.2%, it's the kind of beer that disappears in your hand.
Gutmann Helles
Gutmann has real substance. You feel the malt backbone in the middle of your mouth—a gentle sweetness that actually lingers. The hops are even more restrained than Hapi Daze, almost hidden, which lets you focus on that clean Bavarian character. It's smooth but not soft; there's a structure there that makes it feel intentional.
