Mohren Spezial if you want to ease into the evening,
Moritz Epidor if you want real weight and grip.
The Mohren sits at a genuinely sessionable 5.8% — it's the kind of lager that lets you have three without rethinking your night. The Moritz climbs to 7.2% and you *feel* that point-four difference; it's a beer that demands you pace it, respect it, and actually taste it.

Mohren Spezial
Mohren Spezial is clean in the way German breweries nail it—no fluff, no apology. There's a faint grain sweetness on the front that vanishes almost immediately, replaced by a bone-dry finish and this subtle herbal whisper that comes from those 22 IBUs. It's got the texture of silk, honestly. Drinks like the brewers knew exactly what they were doing and stopped before they overreached.
Moritz Epidor
Moritz Epidor hits different. You get more malt presence up front—a hint of bready richness—and it carries weight all the way through. The IBU bump to 25 isn't screaming at you, but it gives the beer a backbone, a slight herbal grip that keeps it from tasting boozy despite the 7.2%. This one's built to linger; it's contemplative, not casual.
