Historic Rauchbier Preservation Day & Biergarten BBQ Weekend at Golden Age Beer Co. | July 23-26

Golden Age Beer Co 337 E. 8th Avenue, Homestead

Historic Rauchbier Preservation Day & Biergarten BBQ Weekend at Golden Age Beer Co. | July 23-26 Thursday, July 23, 2026 4:00 PM Sunday, July 26, 2026 8:00 PM We are blessed to have great friends, and among them, is the famed brewery Aecht Schlenkerla brewery in Bamberg, Germany. For six generations, the family of braumeister and owner Matthias Trum has dedicated themselves to the preservation of Bamberg’s historic rauchbier (“smoke beer”) by producing legendary lagers that blur the line between beer and bbq, using malts they smoke in house, predominantly over beechwood. Their beers are beyond iconic, and, together with another small Bamberg brewery, the equally renowned Brauerei Spezial, it is one of the last two historic rauchbier maltsters and brewers remaining in Germany. Each year, Schlenkerla celebrates International Rauchbier Day on July 23rd. Golden Age is proud to join that celebration by serving Rauchbier from Schlenkerla, Spezial, and a special batch of pale Rauchbier that we have brewed ourselves for the occasion. Our kitchen is joining into the smoked fun with a menu of German Barbecue, which will feature smoked sausage, smoked pork belly skewers and more. With so much great beer to drink and BBQ to eat, we decided to […]
