The Character

Tasting Notes Brewed as a Pilsner-style lager, Maris Otter lends a rich golden color and a dense creamy foam. Aromas of spicy peppermint, lemon preserves, and sweet alfalfa are anchored by a solid mid-palate and a long flinty mineral finish.

The Story

This beer showcases Maris Otter, an heirloom barley bred in England in 1965, the same year The Beatles scored three #1 UK hits. Stars aligned that year, as Maris Otter became one of the most celebrated barley varieties of the past century. Today it makes up less than 0.1% of global brewing acreage however, having lost commercial favor due to smaller yields than more ‘modern’ barleys. But it’s incredibly flavorful and we love it.

About Hanabi Lager

Producer Story

Hanabi is a lager brewing project rooted in a winemaking background and a passion for hands-on craftsmanship. Focused on what it calls grain-forward lager, Hanabi takes a distinct approach—using lager brewing as a method to highlight the natural flavors of grains rather than emphasizing hops or malting alone. By designing processes that let grain character shine, Hanabi creates beers that are refreshing yet layered, marked by balance, elegance, and subtle complexity. Working with heritage, heirloom, and select modern barley varieties, Hanabi explores the expressive potential of grain, offering a refined take on lager that celebrates depth, drinkability, and thoughtful craft.
