IF A 1857 GERMAN IMMIGRANT BREWER WOKE UP TODAY, WHAT BEERS WOULD THEY MAKE ON OUR MODERN SYSTEM WITH CURRENTLY ACCESSIBLE RAW MATERIALS?
We start with classic German styles, use only the finest traditional floor malted grains and noble hop varieties, finished with outstanding traditional lager and ale yeast strains. The result — a modern sourced form of classic styles, informed and guided by tradition and place. And all of our beers are unfiltered, use no additives, and are naturally carbonated.
Draft Beers
The Waldmann Pilsener
THE BEER THAT FIRST PUT WALDMANN’S 2017 RENAISSANCE ON THE MAP: GERMAN-STYLE PILSENER –BOLD, FLORAL, DAZZLING STRAW IN COLOR, AND NATURALLY SPUNDED. THE FRUIT OF MANY TECHNICAL ITERATIONS, THIS CLEAR GOLDEN MASTERPIECE BENEFITS FROM SEVEN HOP ADDITIONS AND DECOCTION MASHING FOR A NUANCED FLAVOR, CAPABLE OF SATIATING LAGER AND PALE ALE DRINKERS ALIKE. A TRIUMPH.
Lager 5.5% ABV
Radfahrer Radler
LEGEND HAS IT, THE CLASSIC GERMAN RADLER WAS BORN OF NECESSITY WHEN A GROUP OF BICYCLISTS (RADFAHRER), THOUSANDS STRONG, DESCENDED ON A SMALL BAVARIAN PUB, ALMOST DRINKING IT DRY. THE BARMAN, THINKING QUICKLY, BEGAN MIXING BEER WITH LEMON SODA, CREATING A POPULAR THIRST-QUENCHER THAT SURVIVES TO THIS DAY. PILSENER, SPRITE, AND LEMONADE. SIMPLE AND DELICIOUS.
Mixed Lager 4.5% ABV
CENTENNIAL 1876 LAGER
LIFE. LIBERTY. LAGER. AN ADJUNCT BREW TRUE TO ITS TIME, OUR 1876 PAYS HOMAGE TO THE AMERICAN CENTENNIAL WITNESSED BY OUR NAMESAKE, ANTON WALDMANN. LIKE HUNDREDS OF CRATES OF TEA DILUTED IN THE BRINY DEPTHS OF BOSTON HARBOR, THIS STUPENDOUS LAGER SOFTENS RICH CORN SWEETNESS, DRYING FLAKED RICE, HERITAGE CLUSTER HOPS, AND MALTED SIX-ROW BARLEY IN PURE, AMERICAN LIMESTONE-FILTERED WATER. ONE IN THEY HAND, TWO IF NEEDS BE… OR WHATEVER PAUL REVERE SAID. THE GOLDEN EMBODIMENT OF THE Pursuit of Happiness.
Lager 5.5% ABV
Hefeweizen
WALDMANN’S SUMMER HEF IS ONE FOR THE BOOKS! THE YEAST STRAIN IN THIS BREW IS SPECIALLY SOURCED TO COMPLEMENT THE UNIQUE QUALITIES OF OUR CAREFULLY SELECTED BREWING INGREDIENTS. THE RESULT IS A CLASSIC BAVARIAN WHEAT ALE, TRUE TO STYLE: STRAW GOLD, LIKE JASON’S FLEECE. CLOUDED IN GRANDEUR, LIKE HIGH OLYMPUS. SOFT WHITE FOAM, THE LIKE OF WHICH MIGHT HAVE BORNE APHRODITE HERSELF. AND THICK SAVORS OF WARM BANANA WITH A NOSE OF CLOVE – THE NECTAR OF THE GODS.
Ale 5.2% ABV
Dunkel
ASK FOR A DUNKEL ANYWHERE IN GERMANY AND YOU’RE LIKELY TO BE HANDED WHATEVER DARK BEER HAPPENS TO BE ON TAP. IN DÜSSELDORF THIS MIGHT BE AN ALTBIER. IN HAMBURG YOU MIGHT BE SERVED A PITCH BLACK SCHWARZBIER. IN MUNICH AND ITS SURROUNDING CLIMES HOWEVER, DUNKEL IS A TRADITIONAL STYLE ALL ITS OWN. AT WALDMANN, AS IN BAVARIA, THIS DEEP HAZEL BREW DERIVES FROM DARK TOASTED GRAINS AND ITS CLEAN, MALTY FINISH IS THE UNMISTAKABLE RESULT OF DECOCTION MASHING.
Lager 5.0% ABV
Berliner Weisse
LIKELY A VARIATION ON A 16TH CENTURY HAMBURG ALE, BERLINER WEISSE IS A REFRESHING BREW, FAMED FOR ITS SOUR TASTE. PART OF WALDMANN’S PONDEROUS BREW BOOK SINCE THE BEGINNING, THIS ACIDULATED MALT- SOURED ALE TWINGES WITH AN EARTHY TARTNESS AND DAZZLES WITH BRIGHT WHEAT AND CHAMPAGNE EFFERVESCENCE. A LIGHT, BALANCED ALE BREWED FOR SUNNY DAYS.
Ale 3.6% ABV
Helles Rauchbier
HELLES RAUCHBIER IS A FRANCONIAN STYLE SMOKED LAGER SPECIFICALLY FROM THE AREA OF BAMBERG. FEATURING DELICATE BEECHWOOD SMOKE CHARACTER BALANCED WITH SWEET BREADY MALT. UNLIKE THE MORE INTENSE DARK SMOKED LAGERS, THIS BIER IS LIGHT BODIED, CRISP, REFRESHING AND OFFERS GREAT BALANCE BETWEEN THE HERBALNESS OF HOPS AND AROMATICS OF SMOKED MALT.
Lager 5.0% ABV
Maibock
A RARE BEAUTY GROWN FROM RICH SOILS OF BARKE PILSNER AND MUNICH MALTS, WATERED IN THE THRICE-FILTERED WATERS OF ST. PAUL’S LIMESTONE AQUIFERS, AND ARTFULLY MANICURED WITH SPALTER SELECT HOPS; THIS INCOMPARABLE BLOOM DELIGHTS WITH NOTES OF HONEY, FRESH BREAD AND SWEET CRACKER BEFORE RESOLVING IN THE SHADED DRYNESS OF FRESH BUDDING HOPS. ROUNDED. BOLD. FLEETING.
Lager 7.0% ABV
Altbier
OUR FIRST BATCH OF THE 2026 (CONCEIVED IN THE WINTER OF 2025), THIS CLASSIC STYLE HAILS FROM DÜSSELDORF’S ALSTADT. FERMENTED COOL AND LONG-LAGERED, OUR ALT IS A SYMPHONY OF ROUNDED MALTS BALANCING DRYING HOPS, SWELLING TO PERFORM ORCHESTRAL WONDERS ON THE TONGUE. LIKE A NEW CONDUCTOR COAXING DRY NOTES INTO SMOOTH MELODIES, THIS CENTURIES-OLD ALE MEETS ONCE AGAIN WITH INCOMPARABLE TALENT IN WALDMANN’S MASTER BREWER.
Ale 5.2% ABV
Doppelbock
A TRADITIONAL HERALD OF THE GLORIOUS SPRING, OUR DOPPELBOCK (LITERALLY “DOUBLE BOCK“) CANTERS MAJESTICALLY ONTO THE ALPINE MEADOW OF THE PALATE, SHAKING BOURBON-ESQUE SWEETNESS FROM ITS MALTY LOCKS AS GLINTS OF CARAMEL AND WARM BROWN SUGAR GLANCE OFF DARK RECTANGULAR PUPILS AND THICK WET FOAM CURLS FROM ITS CROWN, CONCENTRATING A CLEAN BITTERNESS IN HORNS OF SUBTLE HOP SPICE.
Lager 9.0% ABV
