WHAT’S BIERGARTEN BIER?
It’s the bier found in German biergarten, neighborhood gathering places where a sense of community and a love of great bier come together. At Prost, we honor these traditions with truly authentic biergarten-style biers made with sustainably sourced German-grown hops and Colorado-grown Malts, hand selected for the highest quality and brewed with state-of-the-art precision. The result is clear, more refined biers that are approachable yet layered with complexity – the very same biers we drink with friends in our Prost biergartens. Prost!
