Bully Forbes German Dunkel Lager

  • Beer Description

    Sow & Piglets
    This Dunkel Munich is a dark German lager which pleases the taste buds with a roasted note. This lager is based on authentic Munich malt which results in a full-bodied beer without being heavy. Moderate bitterness finishes this beer nicely Story behind the name: Captain ‘Bully’ Forbes was a likeable rogue who tried to break the record in 1855 by sailing from Liverpool to Geelong in 60 days aboard the luxury clipper, “Schomberg”. “Bully” was below deck playing cards and entertaining female passengers when the mate informed him that the Schomberg was getting close to the land. Forbes, frustrated by bad weather and no chance of breaking the record, cried, "Let her go to hell, and tell me when she is on the beach!"
