Zwickel Bier by New Glarus Brewing Co. in Wisconsin, United States

About Zwickel Bier by New Glarus Brewing Co.

You hold Brewmaster Dan Carey’s confident response to “What’s your favorite beer?” As a young Apprentice, this is the Reinheitsgebot Lager Dan brewed in Bavaria. Wisconsin glacial water softens a decoction mash of the finest Wisconsin, Czech and English malts. Dan personally selected the German, Czech and French hops for six separate hop additions. Finally, a long lager on his proprietary Munich yeast just as Brewers have done for 500 years. Straight from the tanks, unfiltered, this bier has undergone its third and final fermentation in the bottle in order to ensure you the freshest possible Lager bier. Expect this bier to be assertively hoppy, complex, and slightly cloudy. New Glarus revived the name but have brewed a new favorite that can only be found when you visit their little village Brewery in New Glarus.


A craft brewery located south of Madison, WI in the small Swiss Village of New Glarus. Brewing 17 to 20 different styles of beer each year keeps us too busy to sell outside our home state. So you will find our brews - Only in Wisconsin!
