So, what’s a Kellerbier? Keller means “cellar” in German. The brewing process is broadly separated into the hot side (mash + boil) and the cold side (fermentation + conditioning). A cellarperson guides the beer through all the cold side operations. Legend has it that, in Germany, the cellar workers were known to slake their thirst with a sample straight from the tanks before the beer was filtered. This raw, hazy, unrefined version of the beer became a favorite among brewery workers and eventually made its way to the marketplace.
