About the Beer
What's in the can.
Lima Fresca started as an experiment — what if a clean Kölsch met the bright, salty kick of a Mexican-style lager? Turns out: magic. It became one of the most asked-about pours at the taproom and earned its way into year-round rotation.
We brew a clean, traditional Kölsch — fermented warm with a lager-style cold conditioning, soft malt body, low bitterness — and then add culinary sea salt and a real lime presence at the end. The result is crisp, citrusy, and finished so cleanly you will want a second before the first is done.
Think of it as a session beer that earns its place at the table. Spicy food, beach-day drinking, Sunday brunch — Lima Fresca lives in all of them.
