Kyburz Kölsch, Solid Ground (4pk)

This beer is light, crisp, and crushable with delicate vinous and malt aromas and flavors with a crisp cleansing finish.

But why is it called "Kyburz"? It's named after a small, unincorporated community in El Dorado County! Here's a little history lesson from Wikipedia: 

Kyburz (formerly, Slippery Ford and Slipperyford) is a small unincorporated community in El Dorado County, California. It is located along the South Fork of the American River and U.S. Route 50, and is surrounded by the Eldorado National Forest. Its elevation is 4058 feet (1237 m) above sea level.

Settlement began a mile west at Webster’s Sugar Loaf House as a remount station for the pony express on April 3, 1860. The route ran through where US 50 locally is today. The Slippery Ford post office opened in 1861. The name was changed to Slipperyford in 1896, and to Kyburz in 1911, by its Postmaster Albert Kyburz, in memory of his father Samuel Kyburz, who was an early California pioneer with John Sutter. The locale was along the Lincoln Highway Sierra Nevada Southern Route by 1916.

About the Brewery (from the Solid Ground website)

The name, SOLID GROUND, has multiple layered meanings. SOLID GROUND is a synonym for Earth from which the ingredients for our beer, cider, and wine are derived and skillfully crafted. The education and experience that our production staff bring is the SOLID GROUND on which we are founded. We want our facility to be a gathering point for families and friends. Thus, a SOLID GROUND is created within our own community.

We specialize in traditional lagers, dry ciders, and sparkling wine. Every beer, cider and wine placed on our tap list undergoes a collaboration of ideas, recipes, and taste-tests before the final product is served.
