Bayern Brewing’s Face Plant now available in bottles

Bayern Brewing Face Plant

This triple decoction, unfiltered wheat version of the Doppelbock is a tricky beer to make, but Bayern brewers have paid attention to the beer whims of the masses, and are now offering the beer in bottles. One of the perfect beers for healing hard-core snowboarding injures, like the aforementioned face plant, it’s also a very cool style of beer that is not brewed very much in Europe anymore, much less the United States.

I remember when Face Plant first came out. I started to think people wouldn’t order any other beer while up at SnowBowl. It’s a popular beer for sure, but remember that this beer is a deceptively high-gravity beer that will leave it’s mark on you if you’re not careful. As Jurgen says, “Drink it up, but leave your car at home.”

Here’s what Jurgen has to say:

You can have a Face Plant anywhere
Bayern Brewing will be increasing the availability of
Face Plant Doppelweizen for its growing number of
fans by offering it in bottles this year. While people
have been enjoying Doppelbock since Bayern started
brewing it in 1987 (also now available in bottles and
on draft), this unfiltered wheat counterpart has only
been on the market for two years and continues to gain
popularity. While the brewers at Bayern are thrilled
about this, it also poses new challenges. First, the
decoction brewing method and other factors unique to
this beer style increase the brewing time significantly.
Second, Bayern usually only offers one seasonal spe-
cialty beer style at a time, along with our year-round fa-
vorites, causing space issues in the fermenters and lager
tanks. It is a bit like a slow juggling act where 1200+
gallons of beer per batch must be carefully managed
so that all our customers will always have their favor-
ite styles available to them. Despite the difficulties,
everyone at Bayern hopes you enjoy a bottle of Face
Plant soon. We don’t recommend drinking the whole
six-pack yourself, though…you may learn why we feel
our doppelweizen is aptly named.

Prost,

GG
