Von Ebert Brewing and Grand Fir Brewing collaborate on Sacred Stone, a limited-edition American Lager showcasing a crisp, modern take on this classic style. This partnership between two respected Oregon breweries delivers a 4% ABV beer available in draft and 473ml cans at Von Ebert locations and select Northwest retailers and bars.

Hop Character and Brewing Approach

Sacred Stone distinguishes itself through the use of Kohatu hops from New Zealand and jasmine rice, representing a subtle evolution of the traditional American Lager style. The beer delivers bright notes of pineapple and lime layered over a clean water cracker malt backbone, creating a light yet expressive hop character. Brewmaster Sam Pecoraro noted that Kohatu's delicate profile paired perfectly with jasmine rice, pushing the boundaries of what an American Lager can be.

Tasting Profile

The nose reveals cracker, citrus hop, and citrus zest characteristics. On the palate, biscuit and cracker notes emerge alongside citrus hop and zest, while the finish remains clean and refined with soft bitterness. This is an ideal beer for enthusiasts who appreciate subtlety and craftsmanship in a sessionable format.
