SWITCHBACK KARSTEN LAGER

Switchback Brewing Co., home to Vermont’s iconic Switchback Ale — has released their Karsten Premium Lager in 16 oz cans for the first time.

“With the recent addition of a new Quadrel Techline high speed labeler, the brewery now can create out-of-the-box labels that truly fit the personality of each beer,” says Brewery Founder and Brewmaster, Bill Cherry. “The new equipment eliminates color and print limitations of mass-produced pre-printed cans which we used to have to order by the truckload.” Switchback’s graphic designer, Interrobang Design Collaborative, whom they have worked with since the Brewery’s founding, utilized many of the creative features that Amherst Label offers to make dynamic cans that come alive as you rotate them.

Karsten Lager is crisp, clean and expertly crafted. It features Switchback’s delicious malt signature, balanced by noble hops with just a hint of sweetness.

Modest to the bone despite the skill it takes to make, this beer is made for drinking not crowing about. A beer big on details but not boastful about them. But like all of us, Karsten deserves to have some fun - check out his antics in the “Karsten Klips” series.

Find Karsten in 16 oz. can 4-packs and 12 oz. can 12-packs throughout Switchback’s distribution footprint.
