Fieldstone Kölsch is back and the team is thrilled

The team noticed immediately

When the Fieldstone Kölsch boxes hit the back room this morning, I heard someone actually cheer. That's how you know a beer has earned its spot on our shelves — the staff gets excited before the customers even see it.

Fieldstone Kölsch is one of those quiet winners. It doesn't shout. It doesn't need a wild label or a 90 IBU flex. It just sits there at 4.8% ABV, golden and patient, waiting for someone to realize they want something refreshing that doesn't taste like a fruit salad or a pine forest.

Tasting notes (because I couldn't wait)

I cracked one open during the restock — quality control, obviously. Clean malt backbone, barely-there hop bitterness, slight bread character on the finish. It's the kind of beer you can drink two of without feeling like you just wrestled a grapefruit.

The carbonation is lively without being aggressive. Pours with a tight white head that sticks around just long enough to look good in the glass. If you're introducing someone to craft beer who's nervous about "hops" or "weird flavors," this is your move.

Front cooler, eye level

We stocked it front and center because the team agreed it deserves prime real estate. Eighteen cases sounds like a lot until you remember how fast the last batch disappeared. I'm giving it until Thursday, maybe Friday if we're lucky.

If you've been waiting for Fieldstone to come back, now's your moment. Reserve a four-pack before the evening rush clears us out — the team and I will make sure it's cold and ready when you swing by.
