Kellerbier

Kellerbier

Kellerbier (German: [ˈkɛlɐˌbiːɐ̯] ; cellar beer) is a type of German beer, an unfiltered lager originating in Franconia.[1]

Kellerbier contains more of its original brewing yeast, held in suspension. As a result, it is distinctly cloudy, and is described in German as naturtrüb (naturally cloudy).[2]

Kellerbier is often served directly from the barrel in a beer garden, but may be bottled as well.
