Streetcar 82 Brewing Co. and 2Fifty Texas Barbecue are the latest businesses on the Route 1 corridor to work together on a new product.
Working with the Riverdale Park barbecue joint, the Hyattsville brewery has produced its new Pitmaster Vienna lager.
First brewed in Austria in the 19th century, Vienna lagers are typically medium bodied, slightly sweet and toasted, making them a good compliment to the heavy salted flavor of smoked meats.
Despite the name, they aren’t common in Europe, but they are popular in the U.S., where they harken back to the amber lagers made by German-speaking immigrants before Prohibition.
Streetcar 82 has also collaborated with Southeastern Roastery and Vigilante Coffee, among other local businesses, over the years.
