We have new beer! “Erbe ’48” | Märzen | 5.2% ABV Inspired by local brewing history and the German Revolution of 1848, this beer honors the heritage of German settlers in our community. Erbe translates to "heritage." We’re excited to release Erbe ’48, (pronounced AIR-BUH) a special Märzen brewed in collaboration with @twinspanbrewing. Made specially for our Oktoberfest events earlier this Fall, we got the rest of the batch canned and ready to take home! This is a limited brew and would make a great unique gift for a German beer lover in your life. Comes in 16 oz packs of 4 and is only available in our gift shop. $14 for a 4-pack, GAHC+M members get a 10% discount! #beer #german #museum #immigration #history #iowa #davenport #quadcities #gift
