Beer Menu

At Gordon Biersch, we only brew with the highest quality, traditional ingredients imported from Germany, including barley and wheat from the 130 year-old family owned Weyermann Malting in Bamberg, noble Hersbrucker hops and Weinstephan yeast. Our heritage of superior quality harkens back nearly 500 years to the introduction of Reinheitsgebot – the German “Purity Law.”

Although originally intended to maintain quality brewing practices, this tradition of using only the freshest, purest ingredients governs every aspect of the Gordon Biersch experience. We proudly adhere to this code of quality not only in our award-winning handcrafted beers, but in every plate of food on our tables. Experience the flavor – taste the heritage.

Golden Export

Our lightest, most refreshing lager, delicately hopped with a clean, crisp finish. The demand was so high when it was first brewed in the 1870s, that it was “exported” to other regions.

Original gravity: 11.5° Plato
Alcohol by volume: 5.00%
Bitterness units: 17

Hefeweizen (hay-fa-VEIT-sen)

This traditional German wheat beer is left unfiltered to bring out its sparkling, yet subtle notes of banana & clove. It was once reserved for Bavarian royalty but evolved into a breakfast or after church beer, a testament to its refreshing palate.

Original gravity: 12.5° Plato
Alcohol by volume: 5.50%
Bitterness units: 12

Czech Pilsner

A classic Bohemian-style Pilsner with a rich golden hue, medium-bodied and boldly bittered with spicy, signature Saaz hops from the Czech Republic.

Original gravity: 12.5° Plato
Alcohol by volume: 5.60%
Bitterness units: 36

Märzen (Maert-zen)

An extremely smooth, auburn colored Bavarian lager with a mildly sweet, Munich malt finish. Our most popular beer, it was originally brewed in March (“März” in German) and stored in caves to be drunk during warmer weather when lager brewing was outlawed.

Original gravity: 13.5° Plato
Alcohol by volume: 5.70%
Bitterness units: 18

Schwarzbier

Literally meaning “black beer” in German, this delectably dark lager has a surprisingly light body with a delicious, dry, roasted coffee finish.

Original gravity: 11.2° Plato
Alcohol by volume: 4.29%
Bitterness units: 21

Blonde Bock

With deceptive strength, this lager has a delectable honey like maltiness. Bock is German for goat, which is a symbol of strength and virility. Bock beers were originally brewed by monks to minimize hunger pangs during fasting periods.

Original gravity: 16.5° Plato
Alcohol by volume: 7.00%
Bitterness units: 20
