German Fatcap takes its name from a certain type of spraypaint nozzle (colloquially known as caps), which gained popularity in the graffiti world for their ability to quickly unload large amounts of paint in a clean circle the size of a basketball. German Fatcap’s 2018 artwork features from some special guest artists including: Jurnes TGE YME HM- @scienceism, Value HM- @supervaluable, Much HM IBD- @seesomethingspraysomething, and Hindue GTB with a special appearance from Mber HM NSF Network & Yen 34 HM SWS @heavymetalgang

ABOUT THE BEER

German Fatcap is our answer to an Octoberfest beer. A crispy malty festbier brewed with a German water profile, German malts, German hops, and German yeast – then aggresively hopped like an American IPA. Its bold hop character balances the rich malt backbone to create thick a FAT CAP of aromatic foam.
