Welcome to the darkness, my friend. I am Nighthawk, a German-Style black lager, known as Schwarzbier.
Within my sleek black exterior lies a clean, crisp, and captivating brew. Brewed with a generous infusion of chocolate wheat and debittered black malt, I offer a bold coffee roast flavor without a trace of bitterness. Some call me the elusive cousin of German-style dunkels, but I am so much more. My character is drier and darker, yet I retain a velvety allure that sets me apart.
As you savor my creamy smoothness, you'll be enchanted by the surprisingly pale-colored foam head that adorns me. With low to medium levels of sweetness, I invite you to immerse yourself in the intricate flavors that only the darkness can reveal.
Join me on this nocturnal journey, where darkness meets delectable flavor. Explore the depth and richness of my profile, as I invite you to embrace the mystique of the Schwarzbier and discover a new world of taste.

Energen Brewing started with a love for brewing, when Chris Energen started homebrewing on his friend’s on-campus apartment stove. Wanting to further pursue his passion, Energen built his own 10-gallon all-grain system and started brewing with his brother. A year later, Joe Nascenzi - Energen’s Lacrosse buddy from LCU - joined their brewing endeavours and the 3 opened Energen Brewing Co together. Since then, Energen has released many lager style beers - from traditional German-style lagers and hoppy West-Coast style pilsners, to big baltic porters and doppelbocks!
