“Nosferatur is ‘the beer with the bite’ as we sometimes say (much like our label’s namesake vampire),” said Great Lakes Brewing Co. brewmasters Luke Purcell and Mark Hunger in a Fresh Stories blog post.

“But in addition to its big Simcoe and Cascade hop profile, the roasted biscuit flavors shine through, too. We pride ourselves on offering well-balanced, flavorful beers, and this is a perfect example. Not too malty, not too hoppy.

The beer is available in Wegmans stores that sell beer, except for those in Massachusetts.
