Kellerbier traces its history to when beer in Bavaria was stored in underground caves which were natural cellars - or kellers.  “Kellerbier” means "cellar beer” and kellerbiers today are a throwback to old lagers.  Naturally carbonated and unfiltered, kellerbiers are said to be more flavorful and with a softer mouthfeel.  And modern brewers are taking the old idea and applying it to modern lagers, resulting in beer lovers rediscovering a love of lager.
