You won’t find our Special Release #1 in a grocery store. Our 40-Month Live Aged Angus is a rare, grass-fed steak with huge flavor, big marbling, and serious size. It’s 100% Angus. 100% grass-fed and finished. And 100% unforgettable.

what is “live-aged” beef?
Most beef is harvested at a young age (18 to 20 months old) and fattened rapidly in feedlots. Not ours.
At Hi Bräu, our animals live their entire lives on pasture. Even our grain-finished cattle graze daily. However, this Special Release goes even further: Our Live Aged Angus is harvested at 40 months, allowing it more time to develop rich flavor and dense, buttery fat.
what makes this beef different?
1. extra age = extra flavor
At 40 months old, these steers have twice the lifespan of conventional cattle. That added time means more marbling, richer fat, and a deeper, more complex taste.
2. 100% grass-fed & finished
No grain. No feedlot. Just ryegrass, crimson clover, vetch, native pasture—and hay when needed. This creates nutrient-dense beef that’s high in omega‑3s and CLAs.
3. full-blood angus genetics
These aren’t crossbreeds—they’re pure Angus, known for their consistency and high-end flavor.
what's it taste like?
Expect bold beefiness with umami, mineral, and spicy grass notes. Thanks to the age and genetics, these steaks naturally grade in the Low Prime range, same as top steakhouses.
And yes, they’re massive. Bigger animals mean bigger steaks. No complaints there.
but is it tender?
More age means more flavor, and a little more chew. These steaks aren’t tough, but they do have a heartier texture than our younger cuts. We still call them tender… just with a bit more backbone.
And of course, they’re dry-aged for two weeks, like all Hi Bräu beef.
