Of origins unknown (and why ask why, to quote the well-known ad slogan), today is National Lager Day. Celebrate by enjoying a classic, American lager like the ones featured in our May/June 07 issue article, “Not Your Daddy’s Lager.” A couple of our favorites:
Victory Lager – Downingtown, Pa.
This German-style lager pours pale yellow with a light, lacy head. It’s a well-rounded beer with a nice malt presence upfront and a touch of hops on the end.
Brooklyn Lager – Brooklyn, N.Y.
Hops! With a floral aroma upfront, a touch of citrus, and more bitterness than most American lagers.
