Lager

Lager. Gets it’s name from “Laagars” which are open fermentation vessels. Typically a cold and bottom fermented beer, the lager has a history rich in heritage. In the 19th century, prior to the advent of refrigeration, German brewers would dig cellars for lagering and fill them with ice from nearby lakes and rivers, which would cool the beer during the summer months. To further protect the cellars from the summer heat, they would plant chestnut trees, which have spreading, dense canopies but shallow roots which would not intrude on the caverns. The practice of serving beer at these sites evolved into the modern beer garden.

Expect to taste slight grassy notes, clean crisp and light to no hops.
