Local Lager Love

Summer is here!

The temperature has been steadily climbing and with that comes the need for light and refreshing beer! Craft lagers have had a bit of a resurgence this past year and I couldn't be happier. Nothing seems to quench my thirst and kill the heat the way a super clean lager does. SO.....

Here are some local, delicious, lagers you can find around town! 

 

Availability: In Stores and on Draft
Brewery: Rockwell
Name of Beer: Stand By
Lager Style: Pilsner

Description: 

This is a balanced battle between hops and malt. Some sips are very hop driven and with others the delicious, cracker-esq, malt is the star. Each sip more refreshing then the last.
 

 

 

Availability: BREWERY ONLY
Brewery: Wellspent
Name of Beer: Wellspent Lager
Lager Style: Keller Pilsner

Description: 

This is a super soft, approachable, lager. Incredibly clean due to extensive lagering. Malt driven with super subtle hops. This pilsner is best poured slow af and enjoyed quickly to get another!
 

 

 

Availability: In Stores and on Draft
Brewery: 4 Hands
Name of Beer: Full Life
Lager Style: American Lager

Description: 

It's time to consider switching lawn mower beers! This american-style lager is built to rule your thirst with an iron fist and put its larger competitors to shame. 
 

 

 

Availability: On Draft (Cans brewery only)
Brewery: Civil Life
Name of Beer: Vienna Lager
Lager Style: Vienna 

Description: 

It should come as no surprise that Civil Life is included in a post about lagers because well... they just brew them so damn well! Their Vienna lager is an absolute prize. It's got everything, sweet malt, herbal hops, and a super clean finish that will have you ordering pours back to back. 
 

 

 

Availability: BREWERY ONLY
Brewery: Narrow Gauge
Name of Beer: Helles Gamed
Lager Style: Helles

Description: 

Narrow Gauge has been cranking out some amazing lagers. Helles Gamed being their newest release. A hyper traditional take on Helles with spicy, herbal hops and a crisp malt backbone. Narrow Gauge does this style (one of my favorites) absolute justice!
