December 10 - National Lager Day

 

Happy National Lager Day! On December 10, we raise a glass to the third most popular beverage after water and tea.  


While lager is typically characterized as a light, summer beer we believe that every season deserves to be celebrated with a few of your favorite things. 


Lagers are distinguished from other beers by using a cold-conditioning process. The types of yeast used are referred to as “bottom-fermenting” yeast or yeast that can develop at colder temperatures.  


Before the advent of refrigeration, brewers perfected this process in cellars dug into the ground and filled with ice. Those who taste the delicious results described the lager as “crisp” and “refreshing.”  


It is no wonder that this method caught on and produced a wide variety of brews synonymous with regional and national brands. 


With so many choices from pale, amber or dark, not to mention the many craft varieties there is are endless possibilities for your enjoyment. 


With that said, grab some friends and celebrate this midwinter season with the taste of Summer!
