What are You Drinking for National Lager Day?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"IMG_1561\"<\/a><\/h2>\n

I think it\u2019s fair to say that the craft beer world in the U.S. is dominated by ales. But, being that today is National Lager Day, we\u2019re raising our glasses in celebration of craft-brewed lagers and the brewers who are dedicated to making them.<\/p>\n

Today at lunch I celebrated National Lager Day with a\u00a0Sprecher\u00a0Special Amber (yes, there are perks to working for a beer club). First time I had one of their beers, I thought they were a German brewery. Between the brewery name, label design, and my impression of the beer itself, I could have sworn it was fresh off a boat from Bavaria. But no \u2013 it was from Milwaukee. Wow, if only the \u201cmacro\u201d brewers in Milwaukee made beers like these!<\/p>\n

We\u2019re always excited to find a good craft lager, as they\u2019re just not that common. Rarer still are brewers like\u00a0Sprecher, whose focus is on lagers and whose beer portfolios are stacked with a multitude of different lager styles.\u00a0Sprecher\u00a0is an old favorite of mine for this very reason. (Keep a lookout for their beer in an upcoming\u00a0Microbrewed\u00a0Beer of the Month Club shipment.)<\/p>\n

So what are YOU drinking on this National Lager Day?<\/p>\n

Cheers,
\nBrett<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
