Description

Brooklyn Lager is an American take on the Vienna lager style. It pours an amber gold and displays a floral hop aroma. This comes from a process called 'dry-hopping' where the beer is steeped with fresh hops during its long, cold maturation. There is a full malt flavour that isn’t overpowering yet forms a tasty caramel finish. Understated citrus notes create a crisp taste with a refreshing bitterness. The caramel flavours and fruity sweetness from the malt create many food pairing opportunities. Brooklyn Lager works wonderfully with burgers, salads, barbecues and even pizzas, the latter becoming increasingly popular summer fare with the advent of outdoor pizza ovens. The malt flavours connect with those in the bread, while the hops and carbonation cope well with any strong flavours.

Where to Buy

Thankfully this tasty Vienna-style lager has become widely available. Not only can it be found on most supermarket shelves in both bottles and cans, it can also be located in the fridges of many bars.
