Kristina’s Pick: New Belgium’s Blue Paddle Lager – This Czech style pilsner has a rich, malty profile entwined with hints of hops. It embraces the lightness of the style and combines it with a crisp finish. The lager is refreshingly easy to sip on as you’re socializing with friends and family. If you ever have the chance to try Blue Paddle, you will see why it’s Kristina’s pick for National Lager Day!

William’s Pick: Angel City’s LAger – This honey grapefruit lager will surely make your tastebuds dance. It is delicate, slightly sweet and each sip will leave you wanting more. LAger is the perfect balances between smooth crispness and a subtle tart bite. It’s filled with strong citrus aromatics that’s noted in the taste of this brew as well.

Karla’s Pick: PB Alehouse Law Street Lager – With a light, crisp body and a clean finish, PB Alehouse’s Law Street Lager is one that you’ll have to try! It embraces the best of this beer style. Law Street Lager has a subtle Pilsen malt body that contributes to how refreshing this beer is. This sessionable beer is easy to sip on, and when you try it you’ll see why Karla chose this brew for National Lager Day.

Kelly’s Pick: Ballast Point’s Longfin Lager – This particular brew from Ballast Point has become a San Diego staple go-to. It is a solidly balanced Helles with a hint of hops that tops off with a smooth finish. A true fit to the style, Longfin celebrates this classic German style of brewing. With our mild winters here in San Diego and hot summers, this brew is fit for any time of the year. It’s no wonder it’s one of Kelly’s favorite lagers!
4.5% ABV | 17 IBU
Karen’s Pick: Ska Brewing’s Mexican Logger – Light and refreshing, the Great American Beer Festival award winning lager from Ska Brewing is the perfect lager to try. Although only available seasonally, Mexican Logger hits the spot on a hot summer day and during our “cold” San Diego winters. It’s light bodied with a clean and crips mouthfeel. Mexican Logger has a is malt forward with subtle hints of hops. It’s by far one of my favorites and the only thing that would make it better is if it’s available year-round!
5.2% ABV | 20 IBU
