About This Holiday

This holiday invites connoisseurs and casual drinkers alike to savor the crisp, clean taste of lagers, which have been bringing people together for centuries. Lagers are distinguished by their brewing process, where they are fermented and conditioned at low temperatures, yielding a smooth, crisp flavor profile that varies from the light, refreshing pilsners to the robust and malty dunkels.

Originating from Central Europe in the 19th century, lagers led a brewing revolution that expanded across continents. Their approachable flavor is often highlighted by a gentle bitterness balanced with a subtle malt sweetness, making them versatile companions to a wide array of cuisines. From backyard barbecues to fine dining, lagers enhance not only meals but also connections, as they are often shared in good company. Whether you are sampling a local craft creation or a time-honored international brand, National Lager Day is the perfect opportunity to explore this beloved beverage. Raise a glass, delve into its rich history, and appreciate the global camaraderie that a simple but extraordinary lager can inspire.
