There are two basic types of beer—ales and lagers. Among the non-Budweiser drinking population, ales are generally lauded and lagers mocked as weak, clear beers not worth drinking. Of course, Bud is trying to break into the ale market as well with an “American ale,” so maybe they agree with that sentiment? Unlikely…
Anyway, lagers as a whole can be much better than the macro-brewed examples would lead us to believe. In fact, there are actually some pretty good lagers out there (you like Octoberfest beers, yes?). Great Lost Bear will present a few lagers that might just improve your opinion, tonight. On tap tonight, you can find Stella Artois, Flying Dog Old Scratch Amber, Sam Adams Octoberfest, Brooklyn Lager, and Sam Adams Boston Lager. Having enjoyed all of these (well, Stella is only above average; the rest are pretty good though), I hope the Bear is able to expand beer horizons tonight. As always, $2.50 pints from five till nine and brewery and GLB prizes to be had. Enjoy!
