Recipe: Northern Brewer This Beer’s For You American Lager

The most ubiquitous style of beer found in the US is the American Light Lager, and this is what many people simply know as “beer”. This recipe utilizes a clean foundation of base malt and then a significant percentage of rice is added to increase fermentable sugars without adding body or color. The result is a very pale, light-bodied and crisp lager with low bitterness and hop flavor featuring supreme drinkability. Perfect for warm weather, or any time you crave something light and refreshing.
