IPA’s, barley wine (two of my favorite styles), big, rich stouts and the like are the Northwest’s styles of choice it would seem. But there’s another side to consider.

Even if you are a loyal IPA, suck-the-moisture-out-of-your-shoes kind of beer drinker, there is much to be said about a light and crisp lager. Full Sail’s Sessions comes to mind. There are many great lagers out there, but this one took me by surprise. It’s the perfect brew if your intent is to have a nice refreshing beer without a lot of complexity, bitterness and especially alcohol. Light, crisp, and nicely balanced with a sweet malty backbone and enough floral (not bitter) hop quality to give it character. The best part is that you can have a few without having to keep one foot on the floor to stop the room from spinning.

Barley wine’s are my style of choice, but this one will be a staple for me, especially when summer weather arrives. As always, if you’d like direction in choosing a lager, ask one of our beer stewards to guide you.
 
Cheers!
