Brewed with American 2-row malted barley, select cereal grains and German hops, Northeast Legacy Lager is a reminder that American Lager doesn’t have to be the thin, lifeless swill that its undeserved reputation says it does.
During the heady days of American brewing, long before the craft brewing renaissance started in the 1980s, most beer in the U.S. was an Americanized version of European pilsner.
Started by the flood of German immigrants in the 18th and 19th centuries and solidified by the waves of American soldiers returning from the World Wars with a thirst for European beer, American Lager became and remains the dominant style of beer in the United States.
In a time when life was simpler, our grandads would gather at the local pub after a long day’s work, sharing stories and laughter over a cold, crisp lager. They cherished every sip, savoring the camaraderie it brought. Northeast Legacy American Lager is crafted in homage to those moments—a nod to the beer they loved, and a celebration of the bonds it forged. With every pint and can, we honor their legacy, keeping the tradition alive for the next generation to enjoy.
