American Lager
Beneath the surface of its refreshing and thirst-quenching sips, this style balances a complex profile of light, bread-like malts, subtle yeast fruitiness and low bitterness. Plus, most American Lagers are lightly carbonated to go down smooth.

Coors Banquet
Glassware
A pilsner glass is best for this beer because its tall, slender and tapered shape keeps a foamy head from breaking apart. You can also pour this beer into a pint glass or mug.

Food Pairings

Fried Food & Meat: The American Lager has a crisp, clean taste that cuts through fatty and fried foods. And the beer’s malty sweetness? It perfectly contrasts salty cured meats, yet complements meats that are lightly browned and grilled.
