International Pale Lager

This style is every bit thirst-quenching as it is flavorful, as International Pale Lagers feature bread-like, lightly sweet malt flavors, balanced out by mild, but still noticeable hop bitterness.

Glassware

A pilsner glass is best for this beer because its tall, slender and tapered shape keeps a foamy head from breaking apart. Plus, it showcases the beer’s color, clarity and carbonation. You can also pour this beer into a becher glass.

Food Pairings

Cheese: This style’s bready, malt aromas contrast salty notes in cheeses like Grana Padano or aged Parmesan. And the bitterness and crisp carbonation? They refresh the palate after a bite of creamy cheese.
Pastas: This style has enough bitterness and flavor to match and cut through chicken pasta with oil based or Pesto sauces, as well as light tomato sauce. And the bready malt sweetness of the beer? It works deliciously well with flatbread or bruschetta appetizers.
