TYPES of LAGERS

FARGO BREWING COMPANY

BREWS

Lagers have a smoother, crisper and mellower taste.

American Light Lager

Pilsner

Bock

A lower calorie version of the American Lager with a bit less flavor and less alcohol. This is the most popular type of beer in the U.S.

Pilsners have a light flavor with a crisp, bitter finish and floral notes from the hops varieties.

Bocks are a stronger and sweeter lager than other styles because it is brewed using more grains.

ALES

Indian Pale Ale

Brown Ale

Wheat Beers

Porter/Stout

IPAs are highly hopped, favoring citrus and piney varieties for a big nose and high bitterness.

Brown Ales are dark amber and light- to medium-brown in color. They are typically maltier and sweeter than pale ales, with nutty and caramel flavors.

American Wheat beers are pale with a light wheat bread character.

These are the darkest beers, with dark roasted malt flavors and aromas emphasizing chocolate, coffee and sometimes even molasses.
