Light and smooth, we developed this ale to please both those used to drinking the "macro-brews," and the seasoned micro-brew drinker. Its refreshing taste is perfect on a hot summer day, and its moderate alcohol level makes it a great session beer. Its history stems from the immigration of Europeans to North America, when pale lagers were the beers of choice but bottom fermenting lager yeast was not available. Thus a beer style was developed which combined top fermenting English ale yeast with the German tradition of cold storage, and "lager ale" or "cream ale" was born.
