Introducing Lgr: Our Hand-Crafted Lager
We are excited to announce the launch of the newest addition to our beer family – A hand-crafted lager, or as we like to call it… Lgr!
This new creation has been years in the making, and we can’t wait to share it with you. Lgr is now available in 330ml cans to buy online in our webshop. It’s a premium 4.4% golden lager built on a base of the finest Norfolk malt. We have combined a subtle blend of floral and citrus-forward hops to create a crisp, clean, and mellow finish that is sure to refresh.
You may notice we have four°c written on the front of the can, so what’s this all about? The answer lies in the final fermentation phase when we slowly drop the temperature from 4°C to zero. This slow process creates a smoother, crisper finish, and we believe the extra time and attention we give each batch makes all the difference.
Lagering is a process that is crucial to the development of the unique flavour and aroma profile of any good lager. The process involves storing the beer at a low temperature for an extended period, usually several weeks or months. The word “lager” comes from the German word “lager,” which means “to store.”
Our brewers take lagering seriously. To create a genuinely exceptional lager, patience is vital. We take our time, unlike mass-produced lagers that cut corners and use chemical accelerants to speed up the lagering process. Our Lgr, for example, spends approximately 4-5 weeks in our conical conditioning tanks, where it is lagered longer for a fresher flavour. This extended lagering period allows the beer to develop a unique flavour profile that is crisp, clean, and refreshing. The result is a delicious, authentic beer, and true to the lager style.
So when you enjoy a cold glass of our Lgr, remember that we don’t hurry perfection and the beer in your hand results from a lengthy and meticulous process. We hope you taste the difference in every sip.
As part of our brewery expansion plans, we installed and commissioned a new canning line at the brewery, which means we are able to small batch can Lgr so you can enjoy tank fresh Lager direct from the brewery. We’re incredibly proud of all of our brew team’s hard work and dedication to creating Lgr. It’s undoubtedly hand-crafted and made with love and care. We’re passionate about sharing all our beers with you, and we hope you’ll enjoy Lgr as much as we do.
If you can’t wait to get your hands on some Lgr, you can order a case now on our website with a click & collect option at checkout from either our Head Office location in Lowestoft, NR33 7NA or from our brewery in Great Yarmouth, NR3 3NZ.
