American Darling - Good Time Lager

Shouldn't mow the lawn.
That lone white cloud -- looks like rain.
Guess I'll have a beer.
Lizzie, Arlington, Mass.

If you're looking for another reason to try Pretty Things this summer, we hope a well-stated 7% pale lager might be a good bet too. We hear what you're saying: "a filtered Pretty Things lager"? Nothing strange about that, we love all sorts of beers!

This time we were looking to make the un-lawnmower beer. The first step in the process is to filter so that it can be more portable, without sediment to worry about disturbing. Put it in your coolers, your picnic baskets... your saddlebags. Take it to family reunions and pie eating contests, parades, beaches, fancy mustache conventions, wherever good summer fun happens!

Then fire up the grill, not just once - how about like every day! Get out the horse shoes, kick up your feet and forget that oily red jalopy out back even has a purpose.
