Summer is nigh, and the dark beer has been moved to make more space for IPAs which already hogged the shelves. To protest, I bought some lager. Microbreweries are making some lovely ones these days (Pilsners, too).

Today I bought Ninkasi Brewing Co's Helle's Lager, nice and crisp, less malty than some, but very nice.

Kölsch is the "new" kid on the block, and I've eaten, I mean DRANK it on tap. It's liquid bread dough. Bottled? More generic, but not an IPA. Phew!
