The new beverage is a 4.7% ABV pilsner designed to offer lager drinkers a craft beer alternative to mass-produced lagers.
It’s brewed with 100% malt and 10 times the hops of most industrial lagers. To demonstrate the difference, BrewDog is offering free 1/3 pint tasters of This. Is. Lager. at all of its UK bars from 12 noon until 12 midnight on 3 September.
“If we can redefine lager in the UK, we will redefine our relationship with alcohol,” said co-founder James Watt. “We can actually start to reverse binge-drinking trends currently being tackled by toothless and misguided legislative proposals unlikely to ever see the light of day anyway.
“With the volume-driven industry leaders trying to pull the wool over drinkers’ eyes and the government trying to legislate their way out of a media disaster cul-de-sac, it’s time we treated drinkers like adults and gave them an alternative to ‘stack ’em high sell ’em cheap’ beers with no soul or taste.”
