Rahr's Red

Rahr’s Red doesn’t have any funny anecdotes about how it got its name and it wasn’t the first beer we ever brewed, but this amber lager doesn’t need any of that because the real story is its balanced flavor. The notes of caramel and its sound malt character are perfectly balanced with just a bit of hops. This is a super-smooth, very drinkable beer and at the end of the day, that’s what is most important.

This was one of the first Rahr beers I have ever tried. Rahr's Red is one of the better beers I have had. The sweet flavor at the start with a good bitter bite towards the finish. Hats off to you Rahr
