Longball Larry shoots and scores in its third edition — a true MVP in our lineup.
First dropped in 2017, it was one of the country’s first craft lagers to make a slam dunk on the scene.
This updated recipe blends Pilsner malt and flaked corn for a light, crisp body with less maltiness, balanced by Carapils malt for color and a lasting foam crown. The Simcoe dry-hop hits hard with red berries, pine resin, fresh-cut grass, and pine needles. It delivers a subtle accent of Simcoe grapefruit, combined with the smooth, clean finish and drinkability of a lager.
Perfect for long sips and refreshing breaks — a game-winner down to the last drop.
· Year of first brewing: 2017.
· Milestone: One the first craft lagers we made, and one of the first ones in the country.
10th ANNIVERSARY SERIES: 10 beers, 10 moments that made history.

A can shared with Marko at the Goblet Beer Store, Zagreb. A can was a huge gusher for no apparent reason. Unclear golden to yellow. Small off-white head. Aroma is perfumy floral, bready and cardboard. Smooth, creamy, cloying. Flavour is bready, citrusy, floral and cardboard. Finishes sweet and bland.

Can at Goblet. Hazy pale golden-yellow body, off-white head. White wine, floral and herbal hoppy notes in the aroma. Similar taste, low floral and herbal aroma, bit of white grapes, dry and bitter. Okay.
