MA’s oldest lager pouring now was 1st brewed in 1898 by the Harvard Brewing Company, the lager survived the Great Depression, prohibition, and WWII before halting production in 1956. This historic American-style, premium lager also made a brief encore in the late 1990′s and early 2000′s with Concord Brewery. Any recipe that has seen 3 different centuries speaks for itself.

Draft to finish off night. Deep gold and white head. Nose is bready and some florals. Rich bodied for lager. Herbal and grassy and some bread

draft at brewery in lowell - Pours golden with a thin head. The aroma is of mild hops. The flavor has a lightly hoppy taste with a body that’s a touch thin, but not bad for the style. This is pretty good for a pale lager, but that’s not saying much at all.
