This is the definition of a lager made for drinking. Brewed with the same exacting standards and traditional methods as our Keller Lager, the Session Lager is in effect a mini-Pilsner. It is pale in colour and low in alcohol but still delivers the same delicious flavours and crisp finish that you would expect from a higher abv% version.
We use Franconian Pilsner and Munich malts, Spalt Select and Mandarina Bavaria hops along with our own house yeast to ensure this fresh take on premium lager might just be 3.8% ABV, but it’s 100% Braybrooke.

29/IV/23 - on tap @ Tilquin English Beer Fest, BB: n/a (2023-372) Thanks to all for sharing today’s beers!
Clear blond to orange beer, big solid creamy white head, stable, adhesive, leaving a nice lacing in the glass. Aroma: very malty, grains, some diacetyl, hay, a bit of a sweet impression. MF: ok carbon, medium to light body. Taste: malty start, grains, hay, good bitterness, very malty, more grains, nice. Aftertaste: more bitterness, malty, grains, hoppy, a bit grassy, good malty backbone, decent lager!

Large foamy white head stayed on a nicely carbonated unclear straw coloured body. Grain, tobacco & cereal aroma. Medium bodied, very sharp & clean on the back. Cereals, grainy, lighted fruited & malt tastes with nice hoppy finish. Good one

Bottle from Cork & Cask. Clear golden body with a thick white head. Steady carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of grass, earth and raw potato. Flavour of peppery hops, bay leaf and a tight, bitter finish. Thin to medium body with a smooth texture. Light fizz. Crisp and spiky. Lovely.

Panda at home things to Shig, 29/09/20. Almost clear golden orange with a decent just off white cap. Nose is grass, hint of caramel, fruit esters, grains, airy malts. Taste comprises toasted grains, malty bite, caramel, biscuit, bready notes. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close. Not bad.

26/9/2020. Bottle shared with SHIG, bought from Beer Garage, Northampton. Pours hazy pale gold with a small bubbly white head. Aroma of grain, hops, sweet malt, hint of banana. Moderate sweetness, bitterness and body. Slightly watery with average carbonation. Crisp finish. Pretty decent lager/helles.
