A modern take on a world classic, Ansbacher Lager is a Premium Lager Beer, brewed in London.
Drawing on the family heritage of our brewery, Ansbacher Lager is London’s nod to one of Bavaria’s greatest brewing traditions: Helles Lager.
The beer is a bright, brilliant gold in colour, and is clean, crisp and refreshing. A delicate aroma of traditional and contemporary hops is paired with a subtly sweet malt base, leading to a snappy, bitter finish.
