Unfortunately most people in Britain think that Lager is cheap, fizzy, yellow beer that doesn’t taste of anything. This stereotype has been perpetuated by a certain regional brewer that still likes to make fun of the drinkers of this type of beer.
Lagerboy is our proof to you that a Lager brewed with care and attention can be just as flavourful and moorish as the best British of Real Ales. We craft this beer with British and German malt, an obscene amount of Czech hops and then ferment it low and slow with one of the most famous lager yeast strains.
If you didn’t know, it is ONLY the type of yeast that determines if a beer is a Lager or not.
TASTING NOTE
Deep golden colour, creamy white head and nice noble hop aroma. Nice malt backbone with some caramel sweetness, finishing dry with a firm hop flavour and bitterness.

On tap at the brewery, Henley-on-Thames, Oxon 20.04.12 Pours mid gold with a white head. Nose is quite gentle, not clinical or hard with no corn or metallic edge that I could discern. these aromas I often get with many lagers, the longer lagering/ageing process has left this softer and a bit more refined. Initially there is a flush of sweet soft malts but this then opens open to reveal a harder more lager like minerally bitterness. I was driving and had already ordered a dirty 69 so could only have a small sample, however it was very good. A8 A4 T8 P4 Ov15 3.8
