Picture it: you’re chowing down on a delicious cheesy beef and bacon burger with a side of crispy salt and vinegar fries when suddenly the fries make you thirsty. Having a glass of water nearby for such an occasion may have been a good idea, but do you know what would’ve been even better than water? Beer.
An ice-cold lager gets you through a burger meal better than anything else. If you want to know what the best lager beer is to go with your next burger, consider one of these five brews.
1. Yee Haw’s Dunkel Lager
Yee Haw’s Dunkel (the German word for dark) lager is a faithful retelling of this wonderful and traditional German recipe. Dunkel lagers often have chocolaty or fruity notes to their taste, making them an interesting experience for beer drinkers to savor. This beer has a dark and rich taste but remains light enough to let your burger take center stage.
2. Buenaveza Salt & Lime Lager
Buenaveza’s salt & lime lager is native to the beaches of Southern California and brewed to refresh people who spend all day in the sun. It’s the perfect lager to compliment the sliced jalapenos in a spicy burger. The sea salt and lime flavoring is a little unorthodox, but we promise that these qualities enhance this lager’s lager-ness and don’t detract from it.
3. Leisure Time Lager
If you like your beer not too pale but not too dark, this one’s for you. Leisure Time’s amber lager is a crisp American craft lager that goes incredibly well with a classic or a cheeseburger (as long as there’s beef involved).
Brewed from 100% barley, Leisure Time makes for an excellent burger and larger combo, especially if your patty is on the fatty or oily side. It’s also refreshing, light, and the smoothest of the lager flavors on tap.
4. Hap & Harry’s Tennessee Lager
If you’re a proud local or want the fullest possible Tennessee experience, then try Hap & Harry’s. This light, slightly bitter, bready malt beer makes a great addition to any meal. This is one of the most versatile lager pairings, as it can fit with almost any burger flavor you can imagine.
5. Sky Dog Lager
Sky Dog’s pale lager has a wonderfully typical “beer” t,aste (i.e., it’s not trying to put on airs or be fancy), and that’s what we love about it. It’s refreshing, smooth, and incredibly light. It’s also the best low-calorie option for anyone who pays attention to those sorts of things.
