You know that moment at the end of a long week when you want a beer that isn't going to ask anything of you? That's what Reach for the Saaz is for.
It's an American Light Lager, 100% Czech Saaz-hopped, at 4.6% ABV, and it comes loaded with caramel cream, citrus, and floral notes, plus a woody aromatic that keeps it from being totally forgettable the way light lagers sometimes are. Oakland's Original Pattern built this one as part of a six-beer drop this week, and it's clearly the one meant to be the reliable, no-drama option in a lineup full of louder styles.
Original Pattern's whole thing is variety, and having one easy lager in the mix says they know not every beer needs to be an event.
Available now.
Sometimes the best beer in the lineup is the one that doesn't try to be the best beer in the lineup.
