1872 Lager is a limited release pre-prohibition style lager beer. Peter Straub began brewing in St. Marys, PA in 1872 at a time when pale lagers had more color, more pronounced malt flavor, and were a touch hoppier than they are these days. We offer this beer as a tribute to our founder’s brewing legacy.

Pours a light tan, lingering head of small tight bubbles. First taste provides a crisp and refreshing hop bitterness followed by a malty sweetness with some light toasty notes. This beer has a mild spice and floral hop aroma with a brisk bitter finish. Overall impression provides a classic lager beer flavor and experience.
