Better with Beer: Union Lager

We’ve got a brand new collabrewation (hah, get it) hot off the press. Union Lager is a Dortmunder-style lager brewed in celebration of our friends over at Fair State Brewing Cooperative’s newfound status as a Union Brewery. This Lager is crisp, easy to drink, and super crushable.

Just like every other Schell’s Beer, Union Lager is best enjoyed with the people that you love – our beer is #BrewedtoGather through and through. And nothing screams family and friends more than a good ole seafood boil. Down below, we’ve got a great, crowd-pleasing recipe for you to try, and it even includes Union Lager! Grab your favorite people, some German sausage, a pack of Union Lager and get ready for the perfect spring afternoon.
