Ziggy gets a facelift
Silver City Brewery introduces the new, reimagined Ziggy Zoggy.
These days, it is not at all uncommon for a craft brewery to produce lagers and there is no shortage of well-crafted pilsners, kellerbiers, dortmunders, and other kinds of lighter-bodied, highly quaffable lager-style beers. It wasn’t always like that.
Back in prehistoric times, like ten years ago, it wasn’t easy to find craft-brewed lagers and when you did, they were often token efforts. Something pale and bland, begrudgingly slapped together to appease the people say, “I usually drink light beer.” Yes, a small handful of breweries focused on lagers and produced very good ones, but most craft breweries ignored lagers.
