Lager Beer: Facts, Flavors, Serving & Pairing Tips
Lager should always be served and enjoyed cold. Tilt the glass to about 45 degrees and slowly pour the drink. A pint glass or mug can be used to serve dark and mass-brewed lagers whereas a Pilsner glass is ideal for a Pilsner-style lager. For Bocks and Helles, use a stemmed goblet, whereas Ambers are best served in steins. When it comes to lager and food pairing, pizza and salads are the best choice. These food pairings can elevate the taste of lager to a level up. American lagers make a great pairing with BBQ pizzas whereas German lagers taste great with cheese pizzas.
