Notes

This beer is my recipe for american lager that even my dad will drink. Feel free to omit the aroma hops and only use bittering hops. That would probably be more accurate to the style. I just cant help myself when it comes to aroma hops. It's called Lipton Lager because Lipton is the BMC of tea and I call my home brewery The Teahouse Brewery. Label coming soon.
