Lager is having a renaissance thanks to a new generation of talented craft brewers

Whether at a barbecue or in the pub, lager is the fizzy golden drink we Brits are famous for enjoying – three-quarters of all the beer we consume in the UK is lager. Yet it's also long been written off as a cheap, flavourless brew. Of its reputation, "somm-ale-ier" Melissa Cole reflects, "The pile 'em high, sell 'em cheap brands have no right to call such drinks lagers; in general, they don't go through the lengthy cold maturation period that gives true lager its refreshing quality."
