Labor Day, the first Monday in September, is a creation of the labor movement and is dedicated to the social and economic achievements of American workers. It also marks the unofficial end of summer and the start of football season!
So, fire up the grill this Labor Day and celebrate the history of the working class with an ice cold beer!
New Belgium Shift Pale Lager
New Belgium employee-owners work in shifts to brew to life world-class beers. Their efforts are rewarded daily by sharing an end-of-shift drink — the Shift Pale Lager. Think American pale ale meets American lager. It’s easy to drink, crisp and congratulatory. So, clock out and crack open a Nelson Sauvin-hopped Shift Pale Lager to reward your work. Or play.
The aroma consists of a delicate interplay between the subtle flavors of American hops and specialty malts. The hops bring fruity (nelson), citrusy (cascade) and floral/herbal (liberty) aromas while the malts exhibit toasted bread and a touch of sweet honey. The mouthfeel is clean and crisp with a delicious quenching quality.
Full Sail Session Lager
Original Session, with its signature bright red label, is a classic all-malt, pre-prohibition style lager that reminds us of what American lagers used to taste like. It’s light, flavorful, refreshing and has a touch of that import-style taste.
Who is the quintessential Session drinker? That’s hard to say. Virtually everyone who likes beer likes Session — craft beer aficionados, import drinkers or devotees of lawnmower beers. It’s not a micro, macro or an import. It’s a little of each… and yet, none of the above. In other words, it is a true original.
Named World’s Best Premium Lager at the World Beer Awards and winner of a slew of other shiny trophies, Session has truly earned itself a place at the bar. Not to mention the barbecue.
