Beers similar to Grain Belt Premium

American Lager·United States·4.7% ABV·One of 80 American Lagers in hopIQ·

hopIQ found 10 beers that share Grain Belt Premium's hoppy and malty character. The Minneapolis-Nordeast icon that Schell's has brewed since taking over Grain Belt in 2002. Light straw color, faint malt sweetness, unique Premium-hop aroma, low bitterness. Not a craft beer pretending to be macro — a real regional macro that the Twin Cities quietly protects as heritage. Iced, in a can, on a dock.
