Herrenhäuser Lüttje Lage

Tap to rate

Hannover's Lüttje Lage is a 2.8% session lager so light and crisp it barely announces itself — which is the entire point. Traditionally chased with a Korn schnapps, it's built for a long afternoon at the bar, not for contemplation. Refreshing, undemanding, communal.
