MSTR SHRDDR

Tap to rate

A crisp light lager with subtle malt character and a hint of floral aroma, finishing with a bracing bitterness that stays well-balanced. It is a 4.2 % lager brewed in Petaluma, where Lagunitas has made all of its beer since the Chicago brewery closed on 1 August 2024. Life Is Uncertain (don't sip) is one of the brewery's three simple truths.
