🌍 Canada · Canadian Lager · One of 1 Canadian Lagers in hopIQ

Moosehead Lager is the flagship beer of Moosehead Breweries, a golden Canadian lager first introduced under the Moosehead name in 1931. Brewed with 100% Canadian two-row pale malt and Moosehead's own lager yeast, it undergoes cool fermentation and cold-ageing, producing a clean, light-bodied lager. At 5% ABV and 13 IBU, it strikes a refreshing balance between gentle malt sweetness and a low, crisp bitterness. One of Canada's most widely exported beers, brewed by the country's oldest independent brewery.
