🌍 United States · American Lager · One of 46 American Lagers in hopIQ

Payette built North Fork around Idaho-grown barley and the clarity of the river it's named for. Crisp, clean, pale gold — a true American lager without pretense or apology. At 4.8% it's refreshment first, and the 18 IBU means nothing gets in the way of simple, honest grain character. Exactly what it promises.
