Zagori Microbrewery's flagship beer — an unfiltered pale lager brewed with Epirus mountain spring water. Naturally hazy with a fresh, rounded malt character and a gentle hop bitterness from European varieties. Zagori Lager is the Greek mountain craft lager: the terroir of the Epirus limestone springs expressed in a refreshing, live beer with significantly more character than a standard filtered lager.

Appearance

Zagori Lager presents a pale golden hue with a distinctive natural haze characteristic of its unfiltered nature. A bright white head forms initially with moderate retention, and the beer maintains lively carbonation visible as fine bubbles throughout the glass. The cloudiness reflects its live, unpasteurized character and adds visual appeal.
