I have never tasted a Pale Lager quite like today’s Foeder Contessa.

It’s everything a Lager should be — crisp, clean, and oh-so refreshing — with added complexity from over 3 months of conditioning in Elder Pine’s temperature-controlled American Oak Foeder! 

During the last 10 days of that process, the brewers added a carefully considered dose of rare Contessa Hops directly to the Foeder. This brand new, experimental hop variety graces the brew with delicate notes of pear and green tea. A whisper of oak on the finish balances the fruity notes. 

You’ve probably tried plenty of Lagers over the years — if you’re anything like me, it’s your go-to style for everyday drinking. Now, it’s time to elevate your Lager game with Foeder Contessa. 

With a pint of this brew in hand, any afternoon on the back porch will feel a bit more special. 

Elder Pine was one of USA Today’s Best New Breweries of 2020!
