Golden Road Brewing Releases 329 Lager in Honor of Sunny Days in L.A.
Summertime all the time beer is brewery’s first craft lager
(Los Angeles, CA) – Ever the lovers of southern California’s enviable climate, L.A.’s Golden Road Brewing has released 329 Days of Sun Lager, a nominal tribute to the region’s average number of sunny days. The brewery’s first of this sessionable style, 329 Lager is the latest addition to Golden Road’s core brews and arrives just in time to become everyone’s favorite date to summer activities.
A delectable departure from the beloved west coast style IPAs synonymous with Golden Road, the new year-round beer is a respectful nod to the delicate nuances of a lager that have disappeared in the world of macro brews. Committed to craft an L.A.-centric profile, brewmaster Jesse Houck and his team explored different approaches to the traditional style from hop varietals to yeast strains. The winning combination is a thoughtful, palatable marriage of nostalgia and full-flavored, easy-drinking bliss.
“We made 329 Lager because we saw a huge demand for a well-crafted lager in L.A. that is approachable yet still full of flavor,” said Jesse Houck, Golden Road’s brewmaster. “Our goal with this bottom-fermented beer is to continue to help grow the craft beer community and culture by offering a wide variety and a well-rounded portfolio so that everyone can find something to please their own tastes.”
The lager is meant to appeal to those looking for an everyday brew and experienced craft beer drinkers alike. Medium-bodied, crisp and refreshing, 329 Lager is perfectly suited for L.A.’s outdoor culture and a drinkable complement to summer barbecues, beach hangouts, baseball games and everything in between. A balanced combination of Bravo, Tradition, and Opal hops, the 4.8% ABV American-style lager emanates a delicate floral finish with notes of honeysuckle and jasmine.
The newest Golden Road release sits between the non-profit partnerships in the brewery’s seasonal Custom IPA Series – on the heels of 2020 IPA and just ahead of the highly anticipated May return of Heal the Bay IPA. 329 Lager joins Golden Road’s year-round core brands – Golden Road Hefeweizen, Wolf Among Weeds IPA, Get Up Offa That Brown and Point the Way IPA. Available in draught and cans, 329 Lager six-packs of 12-oz cans retail for $8.99.
The lager launch
is also the first to feature Golden Road’s new, more environmentally-conscious packaging – 100% recycled, full-color printed chipboard boxes will eventually replace all of the brand’s brown, corrugated cardboard four-pack boxes.
