Lagers are not just one type of beer- there are many varying styles and tastes depending on where they come from. In this article, we will explore some of the best craft lagers in the UK and tell you what they taste like.

We will start with one of the most popular types- the pilsner. Pilsners are light and refreshing, with a slightly sweet flavor and a crisp finish. Some of our favorite UK craft pilsners include Beavertown’s Gamma Ray, Camden Town Brewery’s Hells Lager, and Thornbridge’s Jaipur.

If you are looking for something a bit more flavorful, then you might want to try a bock. Bocks are smooth and malty, with hints of caramel and chocolate. Some of our favorite UK craft bocks include Buxton Brewery’s Axe Edge, Saltaire Brewery’s Blonde, and Siren Craft Brew’s Six Hop.

If you are looking for something a bit more elegant then you might want to try Vienna lager style beer. These beers have strong flavors of toast, bread crust, or biscuit that give them their full flavor. Some favorite UK craft viennas include Marble Brewery’s Vienna, Siren Craft Brew’s Undercurrent, and Fullers 1845.

If you are looking for something a bit more exotic then you might want to try dunkels. These beers have flavors of toast or bread crust with rich caramel maltiness that gives them their full flavor. Some favorite UK craft dunkels include Northern Monk’s Dark Arts, Wylam Brewery’s Jake the Snake, and Hawkshead Brewery’s Lakeland Gold.

We hope that this article has given you a good introduction to some of the best craft lagers in the UK. So what are you waiting for? Get out there and try them all!
