To celebrate America’s 250th anniversary, we looked back to the industrial American lagers that filled taverns and corner bars throughout the Midwest.

Built from months of research into historic brewing records and firsthand accounts from retired brewers, MERICA was brewed with grain grown and malted less than 100 miles from our brewery, Illinois corn, Cluster hops, and traditional lager fermentation. This refreshing American lager has a lightly grainy malt character, firm bitterness, and plenty of history in every pint.
