The Texas Rattlesnake's Second Beer

Broken Skull IPA put Steve Austin and El Segundo Brewing on the map together in 2014; the American Lager is the working man's follow-up — brewed, in the brewery's own words, for the working man and woman as "the ultimate reward for a hard day's work," and built to go down "easier than a 3-day weekend." It is a classic American lager take: American-grown barley and hops, 100% Contessa hops for a gentle floral-citrus edge, and a clean, dry finish.

Tasting Notes

Crystal-clear pale gold with a tight white head. The nose is clean — fresh grain, light honey, a whisper of floral hops. The palate is bready malt sweetness met by crisp, lightly herbal hop bitterness, finishing dry with a faint lemon-zest lift.

How to Enjoy

Ice cold, straight from the can or in a chilled glass. This is a tailgate, barbecue, and post-work beer — serve it as cold as your fridge allows.
