German Tradition, Moorpark Address
Enegren began as dorm-room homebrewing at Loyola Marymount before Chris and Matt Enegren and Joe Nascenzi founded the brewery in Moorpark in 2010, with a focus on German-inspired beers and a heavy emphasis on lagers. The Lightest One is the purest expression of that mission: a Helles in the Munich manner, brewed in Ventura County — soft, bright and clean rather than hop-showy.

Tasting Notes
Nose: Light and clean, in the brewery's description. Palate: Bright and crisp with a light hop presence over a gentle malt body. Finish: Clean and refreshing — a full-flavoured lager that drinks light, per Enegren.
How to Enjoy
Serve it well chilled in a tall lager glass or a mug. Helles is the original food-flexible beer — pretzels, roast chicken, schnitzel, or simply a warm afternoon all suit it.
