Apparently there's a beer renaissance going on in Queens, and Trevor Nelson is going to tell you about one of the breweries and beers that is part of it. Check it out!
Jan Olympic White Lagrrr!
This beer is one of the first seasonals brewed from Singlecut Beersmiths in Queens, NY. The first micro-brewery to open in Queens since before the prohibition, this craft brewery is a symbol of the cultural shift happening in Queens and the development of a deeper pride for the borough. Singlecut prides itself on crafting an often neglected genre in the craft brewing scene: lagers. Or, as Singlecut refers to them, Lagrrr!s.

The Jan Olympic White Lagrrr! is a hazy
dark caramel color, with a moderately rocky head. The aroma is
strongly herbal with a bit of orange, lemon, and sweet malt. On the
palate, this beer has a phenomenal balance of citrus, malt and spice
with a surprisingly smokey finish. The mouthfeel is refreshing and
light. After walking a few blocks from my apartment in the winter
cold to Singlecut's tasting room, this beer was a fantastic way to
beat back the cold. It's refreshing balance, perfect mix of spices,
and gentle smokey finish has made for my new favorite winter beer.
The Jan Olympic has been so popular that the brewery has decided to
make it a year round beer. If Singlecut is indeed a symbol of things
to come to Queens, I'm excited for what comes next.
