"Ever since we first brewed 1872 in 2012, people have been asking us to make it available throughout the year," said Straub Brewmaster Vince Assetta. "So, I am especially happy that 1872 Pre-Prohibition Lager will indeed now be available year-round as part of the new Peter Straub Signature Brew lineup. This classic American beer is crisp and full-bodied, but yet has a drinkability that makes it go well with just about any occasion."

1872 Pre-Prohibition Lager embodies the enduring legacy of one of the most historic and iconic breweries in the U.S. inspired by Straub Brewery Founder Peter Straub - who began brewing in
St. Marys, PA in 1872, at a time when pale lagers had more color, a more pronounced malt flavor, and were a touch hoppier than they are these days - 1872 is a classic pre-Prohibition-style lager.
It has a mild spice-and-floral hop aroma balanced with a slight malty sweetness and some light toasty notes, and is punctuated by a clean, crisp finish.
