This is for the away games—when the sofa becomes your official residence for four (or more hours), your clothing somewhat matches the uniforms on your television screen and a cooler sets up shop as your at-home bartender within arm’s reach. Portland’s Burnside Brewing Co. has designed an ale to go into that ice box for the consummate fan, in the form of an aptly sessionable lager—the Couch Select Lager. Brewed with pilsner malt, German Tettnang hops and fermented with Bohemian lager yeast in a true Helles-style lager, the Couch lager offers up plenty of flavor with creamy malts and a crisp hop presence to refresh when the game gets heated. As the first canned beer for the brewery, Burnside’s Couch Select Lager’s retro packaging harkens back to simpler times of simpler beers, just with the power of a Portland brew.
