Big Rock Brewery, Calgary, Alta.
3.8% Light Lager
Alas, Big Rock’s light is no better than most. Beer-and-club-soda flavour and consistency with a profile that is more sour than bitter.
Where to drink it: When you'd like the taste of a beer without the boozy punch, this might be nice at a family picnic on a lovely summer day.
Pairing: Use as a palate cleanser between a heavier soup, like leek or cream of mushroom, and a main dish.
