Cisk Lager
First brewed in 1928, Cisk Lager is a golden colored, bottom fermented lager with a distinctive and well balanced character.

Not surprisingly it was voted as the “Worlds Best Standard Lager” by Britain’s influential ‘Beers of the World’ magazine in 2007.
It is available in the USA in 33cl glass bottles and 33cl cans (in six packs).
