Resident Culture Brewing Company, a Charlotte, North Carolina-based brewery that has established itself as one of the most exciting new craft breweries to emerge anywhere in the U.S. in the last few years, has launched a delicious premium lager that mercifully does away with the misconception that lagers are a pedestrian beer format.
The 'Right Time' lager is a malt-forward offering that contains pleasing notes of bread and biscuit, with its texture offering a pleasing balance between crispness and creaminess, making it an eminently crushable brew that you'll always want to have on hand.
Chris Tropeano, co-owner and director of brewery operations over at Resident Culture, stated that this beer was inspired by the simple fact that lagers have been a key part of the brewery's success and acclaim. “It’s the beer style we most like to drink and the one we probably appreciate the most in terms of its difficulty to brew and the subtlety and nuance," Tropeano said. "We really wanted to deliver a well-executed, consistent and delicious version of a classic style with Right Time.”
