New England Brewing Company: Atlantic Amber & Elm City Lager

The New England Brewing Company is a small brewery located just outside New Haven, Connecticut. The brewery produces three beers, Atlantic Amber, Elm City Lager and a special brew called Gold Stock Ale that is brewed not necessarily every year.

The Atlantic Amber is a steam style brewed with lager yeasts at an ale temperature. This style originated in San Francisco and is indigenous to the United States. It pours an amber color with a huge, tan head. This smooth and malty beer goes down easy and leaves a lot of froth in your mug.

The Elm City Lager is a German style pilsner that pays homage to the town of New Haven. It pours a clear yellow style with a large head of foam. It finishes with a crisp taste and is very easy to drink.

Both of these beers are incredibly easy to drink and perfect for summer days on the docks or beach. Since they only come in can form and look remarkably like Coke and Sprite cans, they can be taken just about anywhere.

Highly recommended.
