Rahul Kalvapalle — April 20, 2022 — Lifestyle
Lord Hobo Brewing Company, a craft brewer that grew out of a beloved craft beer in the city of Boston, has launched a delicious new golden lager that aims to pay tribute to the city in which it was birthed and in which it is best enjoyed.
The '617 Lager' is named after the Boston phone code, and aims to exemplify a deep sense of identification with the city.
As far as its flavor profile is concerned, this particular golden lager is said to have a malty character and an identifiable but not overpowering hoppy bitterness. Developed using just one variety of hop and one malt, this golden lager's ingredients are allowed to speak for themselves.
According to Lord Hobo's marketing director Aubree Karls, the '617 Lager' "reinforces our sense of Boston identity and continues our love affair with the city."
