December 10 is National Lager Day. I am sure many of you have your favorites.
In America it is written that "in 1840 John Wagner brought yeast from his native Bavaria and brewed the nation's first lager beer in Philadelphia. German immigrants began brewing lagers, which soon became popular and promoted growth of America's brewing industry."
There is historic marker in the neighborhood where it was first brewed. See:
