KAIJU! Cerveza Crisp Lager - 20L A-type Keg

KAIJU! Cerveza Crisp Lager: Your Award-Winning Fiesta Beer

For a brewery renowned for its hop-forward IPAs, KAIJU! Beer’s brewmaster, Nat Reeves, is pretty obsessed with lager. That obsession has paid off: this Cerveza was officially crowned Best Aussie Lager at the recent Australian International Beer Awards (AIBA).

This isn't just another Mexican-style lager; it's a testament to years of experimentation and a new-found passion. Brewed to be the ultimate session beer, Cerveza is the perfect keg to keep on tap for any and every celebration.

Flavour Profile & Perfect Occasion

Tasting Notes

Get ready for a beautifully clean and crisp lager profile that's light on the hops. Expect subtle aromas of light, grainy malt and just a hint of zesty hops on the nose. The flavour is all about maximum refreshment—it's exceptionally clean, smooth, and perfectly balanced. A light-as-air body provides the perfect base, finishing with a snappy, dry, and incredibly refreshing finish that's just begging for a wedge of lime (or absolutely not).

The Perfect Occasion

This is the keg you must have. It's perfect for sun-soaked sessions or just chilling with your crew. It's the brew you'll consistently reach for, thinking, "Just one more." The perfect refreshment for every occasion, it’s an approachable craft lager that will satisfy everyone, from seasoned beer judges to your mates who "just want a lager."

Behind the Brew: A Lager Obsession

It all began in Europe, where KAIJU!'s Nat Reeves was blown away by a revelatory unfiltered Pilsner Urquell. This experience kicked off years of experimentation, including the years-ahead-of-its-time Paradise Pils.

Nat’s lager knowledge snowballed through several trips to his wife’s (convenient) home-country of Germany, not least through the influence and guidance of Schönramer’s Eric Toft. Despite being captivated by German beers, Nat recognised that their flavour profile is challenging in the Australian climate. A tip from a respected Northern German brewer resulted in importing a specific yeast strain that was perfectly suited to the clean, refreshing style Nat was seeking.

Ultimately, the light-bodied, easy-drinking Mexican-style Cerveza emerged as the perfect fit for our climate, combining simplicity with drinkability. The unique yeast esters added a fresh twist, cementing KAIJU!'s successful foray into a new brewing style.
