L51 Never delivers crisp, clean lagers that honor the independent brewing traditions of Canada. Our way of saying sorry, if you will.

Fermenting exceptionally well at cooler temperatures, this true North, glorious and free, lager strain is ideal for brewing a variety of styles including easy-drinking adjunct lagers. This strain produces well-rounded beers with a subtle malt foundation, moderate ester character, and a clean, malt-forward finish - because some things, like Canadian beer, should always stand on their own.
