Shane | Aussie Lager | BeerCo All Grain Brewers Recipe Kit BeerCo

Smell that son! What is it Dad? That’s the smell of a two-stroke son.  Second only to the smell of burning rubber or nitrous oxide at the Drag Strip! Shane loves fast cars, fast women and anything that can be burnt or chopped or pulled apart in his garage!  After a hard day of doing Shane stuff, he needs a refreshing clean light and crisp Aussie Lager to wash out the fumes and dust from his throat.  We reckon Shane our take on a classic Aussie Lager will have your mates beggin for another Pot or Pint from your Kegerator – awww please mate!

Cheers! #Shane #AussieLager #Beer #enjoyresponsibly
