Cream Ales, aka Lawnmower Ales, are clean and refreshing ales that are descendants of the American Lager. As more German Brewers immigrated to the United States, lagers became prevalent in the late 1800's, and the American born Cream Ale was created to compete with those lagers, but with a slight fruitiness, as found in Ales. These brews are the perfect summer ale for mowing the lawn, or sitting in the shade while you “mow the lawn,” hence the "Lawnmower Ale" moniker.
