Only ever drink lager? Not for long

We’d never disrespect a lager here at Dan’s Daily. We’re big fans, especially now that so many different breweries have turned their attention to this most easy-going of beers. But sometimes, a change is as good as a holiday – or so they say. We’re not suggesting that swapping your go-to lager for another beer will feel like you’re poolside in the tropics (spoiler: it won’t), but every now and again, it’s worth branching out. And if you’re ready for a beer that’s a touch more hoppy, has a little more depth or maybe just simply tastes different to your usual pick, we have just the thing. 

It’s a big wide world of beer out there, and just like if you only ever order the same three things at your favourite local takeaway, it’s time to shake things up. That doesn’t mean going straight for a smoked beer or double IPA, unless you’re feeling game, of course – you want to try the red curry over the green, or the mushroom pizza instead of the capricciosa. Baby steps, in other words. There’s a time and a place for your everyday lager, but we think the following friendly ales (and one lager with a twist) will expand your horizons in the most delicious ways.
