Description:

Pre-Pro Lager is the true embodiment of brewing at East Brother. It’s a nod to classic styles but with a twist. Pre-Pro, which stands for “Pre-Prohibition,” attempts to imagine what beer tasted like before the Prohibition Era in the United States over a hundred years ago.

Prohibition radically altered the way beer was brewed and consumed, so trying to replicate beers brewed before Prohibition could come off as a daunting task—but one we were eager to take on. Because of Prohibition, many small-scale breweries shuttered or were absorbed by large-scale breweries. With fewer and fewer breweries, beer became more uniform in style. Light Lagers became the norm in America, even after Prohibition.

That’s one of the reasons we love our Lager series—it showcases the potential of Lager and breaks down what we know it to be. Every season, we release a new style of Lager, partially to celebrate the season, and partially to demonstrate how versatile this style of beer is. There’s no greater reminder of that than Pre-Pro.
