"Before the microbrew revolution took hold, Canadian lagers like Moosehead and Molson were considered "the good stuff." Possesing a more interesting hop profile than the lagers produced by their neighbors south of the border, Canadian-style lagers are crisp, refreshing, and very drinkable."

1/2 pound flaked barley
1 1/2 ounces Pride of Ringwood hops for bittering
1 ounce Kent Golding hops for flavor
1 package American lager yeast
3/4 cup corn sugar for priming
