Influenced by lager styles from Japan, Germany and the American prohibition. This light bodied, golden lager is our original brew, and a national award winning beer in 2023. It has a malt forward backbone that is accentuated by a crisp, dry finish.

Topped with a golden, crunchy breadcrumb crust for the perfect texture, this comforting classic is baked to perfection, offering a warm embrace with every bite. It's the ultimate side dish or a satisfying meal on its own!

In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the elbow macaroni according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Cook the Pasta

In the same pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the flour, whisking constantly for about 1 minute until golden and bubbly. Gradually whisk in the milk, ensuring there are no lumps. Continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens (about 5-7 minutes).

Make the Cheese Sauce

Remove the pot from heat and stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until melted and smooth. Add the salt, black pepper, and mustard powder, mixing well.

Add Cheese and Seasonings

Add the cooked macaroni to the cheese sauce, stirring until the pasta is well coated.

Combine Pasta and Sauce

If desired, sprinkle breadcrumbs on top of the mac & cheese. You can place it under the broiler for 2-3 minutes to brown the top.

Optional Breadcrumb Topping

Serve hot and enjoy your creamy, cheesy mac & cheese!
