    There's constant posts on BA about "whales," hyped up beers, release dates for much coveted beers, etc., etc. But none of these beers ever seem to be lagers.

    Now, I don't want to get into the whole discussion of why ales dominate the American craft market or why lagers get the shaft by so many people; however I would like to hear opinions on what the most hyped lager is. I am just curious.

    Thanks in advance!

    Recently, Jack's Abby Hoponius Union has been getting a lot of mention around here. Seems to be a favorite for a lot of Mass. locals.

    Boston Lager? I can't think of any limited release lagers sooooo the most purchased one must be the most hyped?

    hype means ad copy, not praise. question is empirical; consult brewery press releases, commercials, and claims in the trading forum.

    Probably something like Ayinger Celebrator.

    I guess other noteworthy ones would be Rogue Dead Guy, DFH My Antonia, Southern Tier Krampus...

    Hoponius Lager is pretty amazing. I had some while in Massachusetts over Easter.

    Not necessarily hyped but definitely the (American) "craft" lager I see around these parts that gets the most attention is Victory Prima Pils.

    If The Livery bottles Trippelweizenbock, Kentucky Kaffinator, Cherry Bomb or Runemeister we will see some lager whales.

    Agree Prima Pils is a fine beer. Also like Great Lakes Dortmunder Gold, i think its a fine lager.
