Days of the Beer, February 12

The Beer for today is Fort Street Brewery Lincoln Lager.

On February 12, 1809, Abraham Lincoln was born. Lincoln was the 16th President of the US. He was in office from March 4, 1861, until he was assassinated April 14, 1865.

There's a little soft history connecting Lincoln with beer.

"I am a firm believer in the people. If given the truth, they can be depended upon to meet any national crisis. The great point is to bring them the real facts... and beer."

— Abraham Lincoln

No one is really sure if he actually said the "and beer" part, but Lincoln was known for his humor, so he might have said it.

As to the beer:

Fort Street Brewery is located in Lincoln Park, Michigan (near Detroit).

An American-style lager. Clean, crisp, and easy drinkin'.

It's 4.25% ABV and has 9 IBUs. So it's definitely a sessionable beer.

I'm not sure if you can get this beer anywhere other than the brewery, but if you can get there, go have a Lincoln Lager.
