Description:
Named for L.T. Dillon, the long-time jeweler who made the iconic Northwood Street Clock that still keeps time today. This beer also harkens back to a time before prohibition when the basic lager beers were maltier, hoppier and more flavorful than the watered down version of today's factory beers. Light-colored with a bit of yeast haze. Made with U.S. malted barley and 15% flaked maize.

Varietal Definition
Lager:
Pale lagers are the most commonly consumed type of beer in the world. Lagers are of Central European origin, taking their name from the German lagern ("to store"). Lager yeast is a bottom-fermenting yeast, and typically begins fermentation at 7-12°C (45-55°F) (the "fermentation phase"), and then stored at 0-4°C (30-40°F) (the "lagering phase"). During the secondary stage, the lager clears and mellows. The cooler conditions also inhibit the natural production of esters and other byproducts, resulting in a "crisper" tasting beer.
