I just fertilized my lawn today. With global warming my lawn is at least a month ahead of where it should traditionally be. Pretty soon I'll be out there mowing it, and what does that mean? I need lawnmower beer.
Now, as a homebrewer I don't think I should be stuck with Miller Lite when I get done with the "back 40," so I was wondering-- could we work on an official Lawnmower Brew?
At first glance this would seem simple-- make a really light lager with really pale lager malts-- but the tricky thing is to find a way to make the stuff interesting. Making a really good lawnmower beer is probably not all that easy, especially since many of us are not equipped to make lagers. It would probably have to be made with kolsch yeast or steam beer yeast to make it available for everyone.
